Personal life
In an interview with The 700 Club , Natalie revealed that she suffered from bulimia . http://www.cbn.com/700club/Guests/bios/Natalie_Grant042408.aspx She says God helped her get over her eating disorder. She later wrote a book titled The Real Me: Being the Girl God Sees , about her struggle and how she overcame it.
Grant lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her Canadian producer husband, Bernie Herms, and their three daughters, which includes a set of fraternal twin girls Grace Ana and Isabella Noelle (born February 16, 2007).cite web|url= http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Twins_For_Natalie/26341/p1/|title= Twins for Natalie|accessdate= 2008-09-14|date= 2007-03-01|publisher= crossRhythms.co.uk On December 17, 2010, Grant gave birth to their third child, Sadie Rose.
She has a passion to see an end to human trafficking . She was affected by an episode of Law & Order that dealt with the topic and began researching. Her studies led her and her husband to travel to India to witness the red-light districts and what is being done to stop them. That experience, coming in the middle of a restless, stressed-out season for her, completely changed the trajectory of Natalie's life, awakening her out of complacency and passivity and into a life driven by compassion and passion. And it has forever changed the way she approaches her music. http://www.cbn.com/cbnmusic/Artists/Grant_Natalie.aspx CBNmusic - Natalie Grant

The Home Foundation has since evolved into Abolition International, an international leader in the fight to eradicate sex trafficking through aftercare accreditation, advocacy and education initiatives, and dedication to opening restoration homes for those already victimized by sex trafficking.cite web|title=Who We Are|url= http://abolitioninternational.org/who-we-are/|work=Abolition International: A Home Foundation Initiative|accessdate=3 April 2012
