Old School Food Freedom
In today’s diet-culture society, food issues and body hatred have become the norm. But you were created to be FREE. Welcome to Old School Food Freedom, where we go back to the basics, God’s basics, for how we view food, our bodies, and our worth.
Hosted by FINDINGbalance Executive Director Chrissy Kirkman, this podcast features Biblically-sound experts, thought-leaders, artists, and everyday people who will inspire you to interrupt negative cultural soundtracks and rediscover God’s original design for your relationship with food and your body.
This show will deliver practical, faith-filled insights on how to break free from diet culture and body shame through the lens of scripture. If you’re looking for guidance on how to heal your relationship with food while deepening your faith, you're in the right place.
We’ll answer questions like

After listening to our Q&A Mix Tape conversation in Season 2, our friend Erin Todd from the "Intuitive Eating for Christian Women Podcast" reached out. Like us, she’s seen so many women wrestle with one question we covered, “Are the Health at Every Size® principles Biblical?” She encouraged us to create a stand-alone episode with this as the focus, so here we are! Dr. Alisa Shanks of Colorado Christian University and Amy Schaller of FINDINGbalance join me to answer this listener question. Dr. Alisa Shanks reveals the 5 principles of Health at Every Size® and gives context and examples. Amy Schaller guides us through the discussion of the Biblical nature—or lack thereof—of each principle. You won’t want to miss this insightful roundtable or the podcast update!
