The following week I had a chance to meet with Bishop for an update on his progress. He has lost over 30 pounds since beginning his healthy lifestyle journey in June. Amid his pastoring in two locations, attending numerous meetings, counseling church members, taking care of his family, he understands the importance of carving out time for his health. He has put a support team in action – his wife is his daily fitness partner and his congregation is cheering him on! The support helps you do things better – it is easier to stay focused and be accountable as you strive for your goals. It takes a team to win and be successful in everything you do!
The Bishop is excited about his new-found and increasing energy. “I love God, myself, my family, and my congregation. My body is the temple of the Lord and I need to take care of myself.” He said, “I want to see us grow and mature together and do what God wants us to do.”
Bishop Futch and members from St. Joseph Tabernacle Church plan to be at the Tuesday, August 13 walk in Grand Ledge. They are looking forward to meeting new friends in the community and working together to achieve healthier lifestyles.
