About Lighting The Weigh

What we do

As a Biblical wellness ministry, we offer health coaching programs and fitness classes that help participants grow in their relationship with Christ first and improve their health from chronic disease second.

Offering guidance, hope, and support to improve participants’ health and well-being that enables stronger, more vibrant vessels to love God, themselves, and others that much better.

Common outcomes for participants include:

  • Exhibiting greater joy through their relationship with Christ
  • Feeling better physically
  • Having more energy
  • Having greater peace and confidence

Services are based Christian principles, health coaching best practice, and evidence-based lifestyle medicine research.

What we believe

  • God loves you right now just as you are.
  • Your body weight and health status are not indicators of your faith in Jesus Christ or God’s love for you.
  • A greater focus on faith in Jesus Christ and evidence-based lifestyle medicine principles enables you to develop your plan of success that is unique to you.
    As the great Blaise Pascal said, “People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come into the mind of others.”
  • When you rest in God’s unconditional and ever-abundant love, which is bigger than any problem you face, you have a greater ability to improve your health and well-being for the long haul.

Your body glorifies God

  • Stewardship of God’s vessel, (your body and mind) glorifies God through an enhanced ability to love others by possessing greater hope, improved health from chronic disease, greater confidence, and greater joy.
  • You are somebody in Christ.
  • You, your health, and quality of life matter to God and his will for your life.
  • Your daily habits are within your control to improve your well-being and get back to doing activities you love to do one small habit change at a time.
  • Through relationship with Jesus Christ, His word, expectant prayer, and habit change science, long-term wellness is achieved.

Vision

Our history

After working with hundreds of people who struggle to lose weight and feel better and through my own weight management struggles, I understand what it’s like to feel helpless to change what makes so many folks miserable.

Even more important, I understand what works to be successful creating a healthy relationship with ourselves to improve our health and well-being. It begins with a relationship with Christ followed by small, daily, habit change.

I want to empower you to find your long-term, wellness solution to love God, yourself, and others better.
