Hear Pastor Theo’s experience through the program…..
“My name is Theo Schaffer. I am the Pastor of a local church plant called Grace Church Charlotte, previously known as Word of Promise Christian Fellowship. My wife, Patrice and our two cubs Xan and Ryleigh entered the fitness journey with me. I think it’s safe to say I have lived two lives: Before & After MissionFiT. Before MissionFit, I struggled with eating habits, sleep balance and understanding the spiritual ramifications of not living a healthy lifestyle. One family passion is to be fully optimized in our spiritual and natural being to better serve and do kingdom work. I’m excited to say that we have accomplished our goals of becoming fit, educated and better stewards of our lifestyles.
When we started MissionFiT, we had no expectations. After MissionFiT as a family, we have gained better versions of ourselves, including more energy, a new affinity for fitness, and better relationships. I think the relationship aspect of MissionFiT has been my favorite part of the whole experience. Someone walking with you through the workouts and nutrition makes it all more fun. An extra bonus? My wife and I are closer now that fitness has given us new passions and talking points. In fact, I think my wife and my coach have been my “biggest fans”. 
Before MissionFiT, I never thought about what I ate or even working out as a lifestyle. I was inconsistent in sleep and managing meals, really knowing what to eat and what’s best to avoid. Now, not only do I have a handle on these areas, I have the confidence to train others and help my kids enter into the culture of fitness. I can’t tell a “favorite” movement because all of the things we learned were tough, but worth the effort. I really enjoyed “ReStarting my Heart”. It feels good to accomplish goals.
I mentioned earlier about being fully involved in our spiritual lives. After participating in MissionFiT’s Pastor’s course, I feel better about ministry. Faith is better realized when the mind and body are well. Personally, I don’t feel the same sludge at random times. I am reenergized from the small lifestyle changes made during the program. Getting of the path to better overall fitness and wellness will change your life.”
