He joined RCIA and lost 50lbs... @Levi Machovec has lost 50 pounds after taking his fitness seriously last year 😎 He ALSO joined RCIA, and became Catholic on Easter Levi had gotten up to 210 pounds, and hated the way he felt. He said he felt fat, he hated his body, and he had to wake up every day KNOWING he hated his body.He tried severely cutting calories…but at the end of the day, nothing was working. Finally, Levi came to me and asked for help 🙏 I told him "the reason you're not losing weight is because you're not eating enough. He actually had to eat MORE food, and more whole, healthy meals to lose weight. So we got to work 💪I had him eat 5 meals a day and 2300 calories. I also put him on a workout regimen.But the biggest thing we changed was his mindset, I made it a non-negotiable for him to remind himself that it's selfish to not practice what you preach. I reminded him that people are less likely to listen to us about our worldview if we're out of shape, and so it serves others if we are fit since we can be more influential in sharing the Word.Levi is now under 160 and has lost 50 POUNDS, and feels better than ever 💯 Drop some "🔥" in the comments to celebrate @Levi Machovec and his transformation 😎

Yet despite their harsh tone, I've become increasingly more convicted of them the longer I think about these words...." Read the rest of my blog here: Have We Lost Our Passion?
