About this listen

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.

What is the biblical perspective on diet culture?


How can I find peace with food as a Christian?


What does it mean to treat your body as a temple in relation to eating?

    Every moment on social media matters. It shapes who we are and the women we will become. But even hearing that, it still feels impossible to break the habit of reaching for the phone to see what your friend has been up to, or what the latest trending Reel is, or even using these apps for work. So… what are you to do?

    Allie Marie Smith joins Chrissy to talk about this very thing! Her new book is called Social Media Reset. In this episode, you’ll hear messages she shares in her book, including how to recognize if social media is negatively impacting your life, what keeps people in resistance from minimizing time on these apps, and how you can reset your relationship with social media in just 30 days!

  • 61: Making & Breaking Agreements with Jordan & Marie Foote
    Apr 15 2025

    Send us a text

    The voice of the enemy is loud and persuasive—and sometimes easier to hear than God’s tender, loving messages. Satan is sneaky with the agreements he lures us into. Once we realize the weight of all those lies we’ve believed, it can feel like a hopeless situation we can’t untangle from.

    But nothing could be further from the truth! Jordan and Marie Foote are back to help us understand how spiritual roots connect to agreements and how identifying and breaking those agreements with the enemy leads to freedom through Christ.

    In this episode, you’ll hear personal examples of agreements made without realizing it, words that bind us to these lies, and a 3-step process you can walk through today to break free from agreements with the enemy!

    If you haven’t listened to episode 60, go back and tune into that one first! Today’s episode about agreements builds on that foundational conversation of understanding spiritual roots.

  • 60: Understanding Spiritual Roots with Jordan & Marie Foote
    Apr 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Chrissy frequently references the concept of negative spiritual roots, but we've never spent an entire episode digging in to understanding how deep-seated emotions, beliefs, and experiences fuel harmful behaviors and perspectives.

    Often rooted in past hurts, trauma, or unaddressed sin, spiritual roots can hinder growth and distance us from God. Instead of avoiding the issue once it’s exposed, the Lord wants us to turn toward Him in our time of need.

    Today, Jordan and Marie Foote join Chrissy to dig into how roots of bitterness, unforgiveness, pride, fear, idolatry, envy, and more take hold—and how Jesus wants to help us identify and uproot them for true healing and freedom.
