" The moment I stepped out of that Bishop's office, those cravings were gone. I went through three rehabs in my lifetime. I would go to AA meetings. When I got clean, I hated going to the meetings because they just made me feel guilty. Like you have this disease you're gonna carry with you the rest of your life. Well I don't. The Savior took that from me. He took it from me, and I don't have to worry."00:00 Struggling with Guilt04:11 Teenage Rebellion and First Experiences with Drugs10:05 Post-Mission Struggles and First Marriage11:40 Descent into Addiction and Legal Troubles27:43 Reuniting with Family After Prison31:27 Starting the Repentance Process35:50 Finding Love and Building a Family39:16 Reflecting on TransformationMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/233109071625046For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"It doesn't matter where you are on the path, it just matters which direction you're facing. I honestly wish I could say that my life is perfect, and since I've gone back to the temple everything has just fallen into place for me. There are times when I kill my sense of joy by comparing myself to other people, but I have to remind myself that it's okay where I'm at. And just like in the creation on the second day, the third day, it is still good. We are still good, and God still sees us as good. Even when we're just messes."00:00 A Terrifying Encounter05:15 Marriage and Motherhood09:06 Dating Challenges and Disillusionment26:23 Struggles with Faith and Sobriety34:35 A Miraculous Answer39:52 Pursuing Higher Education44:23 Returning to the Temple49:58 Finding Peace and PurposeMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/233109071625046For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"If you want answers, they are out there. But the one thing that I have learned is who do you have a testimony in? If you have a testimony in the church, if you have a testimony in the missionaries, in anything other than Jesus, it's going to fail you and you're going to fall. But if you have a testimony in Jesus and you really do believe that this is His church, all of those things-they'll pale. And when it's time for you to find those answers, you will find those answers. God works that way, line upon line, precept upon precept."00:00 Introduction and Personal Beliefs01:42 Welcoming Chase to the Podcast11:29 Post-Mission Life and Rebellion14:27 Life in the Mountains and Personal Realizations22:17 The Miracle and Reconnecting with Faith25:26 The Experiment Begins34:06 Struggles and Realizations40:22 Understanding Celestial ThinkingMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"Never judge a book by its cover. Because I'm covered with tattoos. You know, I got tattoos all over my neck, everywhere I'm covered. Don't ever look down on nobody. The only time you look down at somebody is if you have a hand stretched out to help the person up. Just like my Savior had His hand stretched out to me. For so long. Finally I grasped ahold of His hand and He lifted me right outta my darkness, and now my light can shine. It's my prayer and my hope now that people want to know Christ because they know me."00:00 Introduction and Early Struggles03:02 Troy's Early Life and Conversion13:38 Descent into Addiction16:38 Legal Troubles and Incarceration28:36 Baptism and Reconciliation30:57 Challenges and Misunderstandings32:37 Seeking Guidance and Support37:47 Restoration of Blessings40:07 Temple Experiences42:38 Sharing the Journey48:43 Final Reflections and GratitudeMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"I'm done doing these things alone. I'm ready to submit to your will. Like, I'm gonna let go of all my beliefs, all the things I think I know. I'm gonna let go of all of that, and I just want You to guide me forward. I told Him, I don't know if this church is true, but it's where I feel comfortable. So just show me. Like, be with me. Show me, let me know I'm going the right direction."00:00 Kristin's Personal Struggles06:04 Struggles with Faith and Church Attendance12:14 Turning to Alcohol and Personal Challenges19:22 Husband Coming Out and Personal Downfall37:04 Struggles with a Controlling Partner43:42 A Lifeline and a Prayer56:22 Finding Love and Sharing the JourneyMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"I personally believe that one of the ways in which the spirit speaks to someone such as myself is through logical sense. Which I think is interesting because usually those two things are pitted against each other. I never received the voice in my head saying, this is true when I'm reading the Book of Mormon as some people would. As something clicked in my head I would be at peace about it. And then obviously the heart and mind have to be unified in order to be spiritually in tune. So I am always like, well, if you're experiencing an absence of the spirit because you have all these logical problems, that's probably why. It's because your heart and mind need to be in tune. And that's obviously why I never received a purely spiritual witness, because my mind was just not in it, and my mind needs to be in it. And so I always like to view those two things as working together, not really working against each other."00:00 Facing a Crisis of Faith08:06 Seeking Answers and Facing Doubts11:54 Turning to Family and Church Leaders20:23 Finding Hope in Apologetic Literature23:54 Discovering Influential Books29:36 Advice for Navigating Anti-Religious Content32:39 Reconciling Faith and Logic39:20 What Makes The Church DifferentMemor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
" Lean into the God that you know, I will give you comfort, I will give you peace. So that's truly what I've learned through all my experiences. You know, in my deepest valleys where I was extremely fearful and guilt ridden, that I was so far gone, so far broken. Nobody would ever relate to me or understand me. I was completely cutting myself off from the one who understands this perfectly. Our Savior has felt everything that we've felt. Yeah, I will agree with people that, well, you don't understand how I'm feeling. I don't, I've never been through what you've been through, but your Savior does."Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"I find so much incredible joy in serving the temple. And in this position, it has been mind blowing to me just the amount of testimony I've gained. And seeing people in their hard situations and now understanding that everybody's situation's hard. We don't see it 'cause they all hide it. Right? And we just need to let God in. We need to let Him approach us. And we all need to be that for somebody else. We need to be the means of letting them see God's love, and acting on it." 00:00 The Devil Wants Me08:31 Struggles with Pornography and Early Challenges13:08 School Controversy and Social Isolation17:12 Rebellious Teenage Years26:17 Turning Point: Seeking Repentance32:31 Life-Changing Spiritual Experiences36:12 Overcoming Temptations and Challenges40:35 Final Reflections and GratitudeCozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"I just really started building my testimony to the point where I was able to start receiving personal revelation from my prayers again and getting answers and being close to God again. And then that's when everything changed. Like once I was able to have God in my life again, just I felt so much closer to Him and to the gospel and just being able to get answers. And then it's like I started to realize and looking back that He had been there all along."Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"When we are willing to submit to our Heavenly Father, he can do more with our life than we could ever want and hope to do. Sarah and I have a beautiful one-year-old tomorrow. It's been so fun and so hard, but it's so much more than what I ever could have made of with my life. And it's because of the atonement and it's because of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father and their infinite love for all of us."Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
Hank Smith's remarks at our recent Come Back to Christ Event. Hank shares a message of the incredible redemptive power of our Savior, the secret to staying unshaken by the world, and the goodness of the fruit of the tree of life.“A person with an experience is never at the mercy of a person with an opinion” ~ Hank SmithServe Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"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 Experience09:23 Disconnect from the Church14:47 Reconnecting with My Father18:58 Chloe's Baptism and Its Impact28:53 Breaking Down and Seeking Help31:58 A Life-Changing Blessing41:20 Temple Work and Family ConnectionsCozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"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 Courageous05:38 Letter to a Doubter07:31 The Role of Doubt in Faith10:30 The True and Living Church16:25 The Importance of Community in Faith23:30 Addressing Culture24:44 The Genuine Question35:01 Rebuilding Faith from the Ground Up42:05 The Restoration of God's LoveMemor 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.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"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.orghttps://SAL12step.orgBetrayal trauma book written by Rhyll Anne Croshaw: "What Can I Do About Me?"00:00 Life-Changing Event03:46 Mission in New Zealand04:28 Addressing Sexual Addiction09:10 Personal Recovery Journey14:57 Rhyll's Perspective17:00 Second and Third Disclosures34:27 Understanding Betrayal and Addiction44:05 The Importance of Parental Involvement48:29 Steven's Excommunication and Re-baptism01:02:01 The Power of True DoctrineCozy 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.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
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 Moment01:53 The Prodigal Party03:25 Personal Prodigal Stories13:12 The Role of a Judge18:58 Gospel Tangents and Celestial Slingshots32:05 The Fortunate Fall35:45 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsMemor 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.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"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."If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
"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 Prayer04:49 Carla's Rebellious Youth09:28 Struggles with Addiction13:42 Family Turmoil and Separation20:12 A Mother's Desperation21:13 A Prayer for Help23:50 A New Beginning25:24 First Steps in Faith30:12 A Son's Redemption38:19 Gratitude and ReflectionCozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
" Becoming a mom just was this huge invitation to try again, see the world in such a more beautiful and dynamic way.

