Helping women find Jesus
in the middle of their struggles with eating disorders and other food and body image challenges.
OUR MISSION
FINDINGbalance exists to help women find Jesus in the middle of their struggles with eating disorders and other food and body image issues.
OUR VISION
To create safe spaces for women to walk toward freedom in Christ-centered community resulting in a Kingdom impact and cultural shift.
OUR KEY VERSE
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Galatians 5:1 (NIV)
FINDINGbalance is a Christ-centered 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry helping women find freedom worldwide.
When you partner with FINDINGbalance, you’re making a Kingdom impact and cultural shift by helping us create a safe space for women to walk toward freedom in Christ-centered community.
What if we told you that food is not the issue? What if it goes much deeper than that?
You can experience freedom through God’s grace, mercy, and love.
If controlling food, exercise, your body, or how others perceive you has become a coping mechanism in your life, we invite you on a journey to walk with Jesus together to:
uproot lies and replace them with biblical truth,
experience that you are not alone,
and learn ways to safely deal with sadness, grief, anxiety, and shame so you can live the abundant life you were created for.
Based on scripture, we believe Jesus wants you to:
Know that you can come as you are—welcomed and accepted, no matter your size or struggle.
Move from isolation into a safe, Christ-centered space where you can truly belong.
Experience His joy in community and sense that He is with you and for you—even in the middle of the struggle.
Step fully into His purpose for you, right now, just as you are (you don’t need to “get it together” first.)
Carry this freedom and truth with grace, so others can know it, too.
