Strong. Confident. His. | Christian Fitness, Devotionals, Biblical Health & Encouragement for Women

Have you ever been taught that focusing on your health or fitness might be selfish… or even vain?
Many Christian women have been exposed to a more legalistic view that caring about their bodies or health is prideful or worldly.
But when we look at what Jesus actually said, we see something very different.
Jesus tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves — which means caring for your body and your health was never meant to be selfish.
In this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I'm sharing what Scripture really teaches about caring for your body and why stewarding your health can actually be an act of honoring God.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why many Christian women believe taking care of themselves is selfish
• How constantly serving everyone else can lead to exhaustion and neglecting your health
• What Jesus meant when He said to love your neighbor as yourself
• Why caring for your body is biblical stewardship, not vanity
• How shifting your mindset about your body can transform your relationship with food, fitness, and discipline
This episode will help you stop seeing health as something selfish and start seeing it as an act of gratitude for the life God has given you.
When you begin to love yourself the way God loves you, you begin to care for yourself the way He intended.
Scripture Referenced in This Episode
Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Matthew 22:37–39 — Love your neighbor as yourself
1 Corinthians 6:19–20 — Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
3 John 1:2 — I pray that you may prosper and be in health
Philippians 4:13 — I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Today my husband Bill and I are celebrating 25 years of marriage, and this episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast reflects on what God has taught us about faith, love, and supporting each other through every season of life.
Years ago, Bill and I recorded this conversation together where we shared how we met, Bill's journey of faith, and the early seasons of building a life together.
Before fitness competitions…
before cover shoots…
before writing books and building a Christian fitness ministry…
Bill and I were simply two people learning how to build a life together and put Christ at the center of it.
There were seasons where my dreams probably sounded a little crazy — like when I decided to start training and eventually become a fitness competitor. But Bill supported me, loved me, and believed in me through every season, and I've been honored to walk beside him through every season too.
Marriage has taken us through many seasons, and through every one of them God has been faithful.
When Christ is at the center, He carries you through the joyful moments, the stretching moments, and the ones where your faith grows the most.
So today, in honor of our 25th anniversary, I'm replaying this conversation with Bill.
Whether you're single, married, healing, or praying for the relationship God has for you, I hope this episode reminds you that God's timing and His plans are always greater than we can imagine.
IN THIS EPISODE
• How Bill and I met
• Bill's journey of faith and how his heart changed for God
• Lessons from 25 years of Christian marriage
• Supporting each other through life seasons
• The early days of my fitness competition journey
• Why putting Christ at the center of your life and marriage changes everything

If you're a Christian woman feeling discouraged with your progress, struggling to stay consistent, or wondering why your growth feels slower than you hoped, this devotional will help you realign your heart and mind with God's truth. Many Christian women love God deeply and want to honor Him in their health, habits, and daily lives, yet quietly carry frustration, discouragement, and pressure when they don't see the progress they expected.
This Living God's Way Devotional will help you understand that your spiritual growth, health journey, and personal transformation are not defined by speed, but by your alignment with God. When you feel discouraged, it does not mean God has stopped working. Scripture reminds us in Philippians 1:6 that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. God is not discouraged with your progress. He is present in it, strengthening you, forming you, and guiding you forward.
If you've been starting over, questioning yourself, or feeling discouraged in your body, your habits, or your consistency, this devotional will help you return to peace, trust God's timing, and continue moving forward with spiritual strength and confidence.
In this Christian devotional, you'll reflect on:
• Why Christian women often feel discouraged with their progress • What Scripture teaches about trusting God's work in your life • How discouragement can weaken your spiritual confidence and focus • How to release pressure and realign your identity with God's truth • How to continue your health and fitness journey with peace and spiritual strength
God is not measuring you by perfection. He is leading you through formation. Every step of obedience, every moment of surrender, and every return to Him strengthens your faith, your identity, and your spiritual foundation.
This devotional is part of the Strong. Confident. His. podcast, where Christian women learn how to renew their minds, strengthen their bodies, and walk confidently in their identity in Christ.
Are you ready to go all in with God in your health journey? Could you use a step-by-step plan that puts Jesus at the center of how you care for your body?

Do you keep starting over with your fitness, workouts, or healthy eating — and wonder why you can't stay consistent, even though you love God and genuinely want to honor Him with your body?
If consistency feels just out of reach, this episode will help you understand why — and what needs to shift.
This episode is for the Christian woman who is tired of restarting her fitness journey every Monday. Tired of promising herself, "This time will be different." Tired of starting strong… and then quietly stopping.
Friend, I know how discouraging that cycle can feel. You want to steward your health well. You want consistency. You want peace instead of pressure. But somewhere along the way, motivation fades, and you find yourself starting over again.
For years, I believed I needed more discipline. But what God showed me was deeper than discipline.
It was leadership.
Romans 8:14 says, "For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God."
Consistency isn't built by trying harder. It's built by learning to live Spirit-led instead of self-led.
In this episode, I share:
• Why Christian women keep starting over in fitness and weight loss • The spiritual root of inconsistency • My personal journey from cycles of stopping and restarting to stability • The difference between self-led fitness and Spirit-led fitness • Practical, faith-centered steps to finally break the cycle
If you've ever wondered:
Why do I keep starting over with fitness? Why can't I stay consistent with my workouts? Why does my motivation disappear? How do I stay consistent with fitness as a Christian woman?
This episode will help you understand what's really happening — and how God can lead you into consistency, peace, and lasting change.

If you're a Christian woman struggling with body image, food, or feeling at peace in your body, this devotional will help you understand what's really happening.
What feels like a physical struggle is often rooted in a deeper spiritual battle affecting your focus, your identity, and your peace.
Instead of trying harder or blaming yourself, this devotional will help you see your struggle through the truth of God's Word so you can stop fighting yourself and begin standing in the spiritual authority God has already given you.
In this Christian devotional, you'll reflect on:
• Why your body image struggle is not just physical • How spiritual distraction weakens your peace and focus • What Scripture teaches about your identity and spiritual protection • How standing in truth brings peace, confidence, and freedom • A powerful reflection to help you realign your mind with God's truth
When you understand the nature of this battle, you stop striving and start walking in peace, stewardship, and alignment with God.
