“Getting your health on track is a life-changing commitment.

When you have your body under control, you are free to pursue God’s plans for you, unburdened by the very thing that drags so many people down into an average, mundane existence.

It’s hard to get excited about the future when you don’t feel well; it’s not easy to shine the light of the gospel when you’re struggling to get through each day. But if you will commit to making your health a priority and then follow that commitment up with simple lifestyle changes, you can transform your health and revolutionize your ability to interact in the world in a way that brings glory to God.

The first step is to surrender your body to the one who created it.”

– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson
