“One thing that I noticed when I started coming back to church was I put my focus on who I wanted to be – instead of trying to fix who I was. Instead of trying to stop doing all of these things, it was, okay, I want to be this person. I imagined myself being a mom and a wife. I wanted a family and I thought, ‘Who is the type of person that I need to be to have those things?’ I envisioned that for myself. Then my focus just really shifted into the steps that I needed to take to be who that person was.”

Your experience matters—whether it’s still unfolding or long behind you. The Come Back Podcast exists because real people are willing to share real journeys. If you’ve stepped away from faith, wrestled with doubt, or found your way back in a way that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, we’d love to hear from you.
