As I stay “active”, but sometimes barely holding onto any true belief of or in an in control loving deity, struggling with addiction, frustration, uncertainty, anger in myself and others, scared for my kids and family trying to make it in these times, I come back to this podcast and hear strong spiritual messages like this. So much truth of the could be the spirit here. I hope that what I feel is the spirit. I want it to be, that’s for sure. ❤
I’m coming back to the church after 38 years! Ashly, thanks so much for your podcasts! In another one you mentioned choosing not to smoke cigarettes anymore and I am struggling with that right now. I keep procrastinating and putting off quitting but I feel that the Lord wants me to. I hope I can follow your example!
I can relate to so much of your experience! I learned to never take my membership in the church for granted! I’m thankful every single day that, by the grace of God, I can belong to His church!!
I bumped into an anti Mormon channel and it was so dark and negative. But then, I found this wonderful story of hope, light and goodness. Thank you for your inspiring story! ☀️💕🙏🏻
The comment about you need to really want to know the truth. Is so true, I returned to the church in Oct 1971 after being inactive for 6 years. I met and fell for a lovely girl who died the day after I asked her to marry me. I spent two months pondering what was true and what did the church have and was that true. Then I read the Book of Mormon, thru in late Oct. When I finished, I wanted more than anything else to know truth. God answered my prayer unmistakably with a witness that continues to this day.
Thank you for sharing your experience of overcoming the discouragement you felt from that bishop. I have a leadership calling in the church and worry that something I do or say will hurt someone’s testimony. This is a good reminder that everyone is responsible for both extending and accepting grace. Thank you! ❤
I know I say this about all your podcasts but I absolutely LOVED Lauren! Her laugh is so infectious! I couldn't help myself giggling along with her! And weeping with her as well. God bless you Lauren for sharing your experiences! ❤️❤️❤️ It's easy to see why you are such good friends! Who wouldn't love you girls?!!!
I love how God gave her the witness she was yearning for while she was in the midst of telling someone else about it- her brother. 💖 That’s the critical piece. There’s a lot to love about this. Thank you both so much !🙏😇😇
I am so grateful that all of you have decided to stand up for Jesus Christ, and not giving a darn what the world says, to me that is fabulous. Great job!
You ladies are so wonderful! Thank you for all you are doing to spread the good news of the gospel and Jesus Christ 🤍Sending you both love and goodness on your journey’s 💓💓💓
Enjoying this podcast!! It’ll help many people. It’s about human stories in the church we don’t hear often enough. Keep up the great work, don’t stop!!
I love how Lauren said that if you really want to know the truth, you have to let go of your own thoughts and biases. You have to surrender to God and desire to understand Him. I haven’t left the Church, but this advice has been key for me in searching for answers about issues in Church history, etc. As I became more humble and submissive (Mosiah 3:19), I received spiritual answers from God that resolved my questions. I wouldn’t trade the answers I’ve received for anything.
Thanks Ashly for bringing Lauren’s inspiring story. I think Lauren is very blessed she was able to so easily walk away from her past, unlike her Dad who will no doubt be forever haunted by his choices. Perhaps she was blessed so she would not suffer because of the poor choices of her parents.
Lauren here! I am the editor of the podcast and run the RUclips channel. Thanks for listening and commenting. I will say it is hard to fit all the details of someone's life story into one hour. There was a lot of suffering and consequences that I endured because of my own choices and because of my parent's. It took a lot of work and discipline for me to do what I did. I apologize if I made it come across as an easy feat to walk away from my old life and strain family relationships, but it was lonely and very difficult. I carried guilt and shame for a long time until Christ finally helped me forgive myself, that is what the atonement is about and he can do the same for my father. We don't have to be haunted by our past but we can still remember in order to learn lessons and use those lessons to help others and make better choices. It doesn't mean we don't regret things, but Christ truly can break the chains of the past for us.
@@Come.Back.Podcast thanks Lauren for taking the time to reply! I did not mean to minimise your experience of repentance. It’s great to read more about your experience with the atonement. It struck me when you said in the podcast that you don’t have an addictive personality. In contrast with your Dad who had his life ruined by drugs and alcohol. Some people are fortunate and can walk away from these things relatively unscathed. I hope your Dad is doing much better now.
@@Come.Back.Podcast srry, there was another RUclipsr also named Lauren Rose who had a presence on here and spoke about dissident right issues, I guess you’re an entirely different person
@@DiffQ_Bro I don't live in Utah many states away.The suicide rate in Utah by young people has reached everywhere. Why do Mormons have so much self pride? It is of the devil. That false pride is no damn good
When you seek answers from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible, God can't help you because you have turned your back on Him. Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 11:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you signs and wonders to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in MATTHEW 24:23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? A. Your jesus of the Book of Mormon, who is the brother of Satan. OR B. The Jesus of the Bible, who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.
Yes Sir I agree however the brainwashing is so heavy. I have had debates with Muslims going better and that is saying something. They will at least try to see what you are saying. If R Nelson their prophet told them to cash out every dime they had drop it off before boarding the spaceship to Kolab they would do it. It is so sad
@racealexander1660 You and the Mormon church believes that your jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.

Keep on holding on, God is with you every single step of the way. We are rooting for you all the way from Miami.
Hang on. It's worth it. God is rooting for you too. When you want it, you'll make it. He'll make sure.
Thank you ladies 🙏🙏🙏

Wow that’s profound, 👏🏼 clap, keep on keeping on. Thanks for sharing
This was awesome. Thank you for such a thoughtful, thorough and touching (interspersed with some profundities) story. I’m inspired.
Thank you, that really means a lot

Glad to finally hear Lauren’s story, you guys make a power team!
Thank you so much!
Why did Lauren delete her RUclips channel?
Lauren here, not sure what RUclips channel you are referring to? This channel is the only RUclips channel I have ever ran...
@@Come.Back.Podcast srry, there was another RUclipsr also named Lauren Rose who had a presence on here and spoke about dissident right issues, I guess you’re an entirely different person
Therapists in Utah are telling people which church to go / not go? That's troubling.
Isn't the self harm off the charts in Utah? Wonder why huh....
@@andreatimmers1720 of by self harm you mean live 10 years longer than average, yes.

Try writing something new next time. I believe in the real Jesus. Not the invented from a made up concept of the trinity.
