You know what I mean. To be hidden. How do you hide? Maybe you’re shy. Ever since you can remember you’d be praying for a teacher that didn’t call on the kids in class who didn’t raise their hand. You’d sit at the back of the classroom and hide in a notebook or slumped down …

That’s a good thing…right?” In the latest episode of my church’s podcast, The Cast, I had the opportunity to share my journey with 4 different eating disorders, and the freedom Jesus alone brought me to.
