The Problem
01
The Calling
The calling on a pastor’s life to serve the Church lends itself to more easily developing unhealthy habits and serious metabolic health risks.
02
The Command
The command to glorify God in your body, finish the race with endurance and to protect and provide for your family is required of all believes.
03
The Challenge
For many pastors, investing in their health with both their time and money is challenging for a variety of reasons.
The Solution
01
Give Clarity
Lead Strong gives clarity to pastors seeking to discipline their bodies through proper fitness and nutrition to extend their health span to match their lifespan.
02
Foster Community
Lead Strong fosters community and accountability among pastors providing a forum to encourage and connect with one another as you invest in your health.
03
Coaching & Guidance
Lead Strong is effective and affordable fitness & nutrition coaching designed for busy pastors who have limited time and funds to invest.
Pastors are living the life of first responders
The three jobs that produce the highest stress levels are policemen, fire fighters and clergy — The hallmarks of all of these jobs are sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, poor diet and chronic stress. This puts pastors at the highest risk for chronic metabolic health issues.

01
Costly Medications
If you're not investing in prevention you will end up spending money on medication to relief symptoms. A far more costly path than prioritizing your health.
02
Sleep Disorders
Good sleep is medicine. When you don't get enough sleep and your sleep quality is poor it increases your risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.
03
Liver Disease
Stress impacts your liver and can cause swelling in the abdomen and legs, sever fatigue, muscle weakness and ultimately liver disease or other life-threatening complications.
04
Metabolic Disorder
An inactive lifestyle, poor diet and alcohol consumption can lead to the development of metabolic disorder. This increases the risk of diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure and obesity.
05
Insulin Resistence & Diabetes
Prolonged physical inactivity, a high sugar diet and stress lead to increased weight gain (obesity), insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar levels, as well as type 2 diabetes.
06
Cardiovascular Disease
High stress jobs can trigger shortness of breath, chest pains, swelling, stroke and heart attacks. These symptoms can lead to kidney and liver damage, and increase your risk of cancer
1 Corinthians 6: 19 & 20
”Or 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.”
