Why we love doing this great work and what we have learned | Season 2 Finale

[@joshhill7802]

I've recently become active again after 16 years of inactivity. I'll leave all that for another day. I can say I watch every episode, see it in my social algorithms, and have even had many questions answered or a nudge for digging into the issue with a new lens as well as using so many others perspective in conversation about the gospel.. coming from all your hard work and even sharing your testimony. Thank you, ladies. Merry Christmas to all.

[@Fish-4-Thought]

Merry Christmas and welcome back!

[@JLH1946]

I made an appointment with my Bishop to get re baptized after having my records removed because of your podcast

[@TheSusi1211]

How wonderful!!

[@Fish-4-Thought]

Welcome home!!

[@Kathysfootprints]

Very cool!

[@Come.Back.Podcast]

Wow, thank you for telling us this is wonderful!

[@patriciasegura-marin2329]

We want to hear your story!

[@blackjay5338]

I love this podcast and KZbin channel! I have shed many tears while listening to these miraculous stories of faith, trial, and testimony. This boosts my own faith and has truly kept me safe from the worldly tugs and temptations which seek to make me miserable. This is a arrow in my quiver to combat secularism and materialism. The Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ is the answer! Thank you for being these stories out of obscurity and to the world! 🙏♥️👍

[@raeannhurst1022]

Thanks to all of you involved to bring all this light and hope to the world. I’ve never left the church or even wanted to, so sometimes I’m not very empathetic to others who have left. But as those MOST important to me have left the church this podcast has been such a source of light and knowledge about HOW to continue to love and support them. I think it was Josh’s episode where Ashley asked how his parents handled him leaving and he said they stayed by the tree and he knew just where to find them when he was ready. This was such an answer to my prayers. I will continue to stay by the tree and love my dear ones and if/when they are ready they will know where to find me and hopefully choose to join me there!!❤ Thank you! Thank you for what you’re doing. I look forward to each episode!!

[@torisaxton3666]

I too learned so much listening to this episode. Stay by the tree 🙏

[@BethNeutze]

I came back after 35 years. I found your podcast shortly after. Thank you for helping with my faith journey.😊

[@life.with.mrs.a]

I love your podcast so very much. Being someone that have been a stable member with no faith wobbje for the almost 43 years since my baptism it still has had a big impact on me. What I've taken with me most is a lage increase in compassion and also the insight that the Lord really is very involved in every person's life and both things have grown my faith and joy in Christ. He truely is the Master if the universe with the power to save.

[@laurieriley252]

I love your podcast so much! Week after week my testimony grows because of it. Thank you for your work your doing.❤

[@serenacarter1621]

Love all you beautiful ladies so much! I'm coming back into the fold. It's challenging and hard. But these stories help me alot.

[@millennialfalkon]

Keep going. You are missed, you are valuable. Your relationship with the Saviour will open up doors and heal old wounds. There’s no place like the Saviour’s gospel to feel the fruits of the Spirit so deeply. “Peace give I unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.“ it’s worth it, sister. Just keep going. God bless and merry Christmas! 😎♥️🎄🎉

[@collinwood2189]

I hope you all know how much good you do in the world. Thank you so much! This podcast has helped me immensely through one of the most difficult periods of my life.

[@beckyfitzgerald7448]

[@millennialfalkon]

God bless and merry Christmas!! Thank you for the season 😎♥️🙏🏼🎄🎉

[@lindaayre]

I’m such a fan! This is a great work and I never miss an episode.

[@Come.Back.Podcast]

Love to hear it!

[@juliebenjamin2908]

I love this podcast! It gives me hope!

[@Become1inChrist]

I really appreciate all of you dedicating time to helping people share their Comeback stories. They are a wonderful blessing for the rest of us to get to hear, and we uplift and edify each other with every story. I really like your opening statement and how we are continually coming back to Christ. So true! I’m in that category of I didn’t really leave, but I was questioning everything about my faith. The Lord lead me back, and I am forever grateful!

[@dougbrockbank]

This is one of my favorite podcasts. It gives me such invaluable insights into the experiences of people who have struggled and then come back into full activity of the Church. It also is a broadcast of hope that is so helpful for many who have seen loved ones leave the Church. We see the Lord's hand in watching over all of his sheep, and how He uses people who are in tune with the Spirit to help them come back.

