Episode 3: Facing the Risk of an Eating Disorder for Your Child

Growing Home Together Podcast

In today’s image-driven, social-media saturated culture, our kids face a tough battle for a healthy body image and relationship with food. Our own family encountered the destructive force of eating disorders in a painful way. We’re excited to welcome Jennifer Lane to the podcast today. Her expertise and her own personal story give great hope to families facing the struggle of disordered eating: “It was like God turned on a light on in a dark room and showed me the fundamental lies I had been believing since I was a small child, that had only gained momentum as experiences fed the lies. I was able to see that they were lies and was able to replace them with the truth of his Word… The veil had been lifted.” Jennifer Lane helps us to understand: The risk factors and causes of eating disorders for our kids. The spiritual, emotional, and physical sides of disordered eating. How to recognize an eating disorder in your child’s life. How a parent can support their child with an eating disorder. How dads can affirm their daughters and build them up. The power of God to set our children totally free from eating disorders. How Jennifer’s personal journey with an eating disorder led to an impactful ministry to girls and women who struggle. For more on this topic, you can find a recent article here on our blog.
