In this inspiring interview, we sit down with Heather Brown, who shares her journey from being raised in the Mormon church to finding a deeper connection with Christ. Growing up, Heather understood the emphasis on outward appearance that was prevalent in her community. However, as she entered her young adult years, she began to question her intentions for following the "rules" and the role of appearances in her spiritual life.

Heather opens up about the challenges she faced during this time and how she grappled with rules that didn't necessarily make sense, while also struggling to learn the difference between repenting to save face, and true repentance. Despite her difficulties, she found strength and resilience through trials and adversity, especially trials within her marriage.  Learn how Heather accepted a beautiful gift from God as she grappled with a big secret that almost ruined her marriage. 

Walk with us through this journey where, through her experiences, Heather came to realize that true connection with Christ goes beyond outward appearances and rituals.
