Team Reflections

Our team resonated deeply with many elements of Supersized Lies. One member, after reading, initiated a new running routine inspired by the author’s encouragement to find joy in movement rather than viewing it as punishment. Another shared how a specific verse, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31), became a mantra during workouts, reinforcing the purpose behind physical discipline. A powerful quote that stuck with us was, "Discipline is not a burden but a privilege," awakening a group conviction about confronting our physical apathy.
