Could the Church Be the Catalyst for a Healthier Nation?

I believe the Church may hold the key to reversing so many of the problems we’re facing in the United States—and I say that not just from hope, but from experience. Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to speak at the Joseph Business School (JBS) in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of Bill Winston Ministries, and what I saw there deeply moved me.

To describe what I witnessed is nearly impossible to put into words. But I can share the foundation of what I experienced—and what I believe is possible when it comes to helping communities get healthier and stronger.

This ministry is not business as usual.

Within this one organization, there’s something truly special happening. Just one example: they’ve developed a beautiful 70,000+ square foot grocery store called Living Fresh Market. That alone speaks volumes. It’s not just about feeding people spiritually—they are feeding them physically with quality, accessible food. And I know there is so much more happening behind the scenes that I didn’t even get to see.

Now let me be clear: over the years, I’ve spoken at many mega-churches across the country. And while many do great work in their own ways, when it comes to helping people improve their health, most have completely dropped the ball.

Let’s be honest—how often do you see a church with a true wellness program? One that offers ongoing education on nutrition, metabolic health, and the power of food as medicine?

Rarely.

And yet, every week, churches are filled with people seeking wisdom, purpose, and transformation. Meanwhile, we live in a world that is actively deceiving people when it comes to health—from misleading marketing to conflicting dietary advice, to food deserts and pharmaceutical overreach. The Church, which is meant to be a lighthouse for guidance in all areas of life, remains largely silent when it comes to helping people take control of their health.

That’s why what I saw at Bill Winston Ministries hit me so deeply.

They’re doing something different. Something bold. Something that could become a model for churches everywhere.

I’ve personally offered my time and expertise to serve this ministry and support their mission in any way I can. Whether they take me up on that or not, I will continue cheering them on—because what they’re doing matters.

And more importantly, they have the leadership, the heart, and the vision to truly make an impact.

So, here’s my message to you:

👉 If you are part of a church—or you’re a person of influence within a church—I have a plan for you.

A plan to establish a legit wellness arm in your ministry, centered around nutrition education, better health outcomes, and community transformation. What I’m referring to is evidence-based and clinically proven. We’ve done the work. The systems are already in place.

All I need is a church that sees the value in offering something real, relevant, and life-changing to their congregation and community.

📅 To learn more, schedule a free consultation with me. I’ll share a seamless way to implement this program—one that empowers your church to be a beacon of health and healing for those you serve. You can also email me at Robert@dietfreelife.com.

Because yes, I believe the Church can be the answer.
And I’m ready to help make that happen.
