Last week, Kate and I had the privilege of performing three shows aboard the Monarch of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, in partnership with the K-Love Friends & Family Cruise. We had a great time connecting with long-time friends, relaxing, and even working, sharing the stage with folks like the Newsboys (w/ Michael Tait – very interesting), Big Daddy Weave, MercyMe, Mandisa, 33 Miles, Fireflight, Tenth Avenue North, Francesca Battistelli, Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, the guys from 321 Improv, and more.
We also made some new friends, including Sean Algaier, a contestant from Season 8 of the Biggest Loser. Turns out, Sean had seen one of our shows in Indiana, and was already a fan. I was excited to hook up and hang out with him a little, and even more excited to be able to sit down with him for a quick video interview.
In my last post, I sat down with music artists, Everlife, and discussed their new song “What’s Beautiful”, and we talked about the role deception plays in self-image. This video is closely related to a similar topic, as Sean and I talk about his experience on the show, how to lose weight, and how he was deceived throughout that process. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed the video, and that it was an encouragement to those of you who have tried getting in shape, but have given up. Or for those of you who have wanted to, I hope this pushes you to take the first step. Along the way, take Sean’s story to heart, and don’t be deceived!
I’d be honored if you left a comment here and shared part of your experience. Have you gotten into shape? If so, what worked for you? And were you deceived at all? I’d love to hear your story, and it will be an encouragement to others, just as Sean’s is.
And what about those of you who are trying to lose a few pounds? What lies have you allowed to creep inside your head that have kept you from pursuing or accomplishing your goals?
