Julie you are such a darling fresh and beautiful soul. Many would have completely abandoned God and the church because of how unfair life has been for you and the tragic mistakes of members towards you. But you are a valiant brave strong woman and the Lord fought hard because for you because He needs you back in the fold. You are an inspiration.
What a strong woman. My heart goes out to you for all the trauma you have been through. I have been through some, and apparently still need to work through it, but you are a light and your strength let’s others know they can do it. Bless you! My husband and I were sealed in Payson! If I would have found these podcasts a year ago, I wouldn’t have to binge listen right now. They are incredible. Thank you!
These podcasts are so important to me. Thank you for doing these. A source of strengthening our testimonies in a day and time where so many voices are so loud to try to tear down and destroy testimony. Thank you.
Good reminder for members of the church to support those who are going through tough times and not isolate and leave them alone. Great testimony about the power of the word of God.
I like what you said that you're never lost and that the Savior is waiting there for you. It gives me hope for some of my family members. Loved your inspiring story!
All these video's, brings tears of joy in my SOUL/SPIRIT, for Bro's & Sis's, returning to the TRUE CHURCH, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS.
I have many family and friends who have left the church or are on the fence. I wish there was some way I could share these videos without offending them. I have now watched Dusty Smith, Morgan and now Julie's reconversion stories that I have been so inspired. It's sad that so many members listen to anti Mormon UA-cam videos in which they have lost their testimonies...
👍🙏💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏😊 Julie your story inspires me. That scripture in Mosiah 2:41 is one of my favorite scripture. Congrats and stay the course, you’re doing great.
Julie, you are so brave. D&C 76 uses the words "valiant in the testimony of Christ". Merry Christmas. The Gospel is true even if some members commit really bad things. How sad. Sometimes some members are too "busy" or judgmental to stop and help the member who has literally been mugged and left to die on the side of the road. It can take a while for that good Samaritan to come by. Sometimes it is the perception by the wounded that there was "nobody in that ward or stake that would help or listen to me". Which is hard to believe if the church is true, right? I mean, there would have been ways for that visiting teacher/prison warden to work around it, delegate to a friend. But the main thing as you said is that Jesus never gives up and He has angels working for Him. I love how President Hinckley used to say, "things will work out". Modern-day Prophet and Psalmist summarizing your and everybody's journey. Praying for your mom and siblings.
The Internet/ social media was in such need of these stories. Thank you for doing this podcast! I was so sad to see all the channels against the church and then I found your podcast and now channel. Gives me hope for the family and friends who have left the church. I pray and hope they will find miracles on their journey’s as well to come back❤
These stories are hard. What's amazing is that it all comes down to developing that relationship with Heavenly Father. It's terrible when parents and family create a stumbling block.
Ashly, I went from Matt's conversion story (Baptist) on Saints Unscripted to your story on their channel (which my daughter will HAVE to watch) to here... blessings to you and your family.
Those little things are called "tender mercies". You collect enough of those together in one place you get a miracle. A great big one, or two, or three.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony and your story of how you found your way home. You are and will continue to be a beacon on a hill for those struggling for the courage to simply turn around. You are absolutely amazing!
This last year I had been watching a few UA-cam channels talking about why people leave the church hosted by people who have left the church. It has been very interesting. I have come to better understand why people leave the church based on their experiences and their interpretation of the events in their live. I have learned to be less judgmental about those who leave the church and more accepting.
I remember meeting you! (I trained as a postpartum doula in Utah in 2015. Then moved our of the state months later.) I'm so excited to hear all of this episode!!
Thank you for this. It was great to hear such a lovely coming back to faith story. It was quite a series of events, she went through, that had so many faith promoting moments, and lessons. I also, remember that talk about turning to Christ no matter how far you have gone.
I have a similar story. My Mormon husband beat me so bad when I discovered he had a girlfriend in our ward, that I had to learn how to read and write again when I got out of the hospital. My entire ward turned their back on me and shunned me. My best friend carried me to the bathroom and married me to put me on insurance so I can get care. After the church found out that the person who married me was female, excommunicated me. I had zero family around, they were half a country away, and I was too medically fragile to be transported to another state. So my ward family turned their back on me, and then the entire church turned their back on me. In my darkest hour of life, my best friend stepped up. She cashed in her hundred thousand dollar 401(k) and put me on her insurance after marrying me, so I could be taken care of. Which do you think I’m loyal to?
Things to research when it comes to the LDS church 1. Kinderhook plates 2. Book of Abraham 3. JST 4. Polygamy and marrying girls who were already married. Jesus was a polygamist and so is God the father. Creating many spiritual beings. Mormons want to become like God and they believe that there is polygamy in heaven. 5. Racism in the BOM 6. The golden plates 7. There’s no archaeological evidence 8. There is certain agriculture and certain farming equipment that could not be possible in the times of what Joseph Smith says in the book of Mormon 9. There is a bunch of the New Testament in the book of Mormon, which doesn’t make any sense because it predates it. 10. Joseph Smith’s dad was a Freemason and most if not all temple rituals in the LDS church are from Freemasonry 11. Joseph Smith was a treasured seeker before he apparently found the gold plates. 12.

