Reading the Book of Mormon Daily to Overcome Addiction // Beau Enslow's Story

[@RUTired]

By their fruits ye shall know them. Interviews like this help remind me how much of a fruit of the restoration the Book of Mormon is. Truly nourishing to the soul.

[@wendycottingham8011]

The adversary wants us to feed on our feeling of failure. I started reading and praying to help a family member through the beginnings of addiction. I did it to save them and it saved me. I had been away from church for so long I felt hopeless. I had some serious revelations while reading my scriptures.

[@ScrivenArt]

I heard this a year ago and had no solutions to offer parents because, at that time, I was that parent watching addictions enslave my children. I was hurt and angry at God. I was a failure and I had done everything I was told was going to keep my children safe. Now, one year later, I learned that I need to keep myself ‘right with God.’ If I don’t stay on solid ground, where will my children go when they are looking for solid ground? It was good to hear this again.

33:12 "How do you act toward somebody that saved you so many times? Chew on that for a little bit and I think about that a lot." 😇🥰

[@Irvingdector]

These are the testimonies that I love. So real and powerful. 🙌🏽

[@joannenardoni17]

I love Book of Mormon, I love Jesus

[@pinecone7562]

There have been many men's lives changed, and good for this man! The gospel is where it's at!

[@Eternalprogressx33]

Well done Beau 🎉

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

I love what you shared about your relationship with God. And I like how often you said "oh, boy." 💛

[@skylerharrison]

So great to hear this story. I served in the same mission as Beau, he was an awesome missionary and I had no idea his back story. Thanks for putting this story out there.

[@ingreecenow]

So many people struggle with addiction and this message is needed. I believe that the Lord can heal addiction and the Book of Mormon is a powerful way to access his spirit and direction. It is such a marvelous gift and guide. It was written for our day and for the modern day challenges that surround us! Well done! 🙌😁

[@traczebabe]

The Book of Mormon has such spiritual power. We can overcome anything with Him. Even those things that we feel we were born with. Satan will always be right there when you turn to God. He doesn’t want you to come to God. Ignore all bad thoughts and keep turning to God no matter what.

[@elainekoeppel7250]

Also reading the Book of Mormon is us turning our life back to HIM

[@hillaryabplanalp]

“Not a time to be shy about what we know.” Yes!

This person has got through a true miracle and he’s sharing it 1600 views Influencers posting hatful videos about others 1 million views Videos hating the church when its anecdotes or don’t know the church 100,000 views PEOPLE NEED TO GET THERE PRIORITYS STRAIGHT!

[@cortneyholmes3839]

We just love you to pieces Beau! You were so kind to me and our family when I was having health challenges. I was so embarrassed coming to Church looking the way I did but always felt loved and accepted by you. You wrote a note on yellow notebook paper many years ago that I still read over and over again to this day. I can’t imagine how difficult life has been to you but the Christlike character and qualités you’ve developed have blessed so many. ThankYou for your courage in sharing your journey, Mike and I loved your story and sent the video all our kiddos.

[@littlelana696]

Thank you so much for being willing to share. I really need Jesus Christ’s forgiveness and power in my life and this inspired me to dive into the Book of Mormon. Thank you 🤍

[@latterdaycovenantliving]

So powerful!

[@brianhudson3128]

Bro Enslow I am addiction Counelor in Plainfield,Indiana from Avon 2 Ward. I love all that you have said.

[@dcarts5616]

Another beautiful experience! The Book of Mormon is simply amazing in its simplicity and power to testify of Christ and this love for us all! Why is it that it seems it’s better to fall as far as possible in order to find monetary and faith solutions? Not that I would, but I’m like, maybe I should go on a binge of drugs, lose my family, my faith, and come back? Talk about being angry with God, I’m afraid of my shadow, I’m stuck in a job I hate, making not enough money to be on our own but too much to go be on welfare (for now) born in the most free part of the world and I have been nothing but an epic failure. 😢 It’s hard not to just give up trying to be obedient even. It’s like being on the freeway watching everyone pass you by doing 80mph in a 65mph zone.

[@lindaselby7002]

I love your testimony ❤️and I’m proud of you and all your hard work you have done to now be where you are on Heavenly Fathers road I have two family members who are recovering Alcoholics and my bishops told me some advice concerning them Never stop loving them because that is the road they will come home on and it’s true😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@amandadangerfieldpiano]

Yes, love and don't refuse to visit or help individuals! Were commanded to love others as ourselves, and to forgive all people.

[@lizeta8404]

Wow, this testimony is amazing! I loved how he emphasized the application of the Book of Mormon in Alma 60:7 showing how every problem can be resolved through scripture by applying the unto us. I agree, we need more and more testimonies online. Between this channel, the Comeback podcast and the evangelical friend ( I forgot his name) you guys are opening more and more voices to praise Heavenly Father and bring about the Restoration of the Gospel.

[@shylahrice05]

Thank you for sharing your experience and testimony of Jesus Christ. You have a powerful and inspiring story. God bless you.

[@MRRANDOMZ11]

Yes brother well done you kept at it this is my story too the power of the spirit is real contained in the Book Of Mormon it's heaven sent it continues to bless 😁🙏

[@nancynelson1212]

Im glad you're still here! Thank you for sharing how you were healed I pray those who need it will hear this and give it a try, and keep trying!

[@brymstar]

So grateful that christ is able to consecrate the internet like this, and let Beau's testimony be told to so many that need it

[@michaelcrowley9008]

Amen, thank you for sharing this motivation.

[@jenniferbremner4231]

I love this. Beau is so sincere and it was so easy to listen to him. His testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ impacted me. Thank you for having the courage to share your journey.

