OK… not Rick himself… but the members of Saddleback Church collectively have lost more than a quarter of a million pounds since starting their church-wide Daniel Plan last year.
Rick himself has lost over 50 pounds.
Way to go.
The real story here is the amount of influence each of us has. Without Rick’s leadership and modeling, this would have never happened.
What do you need to model to your congregation? What HUGE effect could your leadership have in the lives of your church and their families?
Leaders in the church should, indeed, seek to have more influence than authority. Rick does, in fact, model that well for us, I think.
