Incredible journey, you can read about it here:
https://www.lincolndiocese.org/news/diocesan-news/19835-a-new-walk-of-faithful-fitness-priest-loses-200-pounds

Father Adam Sparling has lost more than half of his physical self. But—in daily choices to become healthier, and losing 200 pounds in the process—he’s giving God glory.

“I came up with all sorts of excuses and the reasons why I couldn’t do things,” he admitted. “I was really (continually) open in the sense of praying, ‘Lord, just make me healthy and skinny tomorrow.’”

That “tomorrow,” the day where he started building the positive domino effect of greater physical, mental and spiritual health, landed June 20, 2024. He was, at the time, pastor of St. Anne Catholic Church of Campbell, NE.

Father Sparling’s new lifetime of fitness has also afforded him incredible levels of personal prayer time, the kind that has deeply grown his own spiritual life.

“I talk sometimes in prayer when I’m out walking. I’m just talking to the Lord, sometimes grappling with some heavy things,” he said.

“People driving by probably think I’m crazy sometimes, but I’m just working these out and talking to the Lord.”

He believes self care through fitness truly becomes a worthy investment in the self, a way of better caring for what God has given each of us.

“If you don’t invest in yourself, then how can you care for your children?” Father Sparling said. “I can tell you, it’s okay to invest in yourself.”
