"The choice to stay and the choice to keep your faith in Christ is so vital. Especially when things don't go your way or they don't make sense, it's so easy to just fall into this mindset of not believing anymore or talking yourself out of the miracles you've experienced or the prayers that have been answered and experiences you've had. That choice is just beyond powerful."

“With the Spirit you can endure anything on this earth. And I know that when we strive to live worthily and have that Spirit that everything in our lives is bearable and it’s possible. And not only is it bearable and possible, but it’s glorious, and even the very worst of those times that those trials, Heavenly Father has a plan for us.”

" My faith has been completely restored, and more than I could ever imagine. For me to be at this point in my life- where I was and where I saw where I was, it was just so crazy to me. And I always tell everybody when they ask about how I feel about me coming back- God had a plan for me just as He does for everybody. And it sucks that my plan and my path was as hard as it could have been. But ultimately, I know in my heart of hearts that He knew I would come back to church at this time and everything, and that was His plan for me."

"I feel like if we could just look around to the people in our communities and the people that that need us, it takes away like the I factor and it becomes we. And as soon as you do that, no matter where you're at in your life, whether you're a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, whether you're Catholic, whether you're agnostic- as soon as you look out to others and find a way to help people, you can't help but feel the Spirit."

This is a replay of a story shared in 2024.

"   The foundation of my testimony was the doctrine of the church is right. The way we understand the plan of salvation and eternal progression and all of the things that make us different from mainstream Christianity, I knew to be true based on my reading of the scriptures and praying about it. I was really given a strong testimony of it. And because of that it was like all of the messy history, all the things that the anti-Mormons love to use to sow doubt and stuff, that was all downstream from that. It was like, well, none of that changes that the doctrine is what my testimony is, and I believe the doctrine is true."

" 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."

 "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."
