" 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. The Savior took that from me. He took it from me, and I don't have to worry."00:00 Struggling with Guilt04:11 Teenage Rebellion and First Experiences with Drugs10:05 Post-Mission Struggles and First Marriage11:40 Descent into Addiction and Legal Troubles27:43 Reuniting with Family After Prison31:27 Starting the Repentance Process35:50 Finding Love and Building a Family39:16 Reflecting on TransformationMemor 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 [email protected] Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

 "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. And just like in the creation on the second day, the third day, it is still good. We are still good, and God still sees us as good. Even when we're just messes."00:00 A Terrifying Encounter05:15 Marriage and Motherhood09:06 Dating Challenges and Disillusionment26:23 Struggles with Faith and Sobriety34:35 A Miraculous Answer39:52 Pursuing Higher Education44:23 Returning to the Temple49:58 Finding Peace and PurposeMemor 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 [email protected] Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

"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 [email protected] inquiries contact [email protected] Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

"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 [email protected] inquiries contact [email protected] Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

"I'm done doing these things alone. I'm ready to submit to your will. Like, I'm gonna let go of all my beliefs, all the things I think I know. I'm gonna let go of all of that, and I just want You to guide me forward. I told Him, I don't know if this church is true, but it's where I feel comfortable. So just show me. Like, be with me. Show me, let me know I'm going the right direction."00:00 Kristin's Personal Struggles06:04 Struggles with Faith and Church Attendance12:14 Turning to Alcohol and Personal Challenges19:22 Husband Coming Out and Personal Downfall37:04 Struggles with a Controlling Partner43:42 A Lifeline and a Prayer56:22 Finding Love and Sharing the JourneyMemor 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 [email protected] inquiries contact [email protected] Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell
