TESTIMONY BY ESTHER
I can confidently say that 2024 has been one of the most transformative years of my life. It wasn’t because of a career milestone, athletic victory, or financial breakthrough. To most people, 2024 might have seemed like an unremarkable year for the powerlifting athlete, coach, and influencer who went from posting content three times a week to barely three times a year. Crickets. People asked, “What happened?” But while the world saw silence, God was doing His loudest work in me. Before this year, my identity was tightly bound to social media and the Powerlifting scene. My worth felt measured by how much I could lift, how well I could coach, and how many likes and shares I could gather. Pride, anger, and an unrelenting need to prove myself consumed me. My biggest idol, as silly as it sounds, was the numbers I could lift. My days revolved around chasing strength, pushing my athletes to new limits, and showcasing it all to the world. I lived for applause, but deep down, I was running on empty. In 2024, Jesus tore those idols apart. He reminded me of who I am, not as an athlete or influencer, but as His beloved child. He set me free from the suffocating need to prove myself and re-centered my identity in Him. Discovering my true identity in Christ has been the greatest gift of my life.
