Finding Faith Above with Exmo-Christian Coach, Shelby Hohsfield, Christian podcasts for ex-Mormons, Faith After Church Hurt, ex LDS Faith in Jesus
Have you ever felt lost trying to figure out what it really means to follow Jesus? Do you wonder if the Bible can be trusted or what exactly the gospel is? Maybe you’ve carried hurt from past religion or the LDS (Mormon) church and secretly wish there was a “Christianity for beginners” guide that made it all clear. This podcast is your safe space to take baby steps in faith and finally understand what it means to be a Christian. Inside Finding Faith Above, you’ll learn the Christian basics for new believers—who God is, why the gospel matters, and how to walk with Jesus day by day without overwhelm or confusion. If you’ve longed for peace, truth, and confidence in your relationship with Christ, this is where you’ll find it. I’m Shelby Hohsfield, a former Mormon who spent 20 years after leaving the chruch searching through religion, doubt, and confusion before finding freedom in the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I know what it feels like to start from scratch, to question everything, and to need things explained simply. That’s why I created this podcast—to walk with you as you grow in faith, learn truth from Scripture, and experience the love of Jesus for yourself. So grab your Bible and hit play. It’s time to take your first baby steps toward real faith, real freedom, and the real Jesus. xoxo, Shelby ___________________________________________________________________ ABOUT YOUR HOST Finding Faith Above is hosted by Shelby Hohsfield. Shelby grew up in a mixed-faith home and attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon or LDS) church until she was 18. As most people do when they leave the church, 85% actually, Shelby left God altogether when she left the LDS church. It wasn’t until she was pregnant with her son that God was made evident to her. From there sparked a quest to FIND FAITH, a fleeting idea that challenged her at every step. After trying all matters of religion for years, she was struck one night when some big things literally brought her to her knees- When things got super hard, it was the surrender to the one true God that changed everything about Shelby’s life, belief, and understanding of this universe we live in. After a 20-year journey after leaving the church, she finally found faith above. As Jesus asked us to do, Shelby now dedicates herself to the great commission- telling the world the good news of Jesus. ___________________________________________________________________ CONNECT WITH ME Email＞ hello@findingfaithabove.com Website＞ https://findingfaithabove.com/ FB Group＞ https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomenafterreligion Instagram＞ https://www.instagram.com/findingfaithabove/ _____________________________________________________________

Have you ever felt nervous to ask a question about your faith—worried it might make you look weak, doubtful, or like you don’t belong? Friend, let me tell you: faith is built on questions. Jesus Himself welcomed them. In fact, the most important question He ever asked was this: “Who do you say I am?” (Matthew 16:15).
In this episode, we dive into why questions are not a sign of shaky faith, but a step toward deeper trust in Jesus. ...

We are starting a new series- a new series on how God is NOT like us. Ways in which He is divine, His nature, His wrath, and His love.
How does our character reflect His? And do our limitations glorify His greatness and limitless power.
Today we are talking about the steadfast love of God.
We are loosely basing this off of Jen Wilkin's book, None Like Him.

You decide to leave the church, the beliefs, or the cultural construct of your childhood. It makes sense, right?
They tell you that you don't have enough faith. You just need to have faith and know that it will all work out.
But you don’t have faith.

We can’t help it. Today, we are all about our dreams, our plans, what we envisioned for ourselves, our life.
And we saw it going a specific way.
And if God was going to interfere, it was going to be with blessings and only blessings.
But that's not quite how life often works out, is it?
Truth is God already has a plan for us. It’s not a plan we h...

Are we just hoping for a change, a miracle, for God to step in?
Or do we believe that He will be our rock, our refuge, our sanctuary?
