In this interview, Pastor Brito interviews Pastor Bill Smith. Bill shares his story from fat Eglon to a fit servant for his king. This may not be the most appetizing conversation to have, but one that pastors (and parishioners) need to have.

The pastoral profession produces portly pastors on their way to an early death. With emotional and physical demands placed on ministers on any given day, pastors are called to make their bodies a living sacrifice unto God for the sake of their congregations. I hope this episode will land in as many pastor’s smartphones as possible. They need to hear it. God cares about our bodies and it’s about time we begin caring for it.
