This is an interesting article in terms of evangelization using food and exercise, and a dash of TOB!
A few excerpts from his blog article...
"We Christians must learn, once again, to put flesh and experience on our
message. Pope Francis’ whole modus operandi is to go out beyond our
comfortable limits and bring Christ to the disenfranchised, the lost and
the forsaken. While we may not be asking others to adhere to strict dietary law, we
can also present a way of life that can change and enhance the
practitioner, much more than any diet or exercise routine."
" Your body speaks a language. What language are we speaking as the body
of Christ if we live in the cyclical danger of mental preparedness but
never physically go out and bring others into our mission? Can those who
you bring into your life tangibly see the virtues you profess?"
