If this is your goal, you’re going to need a strong foundation of Core Values that will shape your life as a Christian Woman.
I’ve been striving to grow spiritually as a woman ever since I first received the gospel at 15. I know what it’s like to be so emotionally led and allow my temporary feelings to completely take over me.
But there came a point when I was so fed up with living a life of constant extreme Highs and extreme Lows. So I read the Word, did some research, and I prayed for God to show me how to truly be grounded in His Truth!
And over a long course of time, He revealed to me these 12 Core Values that have strengthened my foundation in Christ and have shaped me into a more purpose-driven Woman of God; which I will be sharing with you here!
So, if you’re ready to press into true Biblical womanhood, stop living by your emotions, and become grounded in the Truth, you’re in the perfect place! This is your first step into becoming the Woman that God desires for you to be!
How Defining My Core Values Strengthened My Faith as a Christian
When I first began my walk with the Lord, I became very passionate and dedicated to my faith, with pure joy like never before!
But as soon as any wave of destruction hit, I couldn’t help but feel like it was the end of the world for me! I always felt extremely distressed and hardly knew how to press into my faith in the midst of chaos.
Like any baby Christian, I went on like this for many years, and I wondered why I always found myself stuck in a cycle of extreme Highs and extreme Lows, constantly being swayed by my emotions.
I knew I needed something to ground me; something to keep me standing strong on my foundation in the Lord.
That’s when I realized I didn’t have a strong enough foundation in the Word!
I needed Truth! To set me free from being a slave to my emotions.
It came time for another major turning point in my life! It was time for me to strengthen my foundation in Christ and finally stand strong on His Truth!
So I began reading my Bible like never before! I spoke with mentors and researched and prayed that God would reveal to me His Truth and help me define a set of Core Values that would keep me grounded as a Woman of Christ!
Over the years, God blessed me with a solid set of 12 primary qualities of a Woman of God. I began to commit myself to implementing these Core Values to my everyday life until it began transforming me from the inside-out!
My life became 100 percent more fruitful and fulfilling as God began to renew my mind with His Word and pierce my heart with His Truth!
I stopped reacting by my emotions and started responding in faith through every situation!
And I want this for you too! I want you to experience the transformative work of Christ within your heart as well! So this is why I am sharing with you the 12 Core Values of a True Woman of God!
THE 12 CORE VALUES YOU NEED TO BE A TRUE WOMAN OF GOD
1. She Values Her Intimacy With the Lord
Any Christian must know the fuel of your fire comes from the time and effort you put into the secret place with the Lord! A true Woman of God prioritizes her time alone in prayer and even in silence to hear from God. This is her main source of sustainability in life because she knows that she is nothing without God.
She values her intimacy with the Lord because it is the foundation of her faith, identity, and purpose. A deep relationship with God brings her peace, strength, and guidance in every aspect of her life. In a world full of distractions, trials, and uncertainties, drawing near to God allows her to experience His love, wisdom, and presence in a personal way.
Through prayer, worship, and studying His Word, she develops a deeper understanding of His character and His plans for her life. This connection not only sustains her in difficult times but also fills her with joy and contentment, knowing that she is deeply loved and valued by her Creator!
2. She Applies the Gospel to Her Everyday Life
Only the realest Christians know the importance of applying the gospel to their everyday life! Christ’s sacrifice on the cross put to death all of the sins you ever had and ever will commit! Daily remembrance of the redemption you have through Christ will completely change the perspective you have on life!
A Christian woman should apply the gospel to her everyday life because it shapes her mindset, actions, and relationships according to God’s truth! She is able to live out her true identity as a Woman of God because she is constantly reflecting on how Christ has redeemed her life!
The gospel is not just a message of salvation but a way of life that transforms her heart and renews her mind everyday! By embracing the grace, love, and forgiveness found in Christ, she can navigate daily challenges with faith and wisdom!

3. She is Biblically Grounded and Recites Scripture in Her Everyday Speech
A True Woman of God knows that the Bible is the ultimately God’s Word and bases all of her beliefs purely on Scripture. She knows there is power in every verse and memorizes scripture until it is written on her heart, empowering her through the Holy Spirit in her everyday speech!
