Brittany never felt the Spirit and left the LDS church, but God never forgot her and brought her back
“I’m no longer scared to go to the temple after reading the Book of Mormon and knowing what it means… It has 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 Experience 09:23 Disconnect from the Church 14:47 Reconnecting with My Father 18:58 Chloe’s Baptism and Its Impact 28:53 Breaking Down and Seeking Help 31:58 A Life-Changing Blessing 41:20 Temple Work and Family Connections Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.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.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 Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
Jared Halverson on consecrating your faith crisis..”Jesus takes brokenness and turns it into beauty”
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 Moment 01:53 The Prodigal Party 03:25 Personal Prodigal Stories 13:12 The Role of a Judge 18:58 Gospel Tangents and Celestial Slingshots 32:05 The Fortunate Fall 35:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Memor 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.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 Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
Brian’s story of missionary shame, medical miracles, and a Savior that never gave up on him
“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. Oftentimes it turns us into who we are because of how stark those lessons are.” 00:00 Struggles with Faith and Health 05:31 Health Crisis in the MTC 08:08 Struggles with Church and Faith 12:36 Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 25:29 Dealing with Resentment After Returning Home 30:37 Advice for Early Returned Missionaries 37:54 Mental Health and Youth Challenges 44:09 Perfectionism and Parental Pressure Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Mike’s Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://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 Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
From ex-mormon social media to the Temple, Emma’s gradual journey back to Jesus Christ
“ It felt like the spirit was like- ‘You have been trying to do this by yourself for so long, and I’ve been here the whole time, whether or not you choose to utilize it, I’m here the whole time and I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere. We’re gonna get through this together.’ And I needed that so bad because I had no idea how bad it was going to get.” Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ 00:00 Introduction: Overcoming Anger and Betrayal 00:46 Exciting Event Announcement 02:44 Meet Emma: The Incredible Nanny 06:43 Emma’s Background and Family 08:41 Emma’s Marriage and Faith Crisis 28:05 Finding Comfort in Faith 31:11 Understanding Agency and Divine Plan 43:06 Advice for the Divorced and Struggling 45:20 Overcoming Judgment and Anxiety If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.com For business 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 Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
Addicted to pain pills and in prison, Laura turns to God and finds that He was waiting for her all along

We can be the most horrible or the worst human. Christ still loves us and He still waits patiently for us to come back. It’s been awesome going to the temple. It’s been amazing! I ended up recently speaking at stake conference because addiction is rampant. I don’t know any household that isn’t either being touched by it in one way or another. It’s either somebody in their family or something. And I feel, almost a duty, if you will, to want to try and help. I want to help people see it differently. I’m an ex-convict. I’m a felon, you know, but those words typically have a negative connotation, right? They stand for something negative. And I think we need to teach our kids or even just within the church that you know what? Good people can also struggle.” Come Back Team: Director, Founder & Host: Ashly Stone Producer: Lauren Rose Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Editor: Cara Reed Assistant Editor: Michelle Berger Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Episode sponsor: Serve Clothing https://serveclothing.com/?gad_source=1
