lifting Truth that moves mountains
Welcome
I’m Nick Hill.
I’ve failed hard, lifted heavy, and found redemption in the mess. This space was built for people like you—people carrying weight the world can’t see, pushing through pain, searching for something real.
Here, I share what I’ve learned from a life of early addiction, recovery, faith, and powerlifting. Not because I have all the answers, but because I’ve met the One who does.
If you’re hungry for truth, tired of pretending, and ready to grow stronger—spiritually, mentally, physically—you’re in the right place.
Let’s train. Let’s talk truth. Let’s go.
“We can only descend into true greatness, placing ourselves in the vulnerable position of self-sacrifice again and again, often without notice or reward, to practice true love for others.”

From an abandoned child to a 2023 World Powerlifting Champion, Nick Hill knows that physical strength isn’t enough to carry life’s heaviest burdens. After facing his own inner demons, Nick discovered the only weight that matters: The Truth of Jesus Christ. This book is a guide to lifting God’s truth to overcome worldly opposition and find ultimate hope.
My Why
Lifting the Weight of Truth is built on Spirit-led training—of the body, mind, and soul.
Faith isn’t instant. Just like strength, it’s developed over time. Whether you were born into a Christian family or found Jesus later, none of us figure it all out overnight. The Holy Spirit works uniquely in each of us, shaping our faith through personal struggle, grit, and grace.
This isn’t about vague spirituality or self-help. It’s about real faith—born of the Spirit, grounded in Jesus, and aligned with His Word.
Just like I love to spot new lifters in the gym, I’m learning to spot those new to faith—full of energy, a little unsure, and needing someone to walk alongside them. Let’s offer each other grace and the kind of help that flows from the Spirit—not just our daily opinions—but strength grounded in God’s timeless truth.
That’s what this space is for: honest encouragement, Spirit-led counsel, and a reminder that it’s okay to grow at your own pace. You never know when that kind of encouragement will become real friendship and fresh life in Christ. Join the Lifting Higher Community and let’s start talking!
God turns pain into purpose and restores what was lost
training & Truth
Training and Truth is my blog where faith, life, and the lessons of the weight room come together. I get real on personal growth, faith reflections, and the kind of strength that goes far beyond the gym.
Most posts come from a Christ-centered perspective, but I speak plainly and practically with no sermons or soapboxes. Whether you're firm in your faith or still figuring things out, there's something here for you.
Because getting stronger, in every sense of the word, is better when you don't do it alone.

Do you feel a spiritual battle raging in your heart? Are you heavy with guilt and shame? Are you losing more of your God-given potential each day? Are you aware that you were made for something lasting?
There are serious needs when someone has dabbled in drugs and/or become an addict. But there are equally serious answers and life-changing solutions. Do you want a more full and rich life than you can imagine now? How about a New Life that beats and transcends death?
If any of these questions resonate with you, please reach out. As a recovering addict myself, I would love to connect and offer support. I am not a licensed counselor, but am available for one-on-one friendship and mentoring. Learn more here.
