Wasseem writes, "The Setting Captives Free Weight Loss course was eye-opening from the very first lesson. The lessons were great reminders of why Jesus went to the Cross and how, through Christ, all things are possible. The physical changes I have experienced were also incredible. I weighed myself once about a week ago, and I was down 25 pounds! The main thing that has genuinely astounded me is that our bodies naturally know when to eat - those hunger pangs!"

Jen writes, "The principles in the Setting Captives Free Weight Loss course describe entirely the way I want to live in all areas of my life, not just in the way I want to eat! Spiritually, I am a different person since I started this course. I can genuinely say I am closer to the Lord than I have ever been in my life. Physically, I am different too. I feel like the hold that food had on me has finally been broken. I don't desire to eat the way I used to. It has finally become merely a way to fuel my body or a brief enjoyment but not the reason for my existence any longer! Jesus has replaced that in my life, and I pray I will continue to live like this for the rest of my life!"

Salvation

Hello and welcome to the Setting Captives Free Weight Loss course. My name is Mike Cleveland, and I will be walking with you as we study together, learn together and worship together.

Just a little background: I have struggled with my weight my whole life; it was like riding an elevator up and down but never being able to get off at the right place. But finally, as I’m writing this to you, I’m at my ideal weight and maintaining.

In this course, I will share with you what God has taught me about weight loss, which can be summed up in this phrase: “applying the gospel of Jesus Christ.” The gospel changes our hearts and desires, which then enables changes in our actions and habits. It’s an “inside-out” change! 

The gospel is not a diet, doesn’t require us to change by self-effort and is not focused on what you eat, calories in/calories out or weighing on a scale. 

Rather, the gospel does its work in our hearts which provides spiritual power. "Now to Him who is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us"  (Ephesians 3:20 AMP). Having this power of God applied to our eating is truly wonderful.
