Kim Dolan Leto – Christian Fitness & Mindset Coach | Bestselling Author
About this episode

Have you ever felt like your fitness journey is full of setbacks, slow progress, and moments where you just want to quit? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing how God used a recent home renovation to show me that fitness transformations are a lot like remodeling a house.

I’ll walk you through five key phases that mirror both home renovations and your journey to better health. This mindset shift will help you stay motivated, trust the process, and lean on God when things feel messy or incomplete.

God is the Master Builder. Jesus is your Cornerstone. And He’s not finished with you yet.

 

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why fitness results take time and what to do when they feel slow

  • The five key phases of transformation that mirror home renovation

  • How to stop quitting in phase three

  • The power of perspective and trusting God in the process

  • Biblical encouragement that He is rebuilding you from the inside out

 

Faith Fuel:
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1

 

A Prayer to Encourage You:
God, thank You for being the Master Builder of our lives. Help us to see that even when things feel messy, slow, or undone, You are working behind the scenes. You rebuild what’s broken, reframe what’s been out of alignment, and restore what we thought was lost. We trust You with the process. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
