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.

75: Restore Family Bonds in the Wake of an Eating Disorder with Kristin Fickes
“Thankfully, the story does not end there. I figured it out. And God's absolute, total grace and faithfulness showed me the way and led me to the right help.
Kristin Fickes’ story is relatable, and her experience is a gift. She’s someone we're linking arms with at FINDINGbalance in this fight against eating disorders. It's a Kingdom campaign and we're on it together.
In this conversation, we’re talking about how the entire family is impacted when someone is walking through recovery from an eating disorder, the difference it makes to have Christ-centered care as a part of treatment, and what parents can do to ensure any siblings feel included and supported.
Siblings and other children in the household are very significant members of the family unit that need to be included for the healing of the whole system. Be sure to check the show notes for additional resources wherever you are on this journey.
If anything in this conversation stood out to you, we’d love to hear! Text us using the link above. (We can’t reply, but we read every message and you might just hear an answer to your question on a future episode!)
