UNDRESSED: Taking Everything Off and Putting on What Matters Most

by Mark Cornelison

"Sometimes, just when you think life is going just the way you expect, things can change. What once was normal and acceptable is replaced by a sense that there is a better life to be lived, often in surprising ways. This describes Mark Cornelison, contestant on NBC’s The Biggest Loser, before his life-changing experience on this popular show.

Mark realized that the life he was living had to look different and he gave God the freedom to, not only change him physically, but also mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. This new chance to live life brought with it a message that he knew could change other people in the way it had changed him.

The world he had complicated with stuff, that we all think is important, was taken away one layer at a time. He was then clothed with a new, simple life. Now he shares the story and challenges you with what he has learned from the journey.

Come see what needs to be taken off of you so that a better you can truly live."

About the author

Mark Cornelison went on The Biggest Loser because he was ready to make the life changes necessary to get healthy. A poor diet and lack of exercise led him to start gaining weight in high school. As a youth pastor for more than 17 years, his weight had reached an all- time high and something had to be done.
Mark returned over 100lbs lighter with a new life. Now with no medical issues holding him back he enjoys being a role model to his family. His greatest joy is now having the physical and mental ability to do and be anything Christ calls him to be. After taking a stand on the show which ultimately led to Mark walking away from any and all prize possibilities with only two weeks left to go, he has seen the doors open to sharing the truth of how God is alive and well behind the scenes in Hollywood.

After almost two years since the show’s end, he now gets to travel across the US to encourage others. Mark now works for VisionTrust International to help orphaned and neglected children around the world. He connect churches and people with the places around the globe where the needs are the greatest.

This experience has deeply changed him and his family...and this is still only the beginning.