A Christian woman is biblically grounded because God’s Word is her ultimate source of truth, wisdom, and guidance in her everyday life. In a world filled with conflicting messages and shifting values, knowing the Truth of scripture helps her stand firm in her faith and make godly decisions that are not based on her emotions.
Her understanding of the power of God’s Word enables her to use it as a sword against the enemy! Reciting scripture daily strengthens her against doubt, fear, and temptations, and equips her to be ready to encourage other’s who need to hear from God’s Truth as well!
She knows very well that "death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:21), meaning her words carry influence! When she fills her speech with Scripture, she spreads truth, builds up others in faith, and glorifies God in all she does.
4. She is in Constant Surrender to God
The Christian life comes with constant dependency and trust in the Lord. In order to have a healthy Christian walk you must understand that you can never truly trust in yourself, but need God’s intervention through everything!
A Woman of God is in constant surrender to God throughout her daily life. She upholds the Lord in every aspect of her being, and knows that only He can solve the problems that she comes across. Only He can fulfill her soul. Only He can bring light in the darkness. Only He can give her complete security. Only He can overcome every doubt, every sin, and temptation!
She has discovered that true peace and fulfillment come from yielding to His perfect will. So she’s made it a habit to surrender to Him in everything. Surrendering to God means trusting Him completely with every aspect of her life—her dreams, struggles, relationships, and decisions. Instead of relying on her own strength or understanding, she acknowledges that God’s plans are higher and better than hers.
This surrender allows her to experience His peace, even in uncertainty, because she knows He is in control! As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds her, she can trust in the Lord with all her heart and lean not on her own understanding, confident that He will direct her path.
5. She is Aware of Her Weaknesses and is Eager to Repent of Her Sins
A Woman of God can only surrender to God when she is entirely aware of her depravity as a mere human being. She does not let herself forget that she has been a sinner from birth . . . so she can constantly be reminded of Christ who has forgiven her of all of her sins! This keeps her in a fresh mindset of WHO GOD IS and WHO GOD HAS MADE HER TO BE.
When she examines herself it allows her to recognize her weaknesses and then depend on God’s strength rather than her own, drawing her closer to Him! When she acknowledges her struggles—whether it be pride, impatience, fear, or any sin—she creates space for God to refine her and make her more like Christ!
She embraces the Truth that “God’s power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9)! When she surrenders her flaws to Him, He works in and through her in ways she never could on her own. This awareness keeps her from becoming self-righteous and instead only looks to Christ to be her righteousness and salvation!
Her eagerness to repent of her sins leads her restoration and a deeper relationship with God! She knows that sin creates distance between her and the Lord, but when she turns away from it, she experiences His grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Rather than seeing repentance as a burden, she embraces it as a gift!

6. She is Dependent on God Daily
As soon as a woman stops trying in her own strength and seeks God’s instead, she will begin to see God’s provision in her life. She will witness God’s faithfulness first-hand and become a testimony to Him! A true Woman of God is fully dependent on Him for everything. She knows that He is her provider, and she openly submits to His leadership over her life.
She has finally let go of trying to be in control of every little thing and lives in constant prayer that God will provide all of her needs each day. Her only strive is to abide in Christ through everything because in John 15:5, Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” So she declares Christ as her sole provider and relies on Him for every physical, emotional, and spiritual need everyday!
7. She Seeks After God’s Own Heart
A True Woman of the Lord is so captivated by God’s love for humanity that she makes knowing Him her deepest desire. Nothing else in this world enlightens her like the Christ’s love! She seeks to know Him on a more personal level as she reads His Word and talks to Him daily through prayer. Whenever she is alone, she doesn’t feel alone because she is so aware of God’s presence within her and all around her.
Her greatest desire is to know Him deeply and to align her life with His will. She understands that true fulfillment is not found in worldly achievements, relationships, or personal ambitions but in an intimate relationship with her Creator. Seeking God’s heart means pursuing His character—His love, mercy, righteousness, and wisdom—and allowing His Spirit to transform her from the inside out!
Just as King David is called “a man after God’s own heart” in Acts 13:22 because of his devotion and repentance, she, too, strives to love and obey God wholeheartedly!
