Dr. Michael Jones, an obesity medicine physician in Virginia, spoke to me about obesity and the Christian life. This is one topic you will not hear pastors or Christian leaders raise. For example, Crossway has no books on obesity but the publishers does have books on all types of other addictions & diseases. Being overweight should not be reduced to gluttony, although it is pretty sad to see churches boasting about their gluttonous community events (lots of men's events do this). Being overweight can range from poorly managing discomfort, stress, anxiety, etc. to lacking education about what to eat or not eat. Christian bear witness to the truth of Christianity by how we talk care of our bodies and this discussion is long overdue.
