    Brittany never felt the spirit and left the LDS church but God never forgot her and brought her back

    "I'm no longer scared to go to the temple after reading the Book of Mormon and knowing what it means... It is just been so many tender mercies since coming back, I'll never go back to that place I was before. I'll never let my family go back to that place before. And I know a hundred percent Heavenly Father put the Browns in Chloe's life knowing that that was how he was gonna get to me. And I know that prayer and priesthood is the biggest part of all that, and I'm so thankful." 00:00 A Troubling Temple Experience 09:23 Disconnect from the Church 14:47 Reconnecting with My Father 18:58 Chloe's Baptism and Its Impact 28:53 Breaking Down and Seeking Help 31:58 A Life-Changing Blessing 41:20 Temple Work and Family Connections Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

    Terryl Givens on navigating faith and doubt, the true nature of God, and the secret of Christianity

    "Doubts don't begin as a rejection of God or his gospel, they generally emerge as a rejection of ways in which God is being characterized... So what are the expectations we bring to the table? My personal take on this is, does my faith make God present to me? Does my faith give me access to the God of truth and love? Everything else is ancillary to that question or should be, and in my case, what I find is that yes, this church does." 00:00 Choosing Faith is Courageous 05:38 Letter to a Doubter 07:31 The Role of Doubt in Faith 10:30 The True and Living Church 16:25 The Importance of Community in Faith 23:30 Addressing Culture 24:44 The Genuine Question 35:01 Rebuilding Faith from the Ground Up 42:05 The Restoration of God's Love Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

    Porn & sex addiction led to betrayal & excommunication, until Steven finally found hope in recovery

    "I got some relief from the incredible fear and pain and darkness that was surrounding me when I made the decision to get honest. That was a profound experience. There's a great scripture that I actually experienced in that event, it was Alma 34:31-Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately will the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you. That scripture I found later in my repentance process spoke to me because I had experienced what happened when I had a change of heart. From fear of coming forward and being honest, to I will get honest. I will do whatever is required. I could lose my marriage, lose my church membership, lose my family, lose my job. All of those things were possibilities. But yet I realized that I didn't have any alternative except to get honest. And when I chose to do that, that was a changing experience for my life." https://salifeline.org https://SAL12step.org Betrayal trauma book written by Rhyll Anne Croshaw: "What Can I Do About Me?" 00:00 Life-Changing Event 03:46 Mission in New Zealand 04:28 Addressing Sexual Addiction 09:10 Personal Recovery Journey 14:57 Rhyll's Perspective 17:00 Second and Third Disclosures 34:27 Understanding Betrayal and Addiction 44:05 The Importance of Parental Involvement 48:29 Steven's Excommunication and Re-baptism 01:02:01 The Power of True Doctrine Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Mike's Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% off https://memorjewelry.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

    Jared Halverson on consecrating your faith crisis.."Jesus takes brokenness and turns it into beauty"

    Recorded at our Fall Come Back to Christ Event in Provo, UT. "I'm grateful for all that Jesus does with our brokenness. He doesn't believe in creation ex nihilo, creation out of nothing. We don't believe in it. Jesus doesn't do it that way. He takes stuff and if you have stuff then you have something to offer. If you have brokenness, if you have doubt, if you have concern, if you have questions, if you have sin, if you have struggle, if you have sorrow, if you have broken hearts and contrite spirits or even broken covenants, whatever you've got, it's stuff. It's matter. And if you will consecrate to God your crisis, he can create something beautiful." 00:00 Mama Bear Moment 01:53 The Prodigal Party 03:25 Personal Prodigal Stories 13:12 The Role of a Judge 18:58 Gospel Tangents and Celestial Slingshots 32:05 The Fortunate Fall 35:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

    " As soon as you have Christ and understand that you can give everything to him and He's got you, I mean, He's got us. He's got us. I know it. I mean, every time. I'm a dummy, you know, I'm a dummy and have done dumb things and been in the darkest places and He is right there "Come on, let's go." He'll pull you right out and He'll put all those people around you that need to be.

    Ashly Stone discusses her journey through rehab, the Book of Mormon, and President Nelson's promise

    "The thing that always comes to mind for me is that ye will know them by their fruits. And what I have really come to realize, especially recently, is the fruits of the gospel of Jesus Christ and being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ produces such pure fruit in my life... This is the kind of community that I want to be a part of. This is the kind of community that is making a difference in the world and is kind, and obviously not perfect because nobody is. But man, if I had to associate myself with a group of people, I am so grateful and happy and proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, especially in these times."

    Carla’s live podcast: How Jesus Christ ran into darkness to rescue a lost mother and save a family

    "I was like, I'm doing this. And then I remembered, this is my mom's church. I was like, oh no. Anything but that, she can't be right! And then I looked at myself and I just thought how am I gonna sit in Relief Society looking like this? You can't ask me to do that. That's too much, they ask a lot of you in that church, and I don't think I could do this. But if it meant saving my children then I was all aboard. I didn't care. Nobody could push me away. Nobody could take away the fact that I was just heard and I was just saved and I didn't deserve any of it. I was an awful, awful person all the things that I did. And there was my Savior there, running into the flames to rescue me. And not only just me, but he was there to help me save my family. And so from that day on, I just vowed. I was like, that's it. This is what I'm doing. I'm doing it all and I'm gonna do it full force." 00:00 A Desperate Prayer 04:49 Carla's Rebellious Youth 09:28 Struggles with Addiction 13:42 Family Turmoil and Separation 20:12 A Mother's Desperation 21:13 A Prayer for Help 23:50 A New Beginning 25:24 First Steps in Faith 30:12 A Son's Redemption 38:19 Gratitude and Reflection Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Mike's Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

    Carrie and Andrew's remarkable story of marriage, disability, and a complete reconstruction of faith

    " Becoming a mom just was this huge invitation to try again, see the world in such a more beautiful and dynamic way.
