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

Have you ever felt like your strength ran out and you didn’t know how to keep going?

Maybe you're walking through a hard season with your health, your habits, or your goals—and you're doing everything you know to do, but it still feels heavy. You’ve been praying. You’re trying to stay strong. But deep down, you’re discouraged and tired.

In today’s episode of the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast, I’m sharing the one Scripture that has carried me through my hardest seasons: Isaiah 40:31.

You’ll learn:

  • How to stop striving in your own strength and start relying on God’s power

  • How to see yourself like the eagle in the storm and rise above the struggle

  • Three biblical mindset shifts to help you keep going when life feels heavy

  • A short, heartfelt prayer for strength when you're weary

  • Two worship songs that have ministered to me on days I didn’t have the words

If your struggle right now is with your body, your motivation, or your mindset, I want to help you invite God into it.