"My testimony evolved a lot after I became a father. I could now relate in a different way than I'd ever understood before to what I think our Heavenly Father views with us in the trials that we go through. I think He is up at night, tears in His eyes sobbing because He knows the pain that we're going through, but He also knows that we need to go through it. The pain is part of what teaches us so much.

"I'm a feminist theologian who was excommunicated and I'd been a Gnostic Christian for 15 years. I didn't know where to start. We let Christ, the living bridge be the bridge between us. We didn't presume to come from our own perspectives. You know, I was saying things like. "Well, you know, I was excommunicated. Do we need to go back and revisit all of that?" And they said, "No, no. All we care about is your relationship with Christ. Tell us about your faith and your relationship with Christ and with God." And so I did and we just turned it over to God and prayed and then it was beautiful. This is what's hard for a lot of my friends and a lot of feminists to understand. Like, was I recapitulating? Was I surrendering? Was I giving up my feminism? No. They never asked me to recant or give up anything. We were exploring a new relationship between feminists and church leaders. I saw them as my brothers. They were like pillars. They were so loving and so kind, and it was just utterly healing." 00:00 Excommunicated over Women's Studies04:39 Maxine's Historical and Theological Journey15:00 Excommunication and Its Impact20:26 Exploring Other Faiths and Gnostic Christianity32:10 Divine Feminine in LDS Doctrine35:03 Returning to the Church38:09 Feminism and Healing46:58 Experiencing the Body of ChristLatter day MatchMaker Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/memor jewelry - 10% Discount code: COMEBACKhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell





Please give me the book list of his readings!
I really appreciate the ASL interpretation! one of my best friends is deaf and I listen to this podcast every week so I was thrilled to be able to share it with her!
I relate to this story so much. 🩷
For someone who is experiencing similar things now, do you think it would be helpful to share this podcast with them or would it be like telling them "the devil's got them"?
thank you for your story. it makes me think there may be some hope. someday. 🙏
We need more broken people that are aware they are just as broken as everyone else! Having members who have "obvious" sins are so refreshing to me. Those are my people!
Wow!! Wonderful episode! Brooke, you are amazing. Thank you so much for being honest, sincere, vulnerable. I loved your analogy of the church being a living organism, a living plant v. a fake plant. It's so nice to know that there's space in this faith for our doubts, our ups and downs. your insight and perspective and advice were spot on. Everyone should listen to this. Cheers from slovenia🇸🇮💙

my son went through this at 16 months. It was the hardest time of my life as a mom watching my baby suffer. He is now almost 12. He is almost 100% recovered but it has been a journey. Thanks for sharing 💗
I loved this episode! This will give hope and understanding to many. thanks for sharing your story, Todd.
These podcasts are pure gold!
