Elise Read the CES Letter, Lost Her Testimony, and Asked for a Divorce… Then Everything Changed

“God is aware of you, aware of your doubts. He knows and understands you, and He wants to hear from you. He wants you to pray. I also want you to know that the Savior, He is there and He is real, and the atonement is big enough to handle all of your truth, all of your sin, everything. So when you’re ready, you just lay it on the table and you pray and you tell the truth and get all of it off of your back, and it’s such a relief.”

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.
