WELCOME

H. E. L. P.

Hunger

We ask God to help us wait for physical hunger before we eat and we ask Him to help us eat “just enough”.

Emotions

When we want to eat but aren’t physically hungry, we try to name the emotions we are feeling in that moment.

Lord

We bring our emotions to God and ask Him to comfort us and guide us, rather than turning to food.

Pursue Life

We ask God to help us make a plan to pursue life beyond food – through relationships, healing and new activities.

If diets have failed and you would like to find freedom from excessive eating through God’s love, truth, and help, Releasity is for you!

This confidential, fun and supportive community helps women overcome their battle with food by learning how to invite God into the healing process. Through the teaching, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand why and how God wants to bring healing in this area

  • Discover how restrictive diets work against you and how gospel truths bring freedom to make wise choices for your body

  • Recognize the difference between physical hunger and emotional eating

  • Learn how to effectively cope with the emotions that have led you to overeat in the past

  • Let your struggle become a pathway to greater intimacy with God

  • Develop a practical plan to enjoy life beyond food and stop overeating!

Jesus promised us freedom from bondage and life abundant, but how do we obtain these when it comes to food and overeating? Releasity will walk you through these questions in a safe and supportive community.

TESTIMONY

“I wanted to write you and thank you for leading this group. While it took courage and felt hard to participate in the first class, I am equally so grateful to have a time and group to attend each week for this purpose. I am thankful to walk alongside you and others as I seek freedom from what has been the biggest stronghold in my life.”

The Releasity course brings together seven key concepts for finding freedom from overeating. The acronym RELEASE summarizes these steps and is the framework for each week’s teaching sessions:

RELEASE

  • Remember what you want.

  • Expect the Lord to heal.

  • Live out of your freedom.

  • Eat with hunger when you feel it.

  • Acknowledge your emotions.

  • Seek the Spirit every day.

  • Experience life to the full.

The Bible speaks of trading in our old ways for new ways of living. Below are exchanges that women have reported after taking the Releasity course.

  • Believing God can make you new instead of feeling hopelessness and despair.

  • Genuinely wanting to eat a reasonable amount instead of fighting the desire to overeat.

  • Showing kindness toward yourself instead of self-loathing or shame

  • Following internal hunger cues instead of external food rules

  • Enjoying a safe space to share with others rather than living in isolation and shame

  • Having Biblical, noble thoughts instead of obsessive thoughts about food and body

  • Gospel freedom from diets instead of being ruled by diets

  • Effectively coping with emotions instead of ineffectively coping by eating

  • Reliance on the Holy Spirit for change instead of reliance on yourself for change

  • Choosing to make beneficial choices for your body instead of asking, “What can I get away with eating?”

  • Increased intimacy with God instead of feeling distant from God because of your food struggle

  • Discovering delightful, new ways to spend your time instead of always focusing on your food and body

“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”

—Isaiah 43:19
