5 Worldly Lies That Trap Christian Women...

Kim Dolan Leto – Bestselling Author, Christian Motivation & Success Coach
About this episode

🔥We've been lied to. Every scroll, every ad, every "boss-babe" message is teaching us to chase success the world's way—leaving us stuck, striving, and spiritually empty.

But not today.

Today, we're exposing 5 of the biggest lies Christian women are believing… and replacing them with God's truth that sets us free.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the things and still not enough, this episode is for you.
Let's get free, God's way.

Episode Summary:

The world says hustle harder, look perfect, and do it all.
But God says be still, abide, and let Me lead.

In this powerful episode, I call out 5 common lies that keep Christian women striving instead of surrendering—and shares the biblical truths that restore peace, purpose, and confidence.

You'll walk away knowing how to:

  • Recognize the lies keeping you stuck

  • Replace worldly pressure with godly peace

  • Rebuild your confidence through Scripture

  • Rest in God's plan instead of your own

What You'll Learn:

1️⃣ The Finish Line Lie:
There's no "arrival" moment in faith—just daily faithfulness. (Philippians 3:14)

2️⃣ The Shortcut Trap:
God's blessings come through sowing, not shortcuts. (Galatians 6:9)

3️⃣ The Not-Enough Lie:
You're not behind or broken—you're complete in Christ. (Colossians 2:10)

4️⃣ The Control Illusion:
Peace doesn't come from control—it comes from trust. (Proverbs 3:5–6)

5️⃣ The Hustle Deception:
Burnout isn't holy. Rest is your warfare. (Matthew 11:28)

Bonus Truth:
Confidence without Christ is counterfeit. (1 John 4:19)

Declarations to Speak Out Loud:

"I don't chase arrival—I walk in daily revival."
"I sow in faith and reap in God's time."
"I release control and rest in His direction."
"Peace is power. Rest is warfare."

Quick Recap:

Each of these lies can keep you striving instead of surrendering—
but God's truth sets you free.
There's no finish line, no shortcut, and no hustle strong enough to replace His peace.
You're already complete in Christ, and your worth is found in Him alone.

Scriptures Mentioned:

Philippians 3:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Colossians 2:10 • Proverbs 3:5–6 • Matthew 11:28 • 1 John 4:19

Faith Over Hustle:

The world says, "Hustle harder."
God says, "Be still and know."

If this episode gave you that holy wake-up call, share it with a sister who's ready to trade burnout for breakthrough.

Then head to https://kimdolanleto.com/7-day-christian-fitness-challenge
and start building your strength, confidence, and success—God's way.

Because the world offers pressure, but Jesus offers peace.
Remember, You are Strong. Confident. His.
