Church history and traumatic loss turned Julie away from God…then she started to see the miracles
“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.” — Facebook Group: LDS Spiritual Experiences, Miracles, Tender Mercies, and Conversion Stories — Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10%: //memorjewelry.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15%: //serveclothing.com/ If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Assistant Editor: Britt Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell

Parental discretion is advised. “I was driving home and I was so angry at Steven and at God and at myself and just feeling like an idiot. I was like, ‘I can’t do this, I’m so mad,’ but my brother asked me to turn on Conference. And he’s trying so hard on his mission. He’s such a good missionary that I’m just gonna do it. So while I was driving home to our apartment in Provo to say our marriage is over, the talk that was on at that exact moment was Elder Gong’s talk called ‘Trust Again’ and the Spirit came over me so strongly and told me you can trust him again. The whole talk was about various forms of betrayal — specifically marriage problems and pornography. A lot of trust with your spouse was talked about and the spirit spoke so strong that our marriage could be mended. So instead of driving all the way home to Provo I got off on the Lehi exit where he was watching Conference with his family and I said ‘Okay, I’m ready to talk. I am in a better place.’” Come Back Team: Director, Founder & Host: Ashly Stone Producer and Senior Editor: Lauren Rose Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Editor: Michelle Berger Art Director: Jeremy Garcia
Shannah grew up in an unstable environment and left the church at a young age. Fifteen years later she re-enters the waters of baptism.
“The community is really awesome and going to school is really awesome. But I’m happier now because I have a healed, happy, healthy, strong relationship with Jesus Christ and with Heavenly Father. I have peace in a way I never had before. I did a lot of healing from my traumas on my own in secular therapy but this has brought me beyond healing, it’s brought me to hope and trust. That’s why I’m happier, it’s just been so amazing. The saying is true, you do become a new creature in Christ. I still look at the things I’m doing and am surprised.” Come Back Team: Director, Founder & Host: Ashly Stone Producer and Senior Editor: Lauren Rose Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Editor: Michelle Berger Art Director: Jeremy Garcia
