Losing To Live

Don’t lose momentum just because the month is moving forward.
Strong finishes come from daily obedience, not big bursts of effort.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”

Week 2 | LOSING TO LIVE – Bod4God 12-Week Team Weight Loss Challenge

Week two challenges us to embrace a powerful biblical truth: to lose is to live.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 16:24–25 that following Him requires self-denial—not as punishment, but as a pathway to true life. In Bod4God, this principle applies directly to our health. We are not chasing a quick fix or a temporary result. We are building a lifestyle of stewardship, discipline, and obedience that honors God with our bodies.

This week, we take an honest look at our eating and exercise habits and ask a deeper question: Am I willing to let go of what is comfortable in order to gain what is life-giving?

Your Week 2 Focus & Action Steps:

Remember, this journey is not about perfection—it is about faithful progress. When we surrender unhealthy patterns, we gain strength, clarity, energy, and a deeper ability to serve the Lord.

Let’s lose what holds us back—so we can truly live.

PATRICK COFFEY HAS LOST 235 lbs on Bod4God! Listen to Patricks Story! God works in mysterious and wonderful ways! The picture on the left is me at age 39, in June 2015. The picture on the right is me, at age 49, in August 2025. As I look at these two pictures I am in total awe of how much my life has changed for the better in the 10 years that has passed between the taking of these two photos. My life has changed in ways that I never thought was possible without spending huge amounts of money I did not have on dangerous weight loss operations that might not have helped me at all but instead might have set me up for new, more dangerous health concerns. In 2015 I never thought I would be able to lose 20 lbs and keep it off let alone the over 200 lbs I have lost during that time and kept off but thanks to one key thing in my life I was finally able to find a way to do it in a healthy and positive manner. The key thing I am speaking of is GOD! God has looked out for me my entire life, even way back before I came to have a proper relationship with Him he has given me a wide variety of tools to use improve the various aspects of my life. One of the most valuable tools being my discovery of the BOD4GOD program. The BOD4GOD program is a christian based program that has helped me make long lasting healthy life choices while providing me with a wonderful support mechanism which is comprised of three kinds of support: inspirational support, biblical support, and, most importantly, group support. I have participated in the BOD4GOD program a number of times and each time I have found it to be a very spiritual, inspirational, and educational journey. I will always be grateful to God for inspiring GOD4BOD's creator, Pastor Steve Reynolds to develop this wonderful program who has given me and countless others a positive, christian way to improve the quality of our health and our lives in general. Thank you Lord for inspiring Pastor Steve to share his BOD4GOD with the masses and thank you Pastor Steve for your never ending positive encouragement that you share with those of us who turn to BOD4GOD when nothing else has worked for us. I also want to thank the Lord for letting me have the wonderful experience of being in multiple BOD4GOD classes that were taught by John Wood who is just as much of an inspiration in teaching and promoting the GOD4BOD plan for a healthy and spiritual lifestyle as is Pastor Steve. As I said at the beginning of this post, God works in mysterious and wonderful ways and the GOD4BOD program is proof of that.

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” – Isaiah 40:31
True strength comes from relying on Him, not pushing alone.

**Read, Comment, Be Inspired!** THE LORD WAS AT WORK — AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS FELT! - DAY ONE - BOD4GOD 12-Week Team Weight Loss Challenge

Day One was powerful—and deeply intentional.

This wasn’t just a conversation about weight loss. It was the beginning of a faith-filled journey marked by discipline, obedience, focus, and dedication. From the opening moments, the presence of the Lord was evident as hearts aligned around a shared desire to honor God with the bodies He created.

We grounded ourselves in Scripture with Colossians 1:16:
“For by Him all things were created… all things were created through Him and for Him.”
That truth set the foundation. Our health matters because our calling matters, and obedience in the small daily choices leads to lasting transformation.

Together, we learned how spiritual focus becomes practical action. We discussed meal preparation, bringing lunch instead of skipping meals, portion control, increasing protein, lowering unhealthy fats, and choosing foods that nourish the body—such as fermented foods that support digestion. Natural supports like apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and quality vitamins and supplements were shared as tools to support discipline, not replace it.

Movement was approached with freedom and joy, not pressure. Walking, swimming, dancing, yoga, and tai chi were all celebrated as ways to stay active while remaining consistent. We also addressed fasting as both a spiritual and physical discipline, the importance of hydration (even something as simple as adding lemon to water), and the critical role of good sleep habits in maintaining focus and energy.

Health was framed holistically and wisely. We emphasized accountability without shame, regular weigh-ins for awareness, and the importance of partnering with healthcare professionals. Seeing your doctor, listening to your body, and building a strong support team were reinforced as acts of stewardship and obedience.

Each night, more than 30 participants are showing up together—learning, praying, journaling, encouraging one another, and walking this journey with dedication and purpose. This is not a solo effort. It is team-based transformation rooted in faith, strengthened through discipline, and sustained by community.

If you are ready to pursue health with intention and obedience, we invite you to join us. Learn the BOD4GOD principles and step into a lifestyle that honors God—spirit, soul, and body.

This was only Day One.

The BOD4GOD journey has begun.

God doesn’t call us to be perfect—He calls us to be faithful.
Keep showing up. Growth often happens quietly.

Consistency beats intensity every time.
Simple habits practiced daily lead to lasting spiritual and physical health.

Faith shows up in everyday choices.
Even the simple things—how we eat, live, and care for ourselves—can be done in a way that honors God.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
