Matthew Struggled with Same-Sex Attraction, was Excommunicated, then Found Freedom in Jesus Christ
6d ago00:52:12Tap to summarize" 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 freedom from same-sex attraction. It doesn't mean that God came and removed the thorn in my side, but it means that when I walk in His Spirit, I can stand immovable and unwavering in the face of temptation as Jesus did."00:00 Paralyzed By Blackmail06:35 Teen Years And Inner Turmoil14:33 Identity Shattered18:43 Mission Highs And Dark Relapse26:50 Divorce and Dark Spiral32:25 Rock Bottom to Scripture Routine38:49 Deliverance and New Life46:05 Baptism MiracleTickets to the Come Back to Christ Event: www.comebackpodcast.orgMike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve 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

2w ago00:38:06Tap to summarize"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."00:00 Trust Shattered00:37 Come Back Event Invite05:00 Childhood Abuse And Shame06:27 Fast Marriage07:21 Hidden Addiction And Poverty10:22 Hospital Help And Affair Reveal14:21 Repentance And Rebuilding16:47 Her Faith Crisis Spiral18:39 Coworker Sparks Return31:22 Importance of Helping OthersPurchase Come Back to Christ Event 2026 Tickets Here: www.comebackpodcast.orgMemor 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 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

Transcribe →Sam Gave Church One Last Chance...then Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Approached Him
Jul 500:40:53Tap 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

Jun 2100:48:58Tap 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. 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."00:00 Lonely Mixed Faith Marriage07:04 Faith Crisis And Doubts10:05 Marriage Strain And Leaving15:05 First Prayer And Return24:39 Putting Garments Back On25:32 Grace For Joseph Smith27:41 Beyond A Scared Testimony29:20 Love Those Who Leave36:19 Honest Faith And HealingMike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve 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

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. 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 presence in your life, and He will do the rest."00:00 A Stranger’s Lifeline06:13 Faith Roots and Early Signs13:23 Partying Spiral and California Call27:23 Ticket Out to BYU Idaho30:07 Jail Wake Up Call32:22 Bishop and 12 Step Struggle39:30 Hope Rescue and Sobriety47:29 New Life and TestimonyMike's Auto Shackhttps://mikesautoshack.com/Serve 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
