Gwen Shamblin stands out as the founder of Remnant Fellowship Church in Brentwood, Tennessee. She established Remnant Fellowship from the success of Weigh Down Ministries, which began as a small Bible study group and expanded into a national movement.
More than 30 years ago, Gwen Shamblin drew together a group of people to help them turn away from overeating, substance use, and other destructive behaviors and toward a closer relationship with God. She employed a multifaceted technique that included Bible verse study as well as focused coaching that gave participants actionable steps that they could follow to address their vices and temptations. Soon, these individuals had turned their bad habits around and experienced healing in other aspects of their life, including their finances and relationships.
As local churches began to hear of these successes, they began to host their own Weigh Down Workshop events. Word soon spread beyond the local area and drew media attention. Mrs. Shamblin, who had recently released her book The Weigh Down Diet, began to accept appearances on such programs as The Today Show and CNN Live. She had effectively brought her ministry from a local gathering in a storefront to the international stage.
