Religious Scrupulosity Nearly Destroyed Hayli's Faith... Until She Rediscoverd Jesus Christ
1w ago00:53:48Tap to summarize" No amount of scripture reading, praying, mission serving, nitpicking your husbanding is going to save you. It's not.

2w ago00:40:53Tap to summarize"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 to turn to the Savior, and that was not an easy task. But whenever I try to explain to people what it's been like, I say I just turned and I didn't look back."Mike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/00:00 Testimony In The Dark04:21 Two Marriages Two Divorces07:28 Spiral Into Addiction11:11 New Jersey And A Nudge15:27 Elder Holland Appears19:27 Apostolic Blessing Turning Point22:49 Rehab And Recovery Road27:14 New Life Family And FaithServe 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.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

4w ago00:48:58Tap to summarize"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.

Jun 700:59:16Tap to summarize"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.

May 1701:30:27Tap to summarize"I just believe that God is found in the messiness.
