Turning to Christ while Healing from an Eating Disorder | Rachelle Chase

This episode was originally made for a Gender Development Class at BYU. My intent was to help Mission Presidents understand how severe this issue is and how to help them recognize ways to serve sister missionaries struggling with eating disorders. This podcast can also be applied to life outside of the mission and Rachelle mentions principles that can also be applied to addiction.
