what I wish I knew about the 'fitness culture' - from a *CHRISTIAN* fitness “influencer”

[@valeriekangwamakayi4658]

Imagine me being scared to fast cause I'm scared I'll lose my glutes or any weight I've managed to gain *as someone who has a body that finds it hard to gain but loses weight instantly * never again. Yohhhh God thank you for the conviction the Holy Spirit is giving please. Thankful so so thankful

[@KesiFit]

As a Christian KZbinr starting a fitness niche, I can really understand where you’re coming from… Remember: as you grow in your relationship with the Lord, your mind will continue to be shaped by Him… The way you dress and live, will always reflect, your knowledge and spiritual maturity! I’ve had people questioning why not show my abs/belly in my abs workouts thumbnails, or wear shorts during the workouts because it’s “normal” and my answer is the same: modesty is still beautiful, and God loves it… I am here to motivate people to workout with me, move their bodies if they can, in a joyful way, I am not here to show parts of my body May the Lord keep guiding you ❤

[@estheriruh]

So true God bless you

[@outlets878]

Please we need god-centred living and fitness. Looking after this vessel to honour God. Honour the gifts God has given. Continue fitness but led God be the motivation so us Christian Ladies can work out alongside you in joy, delight and look after ourselves.

[@TimewithTali]

Amen so glad to hear this. The Lord has been inclining me to add more lifestyle content to my videos and go back to fitness content but now with Christ 👏🏽💗🤞🏽

[@minahan9315]

Thank you for posting this it is much needed in our society today. At the end of the day we are all serving SOMETHING, whether we are conscious of it or not. “Choose this day whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15

[@zuritlapa3208]

Oh my! I couldn’t step in the gym for a while bcuz my mind wasn’t renewed I didn’t understand it. Now God is saying I am your lord over all things and his showing me how to care for my body and present myself in the gym in performance and mindset. Today I am deciding to go back God is calling me to go there and something told me to look you up and here it is more confirmation . God is healing his people.

[@bongegumede]

This makes me so happy! Glory be to God!

[@fabdeigg6732]

So proud of you for saying “yes” to Him. May God continue to bless and keep you 🙏🏾.

[@trinitytv7_]

I have been following you for yearssss . ❤I noticed when the change came and God moved in this channel, first in YOU. And I praise God for this! I was led to walk away from fitness for a while and I didn’t fully understand why but now I see that the Lord had to break my idol that I made about having the perfect figure and the perfect butt. He spoke to me about modesty and now I don’t even feel comfortable walking into a place where everyone can see every nook and cranny of my body! I really needed to hear this because I felt God telling me , “okay it’s time to go back to worshiping me WITH your body/healthy living.” And the first thing in my spirit at 6 AM was to look for your channel as I remembered you love God and I can glean from you in a way where I don’t have to be concerned about being focused on idolizing self. This word is on time and for me and I am so grateful. ❤God bless you. And I mean tangibly and internally , and externally with protection aswell in Jesus name. Amen Glory be to God!

[@bongegumede]

You have no idea what this message means to me, Trinity - thank you. Thank you so much. Oh it’s been a journey; He revealed the pride, the idolatry, and more than anything, being in a position of influence - I needed humility. I didn’t even know it. The Lord is so kind! And His ways are truly not our ways. He is good. He is holy. He is pure. And it’s a gift to have learnt truth; that our bodies were created to worship (Him). I’m so happy to have you here on this journey. Thank you for being here…and for allowing the Lord to speak through you 🙏

[@modest_181]

As a muslim who is into fitness the industry is absolutely getting out of hand glorifying women’s bodies and being displayed in the most horrible way. I am so happy you have found your purpose. One question, what happened to change your mind this would be interesting to hear. Looking forward to what you do next

[@quishaiesha]

I'm from the U.S and you really inspire me to get in shape and take good care of myself overall, because I've been abandoning myself in all aspects for so long and bonge you are beautiful! and you are the truth that I know that god is using as his vessel to lead his children back to him keep doing you and his work!

[@Khumo_Tshenkeng]

I love Jesus so much and I have also let go of the world, it wasn’t easy I was always praying to him to help me let go . My body was also popping and I was a fitness influencer every time I go on a fast I would be so worried that I am gonna lose my muscles but now I don’t care and I am glad that God is now number one ☝🏼 in my life ❤️🥺.. God is going to bless you even more!!

[@KatNdlovu]

OhMyGod when I say this resonated so much with my current struggles 😮as a small Fitness KZbinr I had so many perverts on my channel n I was so frustrated tellin em to go away n they ddnt so 1 day I questned myself bt "Wht am I doing to keep them entertained like that, that dey dont wanna leave?" Den it hit me..the clothes I wear when I workout, angles of body idolization etc after that I been trying to find fitness influencers who address these types of topics bt no luck ,i also thought like everyone films and wears like that in Fitness videos, i ddnt have confidence that my channel was gonna work out with modest involved bt then I found Leana Debb but I wanted Christian perspective n South African mybe just to relate, then u came in with this humble transition n I was already subscribed from years ago, n when I say I'm so grateful omg THANK U SO MUCH DONT STOP GETTING THE WORD OF GOD OUT THERE WE NEED IT and i cannot wait to put changes on my channel 🤎🤎🤎

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Yulixna1]

Giiiirl, I love to watch your videos. So much wisdom, God bless youuuu!