Those people that may seem to be forgotten now need our love even more than ever. People have their agency, they will be punished for their sins, life isn't fair and a lot of times sad. We all have our own trials and don't always understand. Life is a test that is complicated at best. Love is what breaks those nasty chains that bring us down. I don't envy people that go through things like that, but I know they need our love.
When you seek answers from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible, God can't help you because you have turned your back on Him. Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 11:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you signs and wonders to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in MATTHEW 24:23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? A). Your jesus of the Book of Mormon who is the brother of Satan. OR B). The Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.
We believe Jesus is God's son and brother to satan and in the trinity , God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. The Bible , The Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price all go together. They are all Gods word.
Al, you really need s hobby. You're coming onto a podcast where people vulnerably tell their stories of returning to Christ and his church, and you spew your derision and self righteous condescension? Really low.
@lemjwp17 Well, it's a public site open to all opinions. This is American, right!? What I am doing is trying to show you from a Biblical point of view that the Mormon church is worshipping the wrong Jesus Christ. Therefore, saving people from eternal judgment. And my goal is with a sincere and caring heart that is non antagonistic but truthful. But don't think you and the Mormon church have some kind of "moral high ground." I would like to point out that it was the Mormon church that has attacked Christianity first when Joseph Smith said that "all the churches are wrong and an abomination before God..." (Joseph Smith history 1:19), for over 192 to this day the Mormon church has supported their racists doctrine that all blacks are cursed, and let's go back in time to September 1857 to the MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE in which Mormons lead by John D Lee murdered 120-140 innocent men, women, and children of the Baker-Fancher wagon train. Later before his death John D Lee confessed that Brigham Young gave him the order to kill all those innocent people. And to add insult to the victims. The Mormon church names a university after Brigham Young (BYU).

My SOUL/SPIRIT was in extreme heavy tears, thanking our ETERNAL PARENT'S, for the return of our beloved Sister, back to CHURCH.
Wow Julie, very difficult things have happened to you, so glad you FOUGHT through this!
Great episode. Love from Canterbury England.
Thanks so much for sharing! I am seeing the daily miracles in life also!

I'm pretty sure that was Elder Holland talking about never being so far off that you can't come back. He's one of my favorite speakers.
Yeah, he phrased it beautifully - there’s no depths to which you can sink where the love of God does not reach.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony and your story of how you found your way home. You are and will continue to be a beacon on a hill for those struggling for the courage to simply turn around. You are absolutely amazing!
Amazing story & you are so impressive. Thank you Julie for sharing your story. I pray for all of your family.

No you don't believe in the Trinity as Described by God in the Bible., 3 persons, but one God, Triune in Divine Nature.
You are right they believe of Jesus in the book of mormon which is their Jesus sad but true
