Marley’s Faith Crisis Pulled Her Away from the Church….and Why She Decided to Stay
“ The answer to every question or concern that anybody ever has is that it will all be okay because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. That is what it’s for. That is why they say the first principle of the gospel is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is real life.

Kiaya Was a Heroin Addict for 10 Years…A Cop Made Her a Promise, and Jesus Did the Rest
“No matter where you’re at or what you’re doing or what you feel about yourself, I promise you that you can have a bright and better future for yourself. All you have to do is decide wherever you are or wherever you’re at spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, that you can choose for yourself to have a better day. That this could be the best day of your life, that this day you can choose to do something different with your life. Whatever you’re struggling with, it doesn’t have to be as serious as what I’ve struggled with, you can choose better for yourself, and that’s exactly what your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ want for you. They want you to be happy and have a good life, and have a loving relationship, and have a family, and things like that. Whatever righteous desires of your heart, that’s what they want for you, and you deserve it, no matter what you’ve done in your past.” – 00:00 Rock Bottom 00:31 Come Back Event Invite 04:28 Bullying After Move To Utah 06:52 Abuse & Addiction Spiral 19:57 Jail Wake Up Call 28:34 Church & Confession 33:23 Motherhood & Temple Blessings 37:01 Atonement Of Jesus Christ Is Real – Tickets to the Come Back to Christ Event: www.comebackpodcast.org – Mike’s Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please submit here:https://comebackpodcast.org/submissions/For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com – Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

Matthew Struggled with Same-Sex Attraction, was Excommunicated, then Found Freedom in Jesus Christ
“ When I rooted my identity in the Lord like I never have before, I realized that I am not the carnal desires of my body… “Therefore, crucify the lusts of the flesh and walk in the spirit.” (Gal 5:5). As I’ve done that, I have come to realize full-heartedly, I am not my sexuality.. in the scriptures it says freedom comes where the spirit of the Lord is, and freedom comes when sin is no longer your master. I have experienced freedom from same-sex attraction. It doesn’t mean that God came and removed the thorn in my side, but it means that when I walk in His Spirit, I can stand immovable and unwavering in the face of temptation as Jesus did.” – Follow Matthew on socials: @mattrichardson.official on Instagram – 00:00 Paralyzed By Blackmail 06:35 Teen Years And Inner Turmoil 14:33 Identity Shattered 18:43 Mission Highs And Dark Relapse 26:50 Divorce and Dark Spiral 32:25 Rock Bottom to Scripture Routine 38:49 Deliverance and New Life 46:05 Baptism Miracle – Tickets to the Come Back to Christ Event: www.comebackpodcast.org Mike’s Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ – If you have a story to share please submit here: https://comebackpodcast.org/submissions/ – For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com – Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
Bee Knew Something Was Off in Her Marriage…It Led Her Back to Jesus Christ
“We have a Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ who love us, and we’re good enough. Nobody gets to tell us who we are, including ourselves when it’s terrible.
