Dr. Ian and The Challenge team were honored to spend a weekend with Bishop T.D. Jakes and the congregation at The Potter’s House.

Our visit began on Saturday, March 8, with a stop at Manifest, a for-men-only conference, where nearly 1,000 men joined The Challenge! The event itself was nothing short of inspirational as we witnessed over 2,000 men take a stand and commit to their faith, family, and wellbeing.  

Then, on Sunday, Dr. Ian addressed those in attendance for the service at The Potter’s House. The Dallas membership responded tremendously with nearly another 1,000 registrants and an energized Challenge team -- Team Potter’s House!

One of the many highlights from the weekend came from Bishop Jakes. He heard about our visit to New Birth and decided to call-out Bishop Eddie Long and the New Birth team to a healthy, Church weight-loss competition!

It's amazing to experience how The Challenge is embraced at every stop we make.

This Challenge is yours and it's about us taking a stand to live healhier... together.

Take courage in knowing that we're not in this fight alone. Our community continues to grow--we are currently over 400,000 participants strong!

Please help us keep our momentum alive as we all strive to reach our goals.

Take a moment to invite your friends and family to join us.
