Brandon Avoided a Mission, Joined the Military, Got Divorced & Lost Faith- Then God Brought Him Back
Mar 1500:48:00Tap to summarize" My faith has been completely restored, and more than I could ever imagine. For me to be at this point in my life- where I was and where I saw where I was, it was just so crazy to me. And I always tell everybody when they ask about how I feel about me coming back- God had a plan for me just as He does for everybody. And it sucks that my plan and my path was as hard as it could have been. But ultimately, I know in my heart of hearts that He knew I would come back to church at this time and everything, and that was His plan for me."00:00 Dark Place after Divorce02:52 Meet Brandon05:29 High School Drift17:31 Marriage Ends and Faith Crashes21:19 Grace and Unexpected Pregnancy26:46 Prayer to Return29:23 Repentance Is Change40:25 Purpose Is CoolMemor 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 fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/233109071625046For 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

Mar 800:34:43Tap to summarize"I feel like if we could just look around to the people in our communities and the people that that need us, it takes away like the I factor and it becomes we. And as soon as you do that, no matter where you're at in your life, whether you're a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whether you're Catholic, whether you're agnostic- as soon as you look out to others and find a way to help people, you can't help but feel the Spirit."00:00 Too Much Pressure05:00 Two Faiths At Home06:13 Mom’s Faithful Example12:03 Catholic Confirmation Interview16:05 Truth In Other Religions20:05 Parents And Mixed Faith Marriage23:45 Foster Care And Service Mindset Shift31:35 Final Testimony And FarewellMemor 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 fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/233109071625046For 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

Feb 2200:53:42Tap to summarizeThis is a replay of a story shared in 2024. " The foundation of my testimony was the doctrine of the church is right. The way we understand the plan of salvation and eternal progression and all of the things that make us different from mainstream Christianity, I knew to be true based on my reading of the scriptures and praying about it. I was really given a strong testimony of it. And because of that it was like all of the messy history, all the things that the anti-Mormons love to use to sow doubt and stuff, that was all downstream from that. It was like, well, none of that changes that the doctrine is what my testimony is, and I believe the doctrine is true."00:00 Terrifying Night05:41 Meet Kelsey06:16 Leaving the Church at 1211:22 New Age Deep Dive to Breaking Point26:42 Love Rekindled: Seeing Your Spouse with New Eyes28:22 Calling on Jesus & the Reality of Spiritual Warfare38:00 Testimony of Doctrine, Temple Endowment, and Family Support46:06 New Age as a Counterfeit: Stay Focused on Christ 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 fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/233109071625046For 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

Feb 800:49:30Tap to summarize" The moment I stepped out of that Bishop's office, those cravings were gone. I went through three rehabs in my lifetime. I would go to AA meetings. When I got clean, I hated going to the meetings because they just made me feel guilty. Like you have this disease you're gonna carry with you the rest of your life. Well I don't.

Feb 100:57:41Tap to summarize"It doesn't matter where you are on the path, it just matters which direction you're facing. I honestly wish I could say that my life is perfect, and since I've gone back to the temple everything has just fallen into place for me. There are times when I kill my sense of joy by comparing myself to other people, but I have to remind myself that it's okay where I'm at.

Transcribe →The Church felt restrictive for Chase's lifestyle until his heart changed and he let Jesus Christ in
Jan 2500:51:56Tap to summarize"If you want answers, they are out there. But the one thing that I have learned is who do you have a testimony in? If you have a testimony in the church, if you have a testimony in the missionaries, in anything other than Jesus, it's going to fail you and you're going to fall. But if you have a testimony in Jesus and you really do believe that this is His church, all of those things-they'll pale. And when it's time for you to find those answers, you will find those answers. God works that way, line upon line, precept upon precept."00:00 Introduction and Personal Beliefs01:42 Welcoming Chase to the Podcast11:29 Post-Mission Life and Rebellion14:27 Life in the Mountains and Personal Realizations22:17 The Miracle and Reconnecting with Faith25:26 The Experiment Begins34:06 Struggles and Realizations40:22 Understanding Celestial ThinkingMemor 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

Jan 1800:56:23Tap to summarize"Never judge a book by its cover. Because I'm covered with tattoos. You know, I got tattoos all over my neck, everywhere I'm covered. Don't ever look down on nobody. The only time you look down at somebody is if you have a hand stretched out to help the person up. Just like my Savior had His hand stretched out to me. For so long. Finally I grasped ahold of His hand and He lifted me right outta my darkness, and now my light can shine. It's my prayer and my hope now that people want to know Christ because they know me."00:00 Introduction and Early Struggles03:02 Troy's Early Life and Conversion13:38 Descent into Addiction16:38 Legal Troubles and Incarceration28:36 Baptism and Reconciliation30:57 Challenges and Misunderstandings32:37 Seeking Guidance and Support37:47 Restoration of Blessings40:07 Temple Experiences42:38 Sharing the Journey48:43 Final Reflections and GratitudeMemor 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
