Summary

" Becoming a mom just was this huge invitation to try again, see the world in such a more beautiful and dynamic way. It's not two dimensional, it's not black and white and I don't have to be afraid of the gospel. It's not something to be afraid of. And truly just learning how to feel God's love for me."

I remember telling Andrew, like, in tears, I don't want to teach Eric, like, what I believe.

0:10.7

I don't want him to, like, be afraid of Heavenly Father or feels shame or, you know, guilt.

0:20.5

If he doesn't read his scriptures or if he doesn't fit in,

0:23.6

just right. And it was like that mama bear instinct. I wanted to protect this kid from what I was

0:30.1

realizing for the first time was not the healthiest relationship with the church or the gospel.

This is Ashley Stone, and you're listening to The Comeback Podcast.

Hey, friends, I want to introduce you to someone that I absolutely love, Amy Seal, the world's leading LDS professional matchmaker for the latter day same community.

0:59.9

So many of the people I interview on this podcast share stories of feeling disconnected from the church, and not because they didn't believe, but because they felt left out or forgotten, especially when marriage and family didn't come in the way that they

struggled with loneliness, heartbreak, or even crisis of faith, not only find their eternal

1:33.8

bringing people back to love and back to Christ. This episode is brought to you by a very, very

1:46.3

designed for one simple purpose, which is to help us always remember the Savior. For years,

1:52.4

1:57.7

and both are wonderful, but Memoir creates beautiful faith-inspired pieces that give us

2:03.0

more ways to express our discipleship. Each piece carries a quiet reminder of Christ's life and sacrifice,

2:08.9

and it makes such a thoughtful gift, whether someone's walking through a really hard season,

2:13.0

or celebrating a sacred milestone like baptism, temple endowment or a mission call.
