Founded by Ashly Stone, Come Back was created to share real stories of faith, recovery, and return within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Inspired by her own journey through addiction and healing, the podcast highlights the hope, redemption, and new beginnings made possible through Jesus Christ.
Each episode features honest, personal experiences from individuals who have found their way back after seasons of struggle, doubt, or distance. In a world often filled with negativity and division, Come Back exists to offer uplifting stories that testify of the Savior’s grace and the power of choosing to begin again.
Our logo – created by Jeremy Garcia – was born from the desire to embody something with a rich and deep meaning. Both Christianity as a whole and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a long history of using symbolism in architecture, clothing, and design. The color gradient was employed to mimic the stories of the guests as they similarly progress from darkness into the light of faith. The shapes of the sun, moon, and star found within the mark are used to direct our heart and mind heavenward to God the Father and remind us of our own eternal origins and significance. The octagonal shape forms eight points. The number eight is found all throughout scripture and often signifies renewal, a new beginning, and hope– specifically, hope through the Savior Jesus Christ. This is especially meaningful as a nod to all of the stories of change and renewal that are shared on the podcast, as well as the hope of Jesus Christ that the stories impart to all who listen.
