Capital Baptist Church is hosting the sixth annual Losing to Live 5K Run/Walk Saturday,

After
turning to the Bible in a successful quest to lose weight, he shed more than
100 points and created the Losing to Live weight loss competition, resulting in
participants losing more than 16,000 pounds during the past six years. Known as
the “anti-fat pastor,” Reynolds has publicized his message about healthy lifestyles through Jesus
in books and TV appearances.
