Are you ready to go on a Jesus Journey? You’re invited!
I know what it is like to have so many questions about the Christian faith. And if you are like me you may have some religious baggage that left you questioning your self-worth in a big way.
Let me guess- the world keeps telling you you are enough- all on your own you are enough?

Well, I’m about to drop a truth bomb-
....on your own you will never be enough! 

Hold up! 
Did I get your attention? 

I’m Shelby Hohsfield at times I was an ex-Mormon, agnostic, a Sunday Christian, want to be Buddhist and a New Age follower, but God had very different plans for me. The whole time I was living in one very big lie- that I was in charge of my own enoughness and my works were going to save me and my life. 

Don’t get me wrong, I am all about self-help and personal development, but as a born-again fully transformed Christian I learned there is the world’s way and there is God’s way. 

To quote CS Lewis, ”The more we get ourselves out of the way and let Him take us over the more truly ourselves we become.” Mere Christianity. 
You are enough not because of what you have done, but because of what He has done, and He lives through you. 

If you are ready for Bible truths, theology and apologetics, and wisdom from His word that will shape your life, your confidence and yes, your feeling of being enough-
then, friend, you are in the right place!

ABOUT YOUR HOST
Finding Faith Above is hosted by Shelby Hohsfield. Shelby grew up in a mixed faith home and attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon or LDS) church until she was 18. As most people do when they leave the church, 85% actually, Shelby left God altogether when she left the LDS church. It wasn’t until she was pregnant with her son that God was made evident to her.
From there sparked a quest to FIND FAITH, a fleeting idea that challenged her at every step.
After trying all matters of religion for years, she was struck one night when some big things literally brought her to her knees- When things got super hard it was the surrender to the one true God that changed everything about Shelby’s life, belief, and understanding of this universe we live in.
After a 20-year journey after leaving the church, she finally found faith above.
As Jesus asked us to do, Shelby now dedicates herself to the great commission- telling the world the good news of Jesus. _______________________________________________________________
If you are ready to also share the good news you can partner with Shelby and create a website to match the amazing message you are bringing to the world.

    81. How to Teach Our Kids About God, with Children’s Author Christie Thomas

    81. How to Teach Our Kids About God, with Children’s Author Christie Thomas

    One of the biggest hurdles Ex-LDS ladies have to scale is figuring out how to teach our kids about God.
    When we don’t have an example and are coming to motherhood with so much religious baggage, the task of teaching our kids about Jesus can be overwhelming. We are just trying to figure this all out ourselves, let alone be a guide to one of God’s precious children. 
    In today’s episode, we get some help with that. 
    Author and long-time children’s ministry goer is giving us some practical and applicable advice for bringing the fruit of the spirit into our home and into the lives of our kids.
    How to explain God’s love to a child?
    Take a listen!

    Faith Transition Coaching Sessions with Me!
    I help women transition to a confident Christian life after leaving the LDS church. I get it; it's not a smooth walk! We focus on overcoming the overwhelm and culture shock of a life outside of the social and religious rules of Mormonism and learn to partner with Holy Spirit to find your compass, the one you turned off a long time ago. From how to order coffee, talking to your kids about Jesus, to picking a new church to call home, I can help you navigate that overwhelm and find a life filled with God's peace. We will laugh and cry, but ultimately, we will learn how to develop a sense of identity in Christ that is authentic and learn what it feels like to love God, love others, and love ourselves.  Grab your session!

    80. Tools for a Life of Faith with Vanessa Szanto

    80. Tools for a Life of Faith with Vanessa Szanto

    Today we are talking about the essential tools that we need in living out our faith with my longest and one of my closest friends, Vanessa Szanto. Vanessa has been hugely instrumental in my walk with faith. No two faith journeys are the same, but there are tools we can all pack into our toolkits to help us on this adventure of our walk with God.
    You are going to hear in Vanessa's voice just how much she loves the Lord and how important sharing that love with others is to her.
    I hope this episode moves you, changes you, and helps you pack those tools on your journey with Jesus that can find, live and share faith.
