When Weakness Isn’t the End: Faith, Fitness & 2 Corinthians 12:9

In today’s Faith-Fueled, Fit Friday, we’re diving into 2 Corinthians 12:9 and talking about what it looks like when God meets us in our weakest places and helps us overcome them. There are areas of health and fitness where I’ve watched others thrive—and quietly told myself, “I’ll never be strong enough for that.” I’ve had dreams I believed were out of reach because I thought, “I’m just not built that way.” But God has been challenging my heart not to settle in weakness—to stop letting discomfort and fear define what I believe is possible and overcome those thoughts. For example- my core has always been a major weakness, and after babies it’s been even harder. Instead of avoiding it, I’ve decided to face it in obedience and trust God to strengthen me. That’s why I’m starting a 7-Day Plank + Scripture Challenge, and I want you to join me. 💪✝️ The Challenge: -Hold a 1-minute plank -Every day for 7 days -While memorizing a Bible verse -Strengthening both body and spirit 📖 As we hold our plank, we’ll meditate on God’s Word—because His power is made perfect in our weakness. 👉 Comment below with the Bible verse you’ll use for this challenge, and let’s encourage one another as we grow stronger—inside and out. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Faith-Fueled, Fit Friday encouragement.
