“If it's coming in trying to just ‘I'm going to do a diet,’ it's not going to last. So the people that are the ones that we've seen be really successful are the people that actually had a shift happen up here in their mindset.”
“I changed my eating habits. I gave myself big goals, which for me was doing competitions. I needed something big enough to really put the pressure on me to change the bad habits and, you know, it opened up all these other doors.”
"When you lead with giving and you show that you're not afraid to give if wherever God calls you to give, you can do it knowing that he will pour back abundantly on you.”
