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

Dallin’s teen years were filled with addiction, now his story brings hope to parents everywhere
“I find so much incredible joy in serving the temple. And in this position, it has been mind blowing to me just the amount of testimony I’ve gained. And seeing people in their hard situations and now understanding that everybody’s situation’s hard. We don’t see it ’cause they all hide it. Right? And we just need to let God in. We need to let Him approach us. And we all need to be that for somebody else.

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.

Carla’s live podcast: How Jesus Christ ran into darkness to rescue a lost mother and save a family
“I was like, I’m doing this. And then I remembered, this is my mom’s church. I was like, oh no. Anything but that, she can’t be right! And then I looked at myself and I just thought how am I gonna sit in Relief Society looking like this? You can’t ask me to do that. That’s too much, they ask a lot of you in that church, and I don’t think I could do this. But if it meant saving my children then I was all aboard. I didn’t care. Nobody could push me away. Nobody could take away the fact that I was just heard and I was just saved and I didn’t deserve any of it. I was an awful, awful person all the things that I did. And there was my Savior there, running into the flames to rescue me. And not only just me, but he was there to help me save my family. And so from that day on, I just vowed. I was like, that’s it. This is what I’m doing. I’m doing it all and I’m gonna do it full force.” 00:00 A Desperate Prayer 04:49 Carla’s Rebellious Youth 09:28 Struggles with Addiction 13:42 Family Turmoil and Separation 20:12 A Mother’s Desperation 21:13 A Prayer for Help 23:50 A New Beginning 25:24 First Steps in Faith 30:12 A Son’s Redemption 38:19 Gratitude and Reflection Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Mike’s Auto Shack Home 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
Once an ex-mo content creator attacking the church, Lia is now an endowed disciple of Jesus Christ
“If there are some of you who have been tricked into the conviction that you have gone too far, that you have had the poison of sin, which makes it impossible ever again to be what you could have been then hear me – I bear testimony that you cannot sink further than the light and sweeping intelligence of Jesus Christ. I bear testimony that as long as there is one spark of the will to repent and to reach, He is there. He did not just descend to your condition. He descended below it that He might be in all and through all things, the Light of Truth.” Jason Coombs free webclass, ‘The Secret to Sobriety: How to Break Your Son’s Addiction Without Paying $30,000 for Rehab’, Register for this free webclass here: https://www.liveunhooked.com/register Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com 00:00 A Personal Mission of Rebellion 07:25 Lia’s Background and Early Life 12:26 Struggles with Mental Health and Faith 28:54 Embracing Ex-Mormon Content 30:10 Turning to Opioids and a New Church 43:59 Rediscovering Her Patriarchal Blessing 44:55 Returning to the Temple 48:12 Messages of Hope 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
Jasmin Rappleye: Polygamy, New Garments, Temples, and defending the church on social media in 2025
“ I think studying a little bit about a hard topic can be more dangerous than studying a lot about a hard topic because there’s so much more under the iceberg that can help contextualize what’s going on. And so I would definitely say if you’re struggling, don’t be afraid of the hard questions, but just do it with an approach of faith, hope, and charity. Take a deep breath, make sure you take your time and are doing it in a mindset where you are prepared to tackle these in a rational, reasonable, and faith filled way. But probably more importantly, I ultimately don’t think that study and rational thinking is what really keeps people in the church. It really is having a relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s those spiritual moments that make us realize that this is true, that this is good, that this is something that is going to bring so much meaning and beauty into my life and this is gonna bring me closer to God than anything else.” – Recommended sources for hard questions: https://mormonr.org/ Home Page https://scripturecentral.org/ http://www.youtube.com/@churchhistorymatterspodcast Jasmin’s instagram: jasminrappleye – Episode Sponsor: Serve Clothing Website: https://www.comebackpodcast.org Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/come.back.podcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085100628137 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Come_Back_Pod Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@come.back.podcast 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
Josh’s story of turning his back on Christ, only to one day realize…..Jesus never left him
“ I remember the last thing that he landed on was talking about Jesus Christ, and I just remember thinking like, oh my gosh, like, what am I doing? How am I doing this by myself? How am I thinking I can possibly get through this crazy time in my life… How am I doing this alone? So I said, you know what, I’m going to read the Book of Mormon, everything revolves around this book, right? Let’s see what it’s actually about.” Website: https://www.comebackpodcast.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/come.back.podcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085100628137 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Come_Back_Pod Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@come.back.podcast 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 Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
