How Obesity is the Silent Enemy of the Church with Mark Mason

Is obesity the silent enemy of the church? According to many doctors, we are fighting an epidemic and it's slowly killing us. The problem is we don't recognize that the enemy is on our plates.

Check out these facts about obesity:

More than 2 in 3 adults are considered to be overweight or obese according to a National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2010.
The Center for Disease Controls projects that 42 percent of Americans will be obese by 2030

While you may not be overweight or fear this for yourself, obesity is crippling the church. I have personally felt its increasing effects over the last decade. What woke me up and caused me to take notice is a book by Dr. Michael Brown called Breaking the Stronghold of Food. In there he explores how we become addicted to food, how that steals our joy and life, and can ultimately kill us.

In this episode of Man in the Pew, Mark Mason, an engineer by day and founder of Late Night Internet Marketing by night, shares his own personal journey with food and how his doctor provided him just the wake-up call he needed.
