"I still remember the very day that I was with my family again for the first time when my wife decided that was ok. We went to Hogle Zoo in the dead of winter in January. It was one of the most beautiful memories I have ever had. I can still picture it so vividly. We were almost the only ones at the zoo, the snow was lightly falling, and it was such a spiritual and beautiful moment. I looked at my wife and my two boys and I was thinking I know this is what I want. I started to have that celestial mindset which shifted my whole perspective on life and how I live it now."

Yes, we need to hear your stories! I have not gone away from the church ever, but my children have turned their back to Jesus Christ, and to hear Justin’s story, returning to God, helps me understand one of them more. He has a pure heart just like you, Justin! Thank you !
“The grass is never greener on the other side. It’s only greener where you water it”. LOVE THAT. ♥️
I served my mission with Justin (Elder Brey). He served an honorable mission. He was one of the first missionaries I lived with. He is a great Dad and friend. He is an incredible man. On our mission he always said he wanted a handle bar mustache and to be jacked! More manifestations, Haha! He is one of the funniest guys that is so casual about how funny he is, I love it! I love the group he started called, Heare. I hope that we can support this group and share it with others to help those men that are struggling silently by themselves.
Ashly is also a great friend of ours. She is so genuine and kind. We lived as neighbors for a while and we developed a great friendship with her family. I am so grateful that she started this podcast to help inspire people to come back to Christ.

thanks bro!
I love how Justin said that his top goal became to get his family back, once he realized that the things he was doing to try to be happy were having the opposite effect. But even when he realized what was most important, his wife still said, "It's not going to happen." And then he realized, that whether or not he got his family back, he still needed and would benefit from turning his life over to God. And after returning to God, and working through a lot of issues, and becoming a better person, without begging or expectation, his family returned to him. So awesome! Thanks for sharing.
With the demoralization of Hollywood, entertainment is scarce these days.. I'm getting the idea of Friday night comeback podcast and popcorn.. just to wind down. I enjoy these stories so much.. these people are amazing.. and that's putting it lightly.. keep em coming
Exactly, Heavenly Father is in charge.
This was beautiful to listen to. We are all different and imperfect. I love what was said about the grass is green when/ where you water it. When our focus is on the savior everything else works out. Not always easy but always worth it.
Beautiful.
Everything about this is beautiful.
One of the major things I appreciated about being a member of the Church is the honesty, vunerability and the sharing of our spiritual failures and successes. I never had that sense of community and support before. It has enriched my spiritual progress to share these things with my brothers and sisters. Thank you both for sharing. It helps to know we are striving together to keep on the path Heavenly Father has set for us. Thinking Celestial and keeping in gratitude is a daily effort that will pay off for us all.
I am so glad Justin shared his story. It is so refreshing hearing that he wanted his family back and was willing to do whatever it took. So true when 2 healthy people come together in the gospel, the sky is the limit.
So happy his wife humbled herself and theyvare together. Interesting thing about "normal people problems." That's powerful.
I loved how you said being part of a church full of sober people is a blessing. It shows how the Word of Wisdom is "adapted to the capacity of the weak and the weakest of all saints"
Thanks for your story Justin! So glad you came back!
Thanks for sharing your story Justin what a great show! I’m so glad that your brother called you when you were planning on ending your life. What a blessing!
I’ve lost two cousins from suicide and they were my pals and miss them so much! But I do believe in the Atonement of Jesus Christ and I will see them again because of him!
So many struggle with mental Heath ands it’s shows like this that help others share and relate to others! Thanks for all you do
I love your podcasts Ashley. It's so good to be able to hear people's unfiltered stories. Thankyou for providing this space where we can all share our journey. It has been such a blessing in my life. That is exactly what I had to do. Put my faith where it belongs. In Jesus Christ. Start of second edit: this dude hit on so many topics and issues that resonated with me so much. Again, thankyou.
