WEIGHTING ON GOD COURSE
‘Weighting on God’is afaith-based approach to having a healthy lifestyle and achieving sustainable weight loss. The course takes biblical principles, which are foundational to our Christian walk, and then applies them to our whole relationship with food and eating. Before we can see outward changes, we need to be inwardly transformed: our thoughts need to be renewed, our emotional wounds healed, and our wills fully submitted to the Lord.
This is made gloriously possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, who works within us both to will (influencing our desires) and to do (enabling us to make godly choices) of His good pleasure.(Philippians 2:13)
The book, ‘Weighting on God’ by Sue Prosser, is the main resource, and this can be used with or without the accompanying resources. However, to gain maximum benefit from the teaching, we highly recommend you subscribe to the full course.

Ruth:‘I am amazed at the freedom I have been given
I have now completed the 12 weeks of the course and have found it a real help from the diet side of things, as well as a real blessing spiritually. I believe that I have been relearning to place my self-worth and security in God and not to rely on myself when it comes to matters of food. I am amazed at the freedom I have been given when it comes to eating
