The Convert Devotionals

Meet Your Host- My Comeback, My Conversion, My Miracles


Listen Later

Hi everyone, and welcome to the very first episode of The Convert Devotionals. I’m Clare Thomas, your host, and I’m so excited to share stories of faith, hope, and miracles through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I want to be real with you from the start — my journey hasn’t been easy. I grew up in the Church, loved seminary and Young Women’s, and had a strong testimony of the gospel. But after high school, I left the Church and became an ex-Mormon for six to seven years. During that time, I got caught up in drinking, partying, and trying to numb the panic attacks and anxiety that had completely taken over my life. These weren’t just “bad days” — these were full-blown attacks that made me feel like the world was ending, like my body and mind were betraying me. I lost my sense of reality, my personality, and my peace.

Even in that darkness, I never stopped searching. Slowly, I started coming back to the Church. I started praying, reading my scriptures, listening to conference talks, and leaning on my family, my bishop, and my husband, Chris — who at the time wasn’t a member. And little by little, I started seeing miracles. I’ll never forget one weekend right before Easter and General Conference — after months of panic attacks and sleepless nights — I prayed for hours and felt God whisper clearly in my mind: “I’ve got you. Everything is going to be okay.” In that moment, my anxiety lifted, my panic attacks eased, and I felt His love in a way I hadn’t in years.

Since then, I’ve been sober, my faith has grown stronger than ever, and I’ve experienced countless miracles in my life. And that’s why I started this podcast — to share my story, the stories of others, and to remind you that no matter how far you’ve wandered, no matter what you’re struggling with, God is real, He knows you personally, and He will answer your prayers.

In this first episode, I’ll take you through my journey — the struggles, the doubts, the panic attacks, and the miracles — all through my experience as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
