Come Back Podcast

"  Coming back to reclaim my life, it was line upon line. That was not a quick process. Between when I started my mission to getting healed...I was a different person. In a sense that's how my mission turned out. It turned out differently than I thought, but I wouldn't take it back because of the blessings that have come from it."

" When I rooted my identity in the Lord like I never have before, I realized that I am not the carnal desires of my body... "Therefore, crucify the lusts of the flesh and walk in the spirit." (Gal 5:5). As I've done that, I have come to realize full-heartedly, I am not my sexuality... In the scriptures it says freedom comes where the spirit of the Lord is, and freedom comes when sin is no longer your master. I have experienced free...

"We have a Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ who love us, and we're good enough. Nobody gets to tell us who we are, including ourselves when it's terrible. Because Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ's opinion is the only thing that matters. I'm learning to really take that on and to really know for myself that it doesn't matter what anybody thinks of me but them, and as long as I'm trying my best, it's okay."

" No amount of scripture reading, praying, mission serving, nitpicking your husbanding is going to save you. It's not. Having a relationship with your Savior, Jesus Christ, and your Heavenly Father will. If you know that they love you, and if you let that in, it will change your life in a way that nothing else will."

"Life is so much better with the gospel. It's not necessarily easy. And especially anyone that's struggling with mental health or addiction or maybe just feeling less-than. I would just say the gospel brings so much joy and happiness when you actually live it. I always tell people that ask me how did I do it. I literally had to give up almost every habit that I had. I had to turn my whole life around. I had to go from the adversary...

" But it has come to the point where I know who God is, and I know what He feels like, and I know that I feel Him in the places that I go regarding the church. I know that what I have found is true because of that, and I will continue to have questions the rest of my life, and that's okay."

"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."

"That just fills my heart with such love for Jesus Christ, that He would do that, that He would descend below me. I mean, it kind of scares me that He had to go through that much, but I just am so thankful for Him and what He has done for me. I just truly have had a change of heart."

"I didn't think happiness existed in this capacity whatsoever. I'm so grateful that I never gave up. I encourage anybody listening who even considers giving up, don't do it. I promise you that there's good things to come, and grander than you could ever imagine. But you have to grow close to your Savior, and that doesn't mean you have to be doing all the right things. I'm just saying talk to Him and lean on Him and seek His presenc...

"I just believe that God is found in the messiness. We just need to have faith that even when it makes no sense and nothing seems to be working, that it's in that very messiness that He will find us. That's how it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be clean and linear. It's meandering and messy and crazy, and then He reaches through the fog of that, and He finds us."

"When things don't go the way you think they should or fit in the box, it's so easy to feel like, oh I failed, or God doesn't love me, or things like that. But that is not true.

"The choice to stay and the choice to keep your faith in Christ is so vital. Especially when things don't go your way or they don't make sense, it's so easy to just fall into this mindset of not believing anymore or talking yourself out of the miracles you've experienced or the prayers that have been answered and experiences you've had. That choice is just beyond powerful."

And not only is it bearable and possible, but it’s glorious, and even the very worst of those times that those trials, Heavenly Father has a plan for us.”
