Ask Alice: Boys and Eating Disorders

Join us for education on boys and eating disorders! As summer kicks off, many teenagers will experience heightened pressure surrounding body image, leading to disordered eating for some. Thankfully, the gospel provides good news for bodies: They are created by God for good, redeemed by the Incarnation of Jesus, and awaiting a resurrection like his. In this series, Rooted writers discuss how we can help students navigate identity struggles in light of this gospel of grace.
Licensed professional counselor Alice Churnock recorded this podcast episode immediately after National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. In it, she discusses a variety of eating disorders, how males are uniquely impacted by eating disorders, and how the gospel offers good news to those who experience eating disorders.
At Rooted, we have a heart for children to develop faith in Jesus Christ that lasts. The most influential factor in determining whether a child will attend church as an adult is an accurate understanding of the Gospel- God’s unconditional love for sinners through Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are equipping leaders and parents throughout the country to practice gospel-centered youth ministry in the church. We long for every child to hear the gospel of grace, be taught the word of God, be mentored and discipled, and be prayed over and for- through their church and at home each week. This KZbin channel is filled with clips from each facet of our ministry.