8. She Has Sacrificial Love For God and For People
When A Woman of God shows love to someone around her, it never comes off in-genuine. She knows that love comes from God and that He is the embodiment of love itself. Because she has experienced God’s own sacrificial love for her and embraces it everyday, she seeks opportunities to show that same love to those around her. She is eager to ask God how to love each specific person in her life because she acknowledges that she wouldn’t know how to love if it weren’t for Him.
This kind of love is not based on feelings or convenience but is a deliberate choice to put God and others above herself. Sacrificial love means surrendering her own desires, comfort, and even pride to serve and honor God.
She loves not only those who are easy to love but also those who are difficult, extending grace, patience, and forgiveness even when it’s challenging. Just as Jesus laid down His life for others, she willingly sacrifices her time, resources, and efforts to care for and uplift those around her. Whether through acts of kindness, serving the needy, or simply offering a listening ear, she embodies the love of Christ in practical ways.

9. She is a Faithful Steward of All that God Gives Her
A real Christian woman is faithful with all that God gives her because she recognizes that everything she has— including her time, money, and spiritual gifts—all belong to God. She understands that she is merely a caretaker of these blessings and is called to use them wisely for His purpose! Whether it’s budgeting her finances responsibly, dedicating time to prayer and serving others, or using her talents for God’s kingdom, she embraces stewardship as an act of worship to God!
She discerns and invests into what has eternal value rather than temporary pleasures. She makes sure to prioritize her time by always putting God first in everything! She budgets her money and gives generously, knowing that her financial blessings are meant to support God’s work and help those in need. Additionally, she nurtures and shares her spiritual gifts, so that others may grow in their faith. By managing her life with a kingdom mindset, she not only experiences God’s provision and faithfulness but also leaves a lasting impact, glorifying Him in all that she does!
10. She Values Fellowship With Family and Friends
Like any believer should, she does not overlook quality time with those closest to her. She does not isolate herself but enjoys each moment with her family and friends. She knows very well that she is not meant to walk through life alone but to build meaningful connections that strengthen her faith and bring joy. By having close connections with those around her, she is able to open up about her struggles and create a space for others to open up as well. As the leader she is, she never hesitates to offer prayer to someone.
She invests into her family and friendships through having meaningful conversations, sharing meals, and serving them. She seeks to build relationships rooted in faith and genuine care. She understands that true fellowship goes beyond surface-level interactions and is will to be there for people when they need her. Yet at the same time, she sets up boundaries and does not allow people to walk all over her.
11. She is a Passionate Worker For the Harvest
This girl gets a kick out of sharing her faith! She passionately evangelizes to those around her no matter where she is! She is fueled by the love of God and views every person as a lost soul who is seeking something greater. Because she knows the Good News, she makes sure to share it with everyone!
Jesus calls His followers to be laborers in His harvest, and says, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37). She eagerly takes part in spreading His truth and faithfully works to bring others into God’s kingdom! Her passion for the harvest is not driven by obligation but by a deep love for God and for people, knowing that every soul matters to Him.
Her drive to share the gospel shapes the way she lives her daily life! She sees every opportunity—whether in her workplace, home, or community—as a chance to reflect Christ’s love. Even when faced with challenges or discouragement, she remains steadfast, trusting that God is using her efforts to bear fruit in His perfect timing. A true Christian woman embraces her role as a laborer in God’s harvest, knowing that her greatest reward is seeing lives transformed by God!
12. She Understands What it Means to Truly Receive Rest in Christ Jesus
A true Woman of God knows how to let go. She doesn’t hold onto anything out of her reach because she knows it will ware her out. She embraces true rest I the Lord by reminding herself that she is in the palm of God’s hand. She knows that real peace and renewal come not from the world but from Christ alone.
In a fast-paced, demanding society that glorifies busyness and self-reliance, she chooses to trust in what Jesus said to her, "Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). She knows that physical rest is very important, and that true spiritual rest is found in surrendering her worries, fears, and burdens to God. Rather than being consumed by stress or trying to control everything on her own, she abides in Christ, allowing His presence to restore her soul.
Instead of striving for perfection or seeking validation from others, she finds her worth and identity solely in Christ. She Rests in the Truths of His Word. She Rests in the forgiveness of her sins and does not let her guilt weigh her down too long. She learns to let go of anxiety, trusting that God’s plans are greater than her own.
