Spirituality & religion are controversial topics around the world but specifically in the States, it's become outdated according to modern culture. As a follower of Christ I seek to increase faith in Jesus Christ, His gospel, & His church. In doing so, I hope to instill confidence w/in listeners that they can be spiritually resilient & Christ-reliant before, after & even during a crises of faith through stories shared by fellow members of the Church (including myself) who have, at times, experienced a crisis of faith. Especially as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

season 2, episode 4: HEALING ft. Amy Knox McLaughlin
Amy’s episode touches on her family’s journey and test of faith with managing and coping with her father’s challenge with addiction.
It can be incredibly challenging to be around circumstances that have inevitable negative consequences and just negative feelings towards someone you love and care about. There’s a lot of decisions to be made in scenarios like Amy’s.
Amy shares her childhood journey into adulthood that was guided by her resilient mother which evidently portrayed in this episode, set up Amy with the confidence and foundation of faith in Christ, despite the circumstances, to choose to lean on Christ during this season of her life.
While these circumstances are subjective to every family, perspective is key in all aspects of faith challenges.
This episode highlights the importance that we are not defined by our pasts or our mistakes but by the intents of our hearts.
We CAN heal from our traumas all because of faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement. -

The idea of ‘why I stay’ is so incredibly important, there are reasons and we should look for them. This podcast helps us do just that. Thank you for helping us all remember why we stay, because there are reasons and we can cling to those helping others see why we stay.