Watching this broadcast is so uplifting to me, and timely. Sister Stone, I enjoyed your comment about being around sober people in Church, and you know they are trying to love everyone. People in our church generally understand what Jesus did for us. We love Jesus. and feel it a pleasure to serve him, I am so thankful for that. I was like 24 when I became a member. One thing I remember thinking, how could a faith group be so influential to ask people to keep the word of wisdom? My experience had been, faith groups continuing to lower their standards to keep their numbers up. God bless you two for sharing.
Thank you, Justin❤❤❤. Thank you for this Great Podcast🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for your podcast and for the most amazing guests that you have. All the best to Justin and everyone coming back to church.❤️💕💕🙏🙏😋
Fetch - amazing stuff! Seriously, I love listening to these genuine people, who aren’t afraid to open up, tell their stories, and speak of things as they really are 🌞
Thanks for sharing!
I get what Chris is saying... I was on meth for over 30 yrs, and even when I was on it, I stayed close to the God and the churchs doctrines (even though I wasn't following any) Through those years God kept me safe until I came to my senses to get clean a few years ago. I was spared so many times thru my drug addiction and drug environment. I always believed in God & the LDS doctrine. Believe it or not, I converted one of my drug friends when we got sober. Crazy how life is ....❤
Another wonderful & inspiring podcast! Thank You Justin & Ashley!
So inspiring
I am glad for you.
This was awesome! I love these stories of how lives get so much better after they Come Back! 💪🏻
Thank you for sharing your story Justin. It’s amazes me who closely all of our stories are. Glad your back. Glad to see more of us tattooed members loving the gospel of Jesus Christ. No judgements just pure love of your neighbor no matter their pronouns just putting love.
This guy looks so cool!
I like listening to your podcast. Keep up the good work I bet heavenly Father is very very pleased with you
It wasn’t until my brother took his own life that I learned 70-80% of suicides were men. Teens and women matter too, and still need attention… I feel Men aren’t getting enough help. ❤ I’ll look into your company!
My niece committed suicide she blew her brains out. That was about five or six years ago
@@christinesammons8488 very unfortunate description. It’s a terrible way to lose someone.
Not only 'Unfortunate' is the description, but also insensitive and cruel to those of us who have suffered the loss of a loved one in such a manner. Hopefully one would use their words more prudently.
@@thomaslarson2970I was trying to be kind as we don’t know what Christine is going through. We can say things in a hurtful way when we are hurting.
Yes, that’s a very insensitive approach. Hugs to you
More women attempt but more men are successful
Amen❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤
Powerful❤️☀️
8:05 minute mark was the best part/realization. Thank you for sharing your story!
If a teacher makes a mistake they are still a teacher, if a prophet makes a mistake they are still a prophet.
I think it's really great how they're centering their testimonies on Christ. I knew from the beginning of my conversion story that the Church isn't perfect, men aren't perfect, Christians aren't perfect. Our Church's culture does project very high expectations. But I just take that as more testimony-building, because I think it's right that God requires things of us. I've been in lots of arguments with people about what Salvation requires. Many people think that simply accepting Christ as The Savior is the only thing you need to try to do. But it's not the point of salvation, it's the Plan of Salvation. It consists of many things, & concludes with enduring to the end (which simply means keeps trying). And then it has the most beautiful, meaningful post-script of all time: We will fail, and Christ performed The Atonement so that no matter what our short-comings, His Grace will fill the gap between our best efforts and being worthy to enter the Celestial Kingdom!
Nice facial hair 🌞
Family history/research will help with boredom. Who are your ancestors? What were they like? What would they say to you?
From Hebrews 6:
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”
I'm to be brief.
I more read the scriptures and do my own study of church history itself the less concerns I have. I'm +15 years into study and the problem I see if that people stop asking questions and accept certain narratives.
Of course not everyone has 3 hours a day to consume scriptural content or read the scriptures because people need to work for a living, but as a current EQP I can tell you that ONLY spiritual experiences bring people back to church.
The Lord God of Israel is powerful to save His children for those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit.
Yes! The focus should be on Christ and our relationship with him, not so much on leader worship.
How weird that they didn't want you to volunteer playing music for the older people.
