Sean Algier
Youth pastor, Sean Algaier has a passionate testimony about what it means to “worship with your life.”
A few years ago he tipped the scales at 440 pounds as a season eight participant on NBC’s “The Biggest Loser.” Having been given a second chance on life, he has kept the weight off. "My purpose in this is to share what happened to me," he said. "I don't feel like a special individual. I'm not a superstar at all. I was a normal guy who was super overweight and very unhealthy and took that challenge."
Sean's issues with weight started at an early age. He was adopted at four years old and prior to that, bounced around from foster home to foster home. His adopted family, while loving and supportive, was often misguided in their attempts to keep him healthy and would use exercise as a punishment. Food ultimately became his comfort and ignited a battle that he fought for years. Now, he's winning that battle and helps others make health and wellness work for them. Sean is currently a youth pastor and worship leader in Tulsa, OK.
