" Lean into the God that you know, I will give you comfort, I will give you peace. So that's truly what I've learned through all my experiences. You know, in my deepest valleys where I was extremely fearful and guilt ridden, that I was so far gone, so far broken. Nobody would ever relate to me or understand me. I was completely cutting myself off from the one who understands this perfectly. Our Savior has felt everything that we've felt. Yeah, I will agree with people that, well, you don't understand how I'm feeling. I don't, I've never been through what you've been through, but your Savior does."

"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. We need to be the means of letting them see God's love, and acting on it." 00:00 The Devil Wants Me 08:31 Struggles with Pornography and Early Challenges 13:08 School Controversy and Social Isolation 17:12 Rebellious Teenage Years 26:17 Turning Point: Seeking Repentance 32:31 Life-Changing Spiritual Experiences 36:12 Overcoming Temptations and Challenges 40:35 Final Reflections and Gratitude Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Memor Jewelry code COMEBACK for 10% offhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

"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."

"When we are willing to submit to our Heavenly Father, he can do more with our life than we could ever want and hope to do. Sarah and I have a beautiful one-year-old tomorrow. It's been so fun and so hard, but it's so much more than what I ever could have made of with my life. And it's because of the atonement and it's because of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father and their infinite love for all of us."

"I'm no longer scared to go to the temple after reading the Book of Mormon and knowing what it means... It is 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

"Doubts don't begin as a rejection of God or his gospel, they generally emerge as a rejection of ways in which God is being characterized... So what are the expectations we bring to the table? My personal take on this is, does my faith make God present to me? Does my faith give me access to the God of truth and love? Everything else is ancillary to that question or should be, and in my case, what I find is that yes, this church does." 00:00 Choosing Faith is Courageous 05:38 Letter to a Doubter 07:31 The Role of Doubt in Faith 10:30 The True and Living Church 16:25 The Importance of Community in Faith 23:30 Addressing Culture 24:44 The Genuine Question 35:01 Rebuilding Faith from the Ground Up 42:05 The Restoration of God's Love 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

"I got some relief from the incredible fear and pain and darkness that was surrounding me when I made the decision to get honest. That was a profound experience. There's a great scripture that I actually experienced in that event, it was Alma 34:31-Yea, I would that ye would come forth and harden not your hearts any longer; for behold, now is the time and the day of your salvation; and therefore, if ye will repent and harden not your hearts, immediately will the great plan of redemption be brought about unto you. That scripture I found later in my repentance process spoke to me because I had experienced what happened when I had a change of heart. From fear of coming forward and being honest, to I will get honest. I will do whatever is required. I could lose my marriage, lose my church membership, lose my family, lose my job. All of those things were possibilities. But yet I realized that I didn't have any alternative except to get honest. And when I chose to do that, that was a changing experience for my life." https://salifeline.org https://SAL12step.org Betrayal trauma book written by Rhyll Anne Croshaw: "What Can I Do About Me?" 00:00 Life-Changing Event 03:46 Mission in New Zealand 04:28 Addressing Sexual Addiction 09:10 Personal Recovery Journey 14:57 Rhyll's Perspective 17:00 Second and Third Disclosures 34:27 Understanding Betrayal and Addiction 44:05 The Importance of Parental Involvement 48:29 Steven's Excommunication and Re-baptism 01:02:01 The Power of True Doctrine Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/ Mike's Auto Shack https://mikesautoshack.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