[@Zeett09]

The host’s comment regarding deity being more apt to respond with increased effort was interesting. I was raised Catholic. Catholic’s believe that as well. The problem is that you start increasing the volume of your dedication to unhealthy levels. Then the religion becomes your new addiction. I saw this all the time with Catholic priests and even monks - Praying 20 hours a day. I personally had to leave religion altogether in the 1970’s for my own mental health. But everyone has their own journey. Good luck to your guest on his journey to overcome addiction.

[@TrueMillennial]

Ya everything should be done in balance. Our leaders council daily prayer and daily scripture study and weekly church attendance. But we also are counseled to get married, raise families, provide for those families, serve in our communities… prayer and scripture study should just be a spring board to each day, not the whole days activities. :). Wish you the best my friend, thanks for your comment.

[@DianeRoman-bj5sg]

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing your story. Experienced a lot of addictions in our family and extended family. Turning to the Lord and excepting His enabling power has always been the only way to freedom. I love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so much too. They saved me ♥️

[@katherineshiver9428]

Thank you guys so much, thank you for sharing Beau. This is inspiring yet a very down to earth, authentic discussion and will help others more than you know.

[@bethumphrey]

“I don’t know why I thought I should be exempt.” Oh man, that is a great reminder and mindset. Love this. Thank you for being vulnerable and humble enough to share. What a light in a hill leading to Christ. Thank you!

[@jmatua407]

Beautiful

[@MsEva9470]

Thank you for sharing your testimony you are helping people 👏👏👏👏

[@mandywesthanks5050]

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your heart.

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

I’m glad he chose to come on the podcast. Seriously.

[@danishpastries3941]

Your testimony is so beautiful! God allows us to go through pain, because He knows that the conversion that can happen because of the trial, is deep and lasting. If we didn't have darkness, we would not understand and appreciate light!

[@Chrysalis52]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Book of Mormon and your testimony, my daughter did something similar with an alcohol addiction. More people need to hear this kind of miracle and even your struggles through it. Thank you, thank you, I plan on sharing this!! ❤

[@athenakelsch909]

This hit home in the most beautiful way✨ Thank you for your testimony and your love for Jesus Christ and your understanding for his love for you🤍

[@Mormon817]

I’m loving this channel so much! Inspired to read the Book of Mormon for an hour a day 👏

[@drewharward818]

Thank you for sharing! I connect with you in so many ways❤ Wow. Just incredible what Jesus Christ can do for us when we listen and follow him.

[@patriciaduenas]

Thanks for your work to let us be strengthen trough your beautiful videos

[@yellowyosh470]

This was beautiful 💛 thank you so much for sharing your experience.

[@FromAgonyToLight]

I have had a similar experience as a member of the Church, but in leaving the LGBT community. I have asked the Come Back Podcast channel if they wanted me to share my journey, but I didn’t get any reply. I want to get that out there, if you’re willing.

[@valleytiller42]

So much wisdom in this interview. Thank you so much for sharing. As the father of three recovered/recovering addicts I can testify that unconditional love and prayer is the key. Keep strong on your boundaries but never give up on your child.

[@GStar-qd5oi]

Amazing interview you guys...Beau I'm sharing this with my brother who has struggled with addiction since High School....so grateful for your willingness to testify of the power of The Book of Mormon and Jesus Christ.....Thank you both!

[@Betha783]

This video was the Buldak Instant Noodles to my friday night, just awesome. Thanks for your honesty! It is a fickle balance to love yourself but still have expectations for yourself to improve.

[@jenniferpfaff3467]

This was amazing. ❤

[@Kcall1234]

Thank you for this!!!

[@jasonrobinson8912]

Wow thanks man I can so relate and it helps me to hear you explain what I feel that I’m really not alone!! Thanks brother!!

[@janasquires4380]

What a beautiful story of redemption that sheds so much light on the hope available to all of us for healing and wholeness through Christ. Thank you, both of you, for having the courage to show up and share. As the spouse of an addict, and someone who is working to face their own shortcomings and be strengthened in Christ, this means a lot. So much love and gratitude to you both. God is so good ❤

[@crisantocabrerajr.8540]

I watched Happy Valley movie some years ago

[@marquitacollette743]

The spirit said listen to this and I'm grateful for your counsel that I will fail but keep doing it. I'm 67 years old and you answered the questions in my mind and now I know to keep going. Thank you loving Father and thank you boy for setting so specifically what my path is going to look like. Did you ever do the 12 step program or have a therapist. I'm not sure this will be helpful. I'd love to hear your counsel.

[@Drawn-by-Abundance]

“We may, indeed, be sure that perfect chastity-like perfect charity-will not be attained by any merely human efforts. You must ask for God’s help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given. Never mind. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again. For however important chastity (or courage, or truthfulness, or any other virtue) may be, this process trains us in habits of the soul which are more important still. It cures our illusions about ourselves and teaches us to depend on God.” -C. S. Lewis

[@GravviSoft]

Love this!

[@madogg152]

I am addicted to the BoM, what do I do about that?

[@s33kaSpark]

Hey Beau. I see this was posted about a yr ago, but on the off chance you see this comment, can you kind of describe the begging of the change you began to experience once you began reading BOM

[@jeffturner8927]

I read the book and it overcame insomnia.

[@lawrencechristenson7653]

How could the Book of Mormon not come from God?

[@noelhausler2911]

Mark Twain called the book of Mormon "chloroform in print" and "if you left the "and it cam to pass " out it would only be a pamphlet. Some LDS scholars have accepted the position that the book is not historical but spiritual.

[@lynnetteHansen-u5h]

YES....LIKE PORN AND VIDEO GAMES........ITS CALLED ABSTINANCE.....NOT MODERATION GUYS