[@Joelle__K]

When you made the comment about dressing a certain way to "feel good", one other thing that came to mind is by which standard we define "good". The word of the Lord says God is inherently good. Therefore His standard is good, even in our dressing. Which also then ties into modest dressing (even in fitness), or building our bodies for the sake of honouring His temple rather than looking a certain way for a certain type of attention. The Lord's been convicting me too on this. Thank you for your obedience in making this video.

[@maryodindo5616]

We are here for it ma'am!!! 🔥💜 We finally get to hear the gems . No wonder you said to keep it for the vlog during bible study yesterday 😅

[@valeriekangwamakayi4658]

You do not know what you have done for me. What the Lord has done through you to give me this message. Thank you so much. The conviction in me still has me reeling and this is coming from watching this 4hours ago. It has alittle to do with ass and the like for me, It's more to do about my relationship yooooohh Bonge thank you. We give glory to God.

[@faithutoro7915]

Thank you for this message. I pray so many people will be open to the true gospel of Christ.

[@LilithaMgoqi]

it is so amazing to see God living and constantly working in you. It is a blessing on it's own to be able to have the strength to say yes to the life that he wants you to live. thank you for sharing this message that truly needed to be heard. keep doing what you're doing sis, we need more creators in this space like you

[@nosiphotshingilane114]

You are amazing Sisi may God bless you with putting Him 1st.❤❤❤

[@baum7des7lebens7]

Thinking of eternity and godly things is the ultimate sustainability. We have to remind ourselves of this by hearing the message often enough to not be obsessed over our self image. I really appreciate sitting down with what you said here!

Speak sis! I’m wearing my baggy workout clothes now a smaller size, after telling myself that when I lost weight I’d wear those shorts! Lord had mercy on me! Glory be to God! Thank you Jesus for my dear sis ❤

[@nonku_mgwili]

Love the fact that you mentioned the idolisation of the body sis❤❤❤ may God really continue to use you in reminding this to ppl in this industry

[@africandaughterofthunder8449]

Love everything about this my sister in Christ! So proud of you for pivoting and sprinting towards God. As a child of God in the gym & on social media too, it’s hard to not be convicted seeing & even partaking in sinful things that grieve the Holy Spirit, as idolatry, indecent dressing, sexual immorality etc. May God keep His children away from evil/sin and may we triumph over the world. Lots of love to you! 🤍🤍🤍

[@ThandiweNgema-lu1ds]

Thank you for the message ❤

[@nonku_mgwili]

As we grow in spirit and understanding the word of God asking Him to guide our hearts and minds ,we turn to asks ourselves B4 making any decisions that will this glorify God?

Thank you Bonge, Yah is raising a remnant indeed. Those who shall worship Him in spirit and in truth. My sister sent me this video and she shared Romans 6 as the scripture she was led to after listening to you, after listening I see the alignment as well. All glory and honour be unto Yahuah! The creator of Heaven and earth! May you continue to grow and may you continue to learn from the Holy Spirit. I pray that you continue to be His vessel. May He be glorified through you! HalleluaYah HalleluaYah

Let's watch out for idols, very sneaky things you might not even notice. The Holy Spirit has been trying to send me this message but I always shut it down saying I Love God above everything but trust my actions were showing more dedication to other things and people than God. Yooohhh ha.a 😭 Lord thank you for bringing the message to me before its too late for me to change. Thank you so much for not giving up on me ignoring the Holy Spirits cautions. Thank you so much for loving me even when I HAD idols in things and people. ❤ I Love you Daddy. I always will. ❤

Yeah tbh i have a relation with god and i saw You Glute video it was like ”2024; i was doning the wrong exercisers for 3 years ” or something like that. And that video took me away from the presence and peace of god, and then I saw 2 days later you had took it down , so I think it was Gods protection for us me and everyone else who been hurted by that video, because I struggle with eat anxiety and body anxiety and complexity so he showed you that these videos is not for peoples good. It’s just hurting ❤ you are wise, keep follow Gods voice, he is with you.

I was with the message till I went on your IG page. Still see the same scrunch shorts and nakedness you’re condemning. Its a tough one, hard to follow through with convictions if the world applauds the stuff you’re running away from.

[@amandafumba6245]

I hear your point, but it’s important to remember that growth and change don’t happen overnight. The journey of transformation is a process, and no one gets it perfect right away. Sharing experiences, even while still working through personal struggles, doesn’t mean someone is being hypocritical. It shows they’re human. Let’s give grace, understanding that we’re all learning and trying in our own ways
