“We demolish arguments
and every pretention that

knowledge of God, and we
take captive every thought to
make it obedient to Christ” (2
Cor. 10:5).
Learn to Deal with Emotions
Acquire insights to help you
change your perspective on
emotions and get tips for
healthy ways to express
them.
When it comes to emotions,
it's better out than in.
See Yourself through God’s Eyes
Inside and Out
Learn to change your self-
talk and see the amazing,
beautiful person God created
you to be.
“See, I have engraved you
on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before
me” (Isa. 49:16).
Address Your Relationship with Food
Obtain valuable tips to help
you balance your food intake
and say no to food-related
behaviors.
Invite God to your table.
Imagine him with you. Let his
presence strengthen and
comfort you.
Invite God’s Power into
Your Recovery
Become equipped with
principles to help you trust
God to lead your recovery,
and experience his power.
It's in human weakness that
you can experience divine
strength.
Practice Journaling
Receive a huge variety of
journaling questions and
exercises to use as tools in
your recovery.
Let your journal be your guts
on paper; let it all out.
Let Go of Control
Obtain principles and tips to
help you change your
perspective about control
and start releasing it into
God's hands.
God keeps his promises.
There's no one better to lead
your journey.
Let Go of Fear
Gain insights to face and
conquer your fears with
divine help.
Fear can be stubborn, but
you can be stubborn, too, by
leaving fear with the Lord
time after time if that's what it
takes.
Experience Inner Healing
Receive Scriptures you can
turn to and principles you
can embrace to help you
heal on the inside.
"The Lord is close to the
brokenhearted and saves
those who are crushed in
spirit” (Ps. 34:19).
Practice Forgiveness
Gain valuable principles to
help you forgive and heal
from the effects of others’
offenses.
When you forgive, you can
break free of the person's
control over you.
Let Go of Perfectionism
Find out how to let go of
what drives you to
perfectionism and change
your mindset about your
expectations of yourself.
Underneath, you are still you
regardless of what you do or
don't do. Your performance
doesn't define your identity.
That's God's job.
Let Go of Guilt
Learn to discern between
true and false guilt and
receive principles to help you
break free of the bondage of
all guilt.
If you genuinely look at
God's love, grace, and
mercy, you'll see that his
forgiveness has nothing to
do with whether you feel
worthy. It has everything to
do with who he is.
Let Go of Shame
Take in principles to help you
let go of shame once and for
all.
You didn't choose to have an
eating disorder. You're trying
to recover. That's nothing to
be ashamed of.
Deal with Relapses
Learn to put relapses behind
you and work toward
preventing future relapses.
Use a relapse as a stepping
stone to a stronger you.
Have Perseverance
Gain strength and
encouragement to stay on
track in your recovery.
Even baby steps add up to a
journey.