[@nancybrooklyn8096]

I loved this, meeting all of you amazing women making this podcast what it is. I started listening a month ago, and it has been life changing. One, because I have my own sort of "come back" story, two, because of 42 years of total activity, and three, overcoming the fear I've had for friends and loved ones who have stepped away. Every episode is faith strengthening and eye opening and I also feel a close connection with them at some level. It's a different kind of faith and confidence in the Savior's ability to rescue the one and how he never gives up on anyone. Thank you and Happy New Year!

[@patriciasegura-marin2329]

Merry Christmas Ashley and team of the Comeback Podcast!! Thank you for all the hard work! Wishing you guys the best in 2025 and many more episodes of this wonderful podcast! ❤

[@katywilson5374]

Thank you for following promptings and doing this work. It really helps to strengthen my faith in Jesus Christ.

[@debbyelliott4634]

Next year marks my 50th anniversary as a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Just about the time your podcast began, my son told me he was leaving the church. I looked for hope, and that search brought me to this podcast. I have learned a lot from people I didn’t think I would connect with. I appreciate that. I know that I am older than most of your listeners. (I am 65.) I have very much enjoyed every episode. However, I would like to request that there be more stories of faith crisis just because that is what I need to hear. For example, hearing about Don Bradley and his experience leaving in coming back was so inspirational to me. I would like to hear more stories like his. Keep up the great work. I appreciate your work.

[@staleydu1]

Thank you, all of you. You are doing a work that the good that will come out of is incalculable. God bless!

[@BraveGirlization]

Yes!! You guys are amazing! Your content is uplifting, inspiring and faith-building! Also, love the background of the gal in lower left corner! 😊

[@marisolorosco4345]

Thank you ladies and to all the volunteers and to the people sharing their stories. You all bless my life so much and bring the light of the spirit. Grateful for this work and have a wonderful new year 2025!

[@Tk.utelab]

Merry Christmas ladies. Thank you for making this possible. People need to truly know there is a way back. Hope to tell my story someday.

[@Eli12344]

Thank you ladies ❤

[@lauriewhitehead7728]

I ❤ the comment about looking forward to the joy of when family members will return to the Church. Right now they are distancing themselves or telling why they left. Their justification just will not affect my testimony.

[@sagegallagher]

Me too. Holding fast to the tree, loving them, praying for them.

[@Jace28142]

My heart aches that so many friends and family members have chosen to walk away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The reasons have been strange to me. It makes me sad because my friends and family know of my own faith “wobble” and I had hoped they would have learned from my experience. I have come to know each of us are on our own journey and responsible for our own salvation. I am learning to just love and be the best example I can be. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know exactly where I would be without it because I lived without it for over ten years. I’m thankful for the Comeback Podcast and the stories of faith, courage, heartache and love.

[@dougperry7493]

thank you so much for all the effort that you all have put forth to be of help too so many of us. I have a sincere question for my brothers and sisters in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Is there room for me in the church? I have been a member all my life, yet I have never had a testimony of the restored gospel. I love attending church and I have a testimony of Jesus Christ, yet I feel very uncomfortable that i do not have a testimony of the restoration. I feel as though I am on the outside looking in. I have read and studied and prayed, I have served well in callings. I am doing my best to stay the course, but i can say i am barely hanging in there. I wonder how many have left that feel like i do. I am looking for reasons to stay. I want to feel acceptance even with all my uncertainty. i have never really heard anyone address this head on from the pulpit. is there room in the church for myself and others that may find themselves in a similar situation?

[@juliegrange8535]

I love this podcast. It is beautiful and most joyous to the soul. 1 Ne. 11:23. What a great service you are doing. What kinds of help do you need from volunteers? Let us all know. Thanks

[@olgawilley8813]

I can help translating in Spanish! I am a Spanish teacher and I studied in Spain too!

Me too 💝

[@PeytonWolcott824]

Hi

[@Zeett09]

I guess it’s as simple as if the church makes you happier go back, if not don’t.

[@Kathysfootprints]

Will you do more from the LGBTQ community??? If you get those submissions

[@Come.Back.Podcast]

I will pass on the request! - Lauren

[@lauriewhitehead7728]

@@Come.Back.Podcast also do more on those who leave just because of anti propaganda and “deconstructing their testimony.”
