You know her when you see her on Pinterest.
She’s up at 6am with her Bible and coffee. Her space is aesthetic but intentional. She’s glowing from the inside out. She’s ambitious but grounded. Feminine but strong. Living her dream life while keeping God first.
That Christian girl energy isn’t just about the aesthetic (though let’s be real, the cozy morning devotionals and pretty journals don’t hurt).
It’s about building a life that honors God while actually becoming the woman He created you to be.
And bestie, if you’ve been saving “that Christian girl” pins but feeling far from living it? You’re in exactly the right place.

What Does “That Christian Girl” Actually Mean?
Let’s get clear on what we’re talking about, because “that Christian girl” isn’t about perfection or performance.
She’s the woman who:
- Puts God first in her decisions, routines, and ambitions
- Lives intentionally with purpose and discipline
- Honors her body as a temple through wellness and self-care
- Pursues her calling with faith and strategic action
- Creates beauty in her spaces, routines, and relationships
- Stays grounded in Scripture while chasing big dreams
She’s not waiting for her life to start “someday.” She’s stewarding what God has given her right now – her time, her talents, her season – with excellence and faith.
That Christian girl knows her identity is in Christ first, but she also knows God created her for MORE than just surviving.
And that’s exactly the energy we’re stepping into this year.
How to Become That Christian Girl: Your Faith-Centered Glow Up
Step 1: Anchor Your Morning in God First
The foundation of that Christian girl lifestyle? God gets your first and best, not your leftovers.
Your morning sets the tone for everything. Before you check your phone, before you scroll, before you dive into your to-do list – you need to anchor yourself in Him.
That Christian Girl Morning Routine:
6:00am – Wake Up with Purpose
- No snooze button (discipline honors God)
- Make your bed immediately (start with one win)
- Open your curtains and let light in
6:10am – Coffee + Bible Time
- Brew your favorite coffee or matcha
- Open your Bible before anything else
- Use a devotional or reading plan (YouVersion, She Reads Truth)
- Journal what God is speaking to you
6:30am – Worship + Prayer
- Play worship music while you get ready
- Pray over your day and surrender your plans
- Speak identity scriptures over yourself
6:45am – Move Your Body
- Pilates, yoga, walk, or workout
- Honor the temple God gave you
- Use this time to pray or listen to sermons
The order matters, bestie. When you fill yourself with God’s truth first, everything else flows from overflow instead of striving.
Step 2: Create Spaces That Reflect Kingdom Values
Your environment shapes your spiritual life. That Christian girl doesn’t just have aesthetic spaces – she has intentional spaces that draw her closer to God.
Devotional Corner Setup:
- Cozy chair by a window with good light
- Beautiful Bible (invest in one you love opening)
- Quality journal and pens for processing
- Candle for creating sacred atmosphere
- Basket with devotionals and study materials
Kitchen as Ministry Space:
- Stock nourishing foods (your body is a temple)
- Create a coffee/tea station that makes mornings special
- Meal prep with worship music playing
- Make hospitality and gathering a priority
Bedroom as Rest Sanctuary:
- Keep it clutter-free (clear space, clear mind)
- Invest in quality bedding (rest is spiritual)
- No phone charging in bedroom
- Scriptures on the wall or nightstand
Budget-Friendly Christian Girl Aesthetic:
- Print free Bible verse art from Etsy or Canva
- Thrift beautiful glassware for your morning routine
- Use what you have more intentionally
- Focus on simplicity over excess
Remember: Aesthetic spaces aren’t about Instagram – they’re about creating environments where you can hear God clearly.
Step 3: Build Discipline Through Faith-Based Identity
Here’s what nobody talks about: That Christian girl isn’t more disciplined because she has more willpower. She’s disciplined because her identity is rooted in Christ.
When you know who you are in Him, the actions flow naturally.
Identity Scriptures to Anchor Your Glow Up:
- “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14)
- “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)
- “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10)
- “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and laughs without fear of the future” (Proverbs 31:25)
How to Build God-Honoring Discipline:
Morning: Speak your identity in Christ before checking phone Throughout Day: Ask “Does this honor God and the calling He’s placed on my life?” Evening: Reflect on how you stewarded your day with excellence Weekly: Sabbath rest (non-negotiable for that Christian girl)
The secret? You’re not forcing yourself to change. You’re becoming who God already says you are.

Step 4: Pursue Your God-Given Dreams with Strategy
That Christian girl doesn’t just pray and hope. She prays, plans, and takes faith-filled action.
God gave you those dreams for a reason. The desire to glow up, to build something beautiful, to live with intention – that’s not vanity. That’s stewardship of what He’s placed in you.
Faith-Based Goal Setting:
Start with Prayer: “God, what do You want me to focus on this season?”
Get Specific: Vague prayers get vague results. Get detailed.
- Not “be healthier” → “Honor my temple by moving 3x/week and meal prepping Sundays”
- Not “grow spiritually” → “Complete Bible reading plan and join small group”
- Not “be more organized” → “Create morning and evening routines that center God”
Create Your 90-Day Faith Plan:
- Spiritual Goals: Bible reading, prayer time, community
- Physical Goals: Wellness habits that honor your body as a temple
- Purpose Goals: Steps toward your calling and dreams
- Relational Goals: Community, service, hospitality
Take Action Like It Depends on You, Pray Like It Depends on God:
That Christian girl doesn’t sit around waiting for miracles while doing nothing. She works diligently and trusts God with the results.
Daily Action Steps:
- Morning: One thing toward your biggest God-given goal
- Midday: Check in – am I staying aligned with His plan?
- Evening: Reflect and adjust tomorrow’s priorities
Step 5: Stay in Community and Service
You cannot become that Christian girl in isolation. You need community, accountability, and opportunities to serve.
Finding Your People:
- Join a local church and actually get involved
- Find or create a small group of like-minded women
- Follow Christian content creators who inspire your faith
- Attend women’s conferences and events
- Create accountability partnerships
That Christian Girl Serves:
- Volunteer at church regularly
- Use your gifts to bless others
- Practice hospitality (it’s Biblical!)
- Mentor younger women in faith
- Give generously of time, talents, and resources
The Pinterest version of that Christian girl looks perfect and peaceful. The real version? She’s in the trenches serving, showing up for community, and using her glow up to glorify God and bless others.
Step 6: Guard Your Heart and Mind Daily
In a world of constant noise, that Christian girl is intentional about what she allows into her mind and spirit.
Digital Boundaries:
- Unfollow accounts that don’t align with your faith
- Curate a feed that points you to Jesus
- Set screen time limits (your time is a gift from God)
- No scrolling first thing in morning or before bed
- Use social media to encourage, not compare
What You Consume Matters:
- Music: Worship and faith-based content
- Podcasts: Christian teachers and encouraging content
- Books: Bible first, then faith-building books
- TV/Movies: Ask “Does this honor God?”
- Friendships: Iron sharpens iron
Proverbs 4:23 says: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
That Christian girl knows that her aesthetic morning routine means nothing if her heart isn’t protected and her mind isn’t renewed in Christ daily.
