Challenging and equipping Christian women to raise the standard on the culture by living out the Word of God in every area of life.

Welcome to

Strength & Dignity Life!

Strength & Dignity Life is a ministry dedicated to raising up revolutionary women leaders—equipping them with resources, encouragement, and community to impact the church, the culture, and the world.

Founded by Apryl Ortiz—a Mexican-American speaker, podcaster, and stylist who brings real talk in both English and Spanglish—this ministry challenges women to live boldly for God and to raise the standard in every area of life. Apryl’s down-to-earth style, passion for Scripture, and mix of “homegirl energy” with powerhouse teaching make her the face of Strength & Dignity Life.

"When Apryl speaks, you immediately feel seen and understood. Her authenticity and honest conversations create an environment of trust and transparency. She so clearly loves Jesus, His Word, and His people. Apryl’s voice challenges women to go deeper with Christ and walk more closely with Him. I’m blessed every time I hear her speak."

Katy McCown / President of She Laughs Ministries
“One of the things that truly stand out about Apryl Ortiz is her ability to be very forthright when speaking about the issues that concern women today. In a society that puts an emphasis on sexuality, her message of purity, no matter the age, is both refreshing and honoring to our Lord Jesus. Apryl is also able to deliver the message that a women’s true value comes not from the world but from her loving Heavenly Father.”

Connie Gill / The Garden Fellowship
“Our culture is bombarded with immorality, opposing world views, and chaos. We need Christian leaders who do not compromise on Scripture and lead by example in what it means to follow Jesus. Apryl Ortiz is one of those Christian leaders who will energetically and unapologetically speak into the lives of our women for the glory of God.”

Sean Arviso Brawley Campus Pastor / Christ Community Church Brawley
"Apryl Ortiz is a dynamic speaker who draws you in with her energetic speaking style, humble yet challenging lessons, and passionate love for Jesus that literally oozes out of her pours! Apryl has the desire to teach and instill the love of Christ into the lives of young women, and have them fully experience the true meaning of grace, mercy, forgiveness, hope and new life that can only come from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ."

Cami Sturdevant
“Amidst the voices of a culture with toxic advice for young women, Apryl Ortiz' is one this generation needs to hear. With over 15 years of youth ministry experience, she speaks frankly and passionately from a heart that understands young people. Apryl's down-to-earth style of communicating, her passion for sharing the love of Jesus and her commitment to helping girls make healthy life choices, make her a powerful voice in the confusing space between faith and fashion where young ladies find themselves.”
