It is possible to find freedom in Christ from s3xual shame and struggles like p*rnography. (Ladies listen up, because this isn’t a topic that only applies to men.) Too many women are living with s3xual shame and guilt. And for many that spirals into eating issues and negative self-talk. Dr. Joy Skarka joins me for this 2-part conversation and we begin with her story. She also shares relevant eye-opening statistics, what parents need to know, and what we all need to hear about salvation in these struggles. Friends, I know this is a difficult topic that many would like to avoid and might feel odd in a Christian setting (because we simply aren't used to that), but I pray you will listen, if only to see what Jesus has for you in this conversation.
In this episode, you will:
Discover how we as parents can react in a more helpful way to our child’s curiosity about these topics. Learn some confronting statistics about adult website viewership, p*rnography exposure, and more. Uncover a first step you can take if you’re ready to heal from any kind of s3xual shame or struggle.Full Show Notes Here!

The 90s had no shortage of messaging that revolved around diet (mostly all things no or low fat) and exercise. From NordicTrack to our trusty VHS tapes, there was no shortage of fitness trends! And this 1995 issue of Shape Magazine I found stored in my old closet reminds us of that. Amy Carlson joins me for the second half of our look at diet culture over the years. (Be sure to check out the 80s Diet Culture Time Capsule episode.) In this episode, we continue our journey down memory lane. We giggle about the Got Milk?® campaigns, 90s grunge fashion, and tenderly discuss fat phobia and so-called "success stories". After looking at the lies women were told in the 90s, we shift our focus to the messaging for this podcast and my prayer for this show.
In this episode, you will:
Discover what we miss from the funky fresh 90s. Uncover the messaging around fat in the 90s. Learn about the big mission for this podcast & how this all fits together.

80s diet culture was confusing at best. And that’s from an adult woman’s perspective decades later! Imagine being a young girl and receiving messaging that tells you to both blend in and embrace your uniqueness. Good grief! Registered Dietitian, Amy Carlson, joins me for this episode. We’re taking a trip back in time—thanks to a pamphlet I was given at 10 years old that included diet, hair and skincare, and exercise tips so “you can, overall, look healthier, fitter, and prettier than ever before!” Oh yeah, it’s cringe! But what can we learn from this propaganda for the sake of ourselves and future generations? Be sure to tune into the follow up episode all about diet culture in the 90s!
In this episode, you will:
Discover what young girls are being told now about body image and dieting in the 80s. Learn about or revisit popular shows, phrases, music, and… stickers? Uncover what was happening on a more global scale during the 80s.

In this sweet episode of the Old School Food Freedom Podcast, host Chrissy Kirkman and guest Liesel Maddox, RDN, LD, tackle a topic that's close to their hearts: tearing down the lies of diet culture within the Church. As they dive into the intersection of faith and food, Liesel highlights the importance of aligning our understanding of food and nutrition with biblical principles and rejecting the harmful message of diet culture for the freedom of God's people.
Knowing that our sanctification isn't tied to changing our bodies or pursuing weight loss but rooted in seeking God's truth and honoring Him with our bodies, we can reconcile our relationship with food and restore its place in our lives — where food is not only for survival, but an emotional, relational, and enjoyable part of God's creation. By lifting the veil on harmful diet culture lies that have infiltrated the Church, Chrissy and Liesel share valuable perspectives and tools you can use to help foster a safer, and more God-honoring approach to food and body within your beloved church community.

In this episode of The Old School Food Freedom Podcast, host Chrissy Kirkman is joined by Tracy Brown, RD, LD/N to explore a recent and deeply personal experience Chrissy faced. Chrissy's story underscores the reality that regardless of our progress on the journey towards freedom from food and body image struggles, we all encounter challenges that test our boundaries and growth, even with the right tools at hand. None of us are exempt from these trials, but we don't have to give in to the deception and discouragement they bring.
Grounded in Christ-centered reflection and restoration, we can replace fear, shame, and even rage with the liberating truth of God's grace. Tracy's insights throughout the conversation offer valuable guidance for navigating such difficult moments, advocating for reclaiming "Christ-centered agency over our bodies," embracing and expressing emotions in healthy ways, and ultimately moving closer to healing and true freedom.

At the beginning of each new year, there's an influx of societal pressures telling us what we should or should not be doing for our bodies. It can be challenging enough to navigate, but what if you're affected by a health condition or limitation on top of it all? Host and FINDINGbalance Executive Director, Chrissy Kirkman, discusses overcoming these challenges on the path to food freedom with guest Amanda Reynolds — an author and health coach with personal experience in movement and eating well despite being faced with difficult health circumstances. We believe you'll breathe a sigh of relief as you listen to this episode and feel encouraged by Chrissy and Amanda's helpful advice on "eating well and feeling free" through God's goodness and grace!

Okay y’all, we have another fired-up episode of the Old School Food Freedom Podcast to kick off 2024! Our enemy, Satan, has tried to steal WAY too much territory from us… and sometimes we forget that we have the power in Christ to take it back. In this conversation, host Chrissy Kirkman and guest Amia Freeman unravel the complexities of finding freedom in movement and explore the transformative journey of embracing “grace mode” over “beast mode”. (RED FLAG! We don’t want to do ANYTHING in his mode.)
Be motivated in your own journey as you hear their personal experiences and insights on overcoming fear, stepping out in faith, and reclaiming territories from the enemy. We pray you’ll feel encouraged to adopt a more grace-filled approach to life, health, and movement and experience true freedom by embracing God’s love and purpose.
