Summary

"I have the fortunate experience of having seen so many critical questions answered that I just have faith that there's going to be an answer somewhere for most of it. But really for me, it also comes down to the Book of Mormon. Because I believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I have a witness of that. I feel that there is evidence of that, not proof, but strong evidences that indicate that it is true. There's testimony from witnesses, and the criticisms against it that I've looked at have been weak. And so when I come across a new question that I don't know the answer for, I always rely on- I know the Book of Mormon's true, so the church is true- even though I don't know the answer to this question. And there are some questions that don't have good answers for them. We just don't have the information."

0:03.2	Yeah.
0:03.7	They're difficult.
0:05.9	I can give you stories that make the church look really, really good.
0:11.1	Make us look like we were out there.
0:14.0	We were advocates.
0:15.4	Great stories.
0:16.8	But I can also give you stories where we did not live up to our Christian faith. We did not live up to our standards. Well, there's enough out there where we look really bad. And so the question is, is what you're going to believe? And my answer is both, both, both stories are true. Because people are complicated.
0:42.8	This is Ashley Stone, and you're listening to The Comeback Podcast.

And then Saturday from 9 to 2, we will have Nia, Peter, their former podcast guests. If you know, you know, they were so good. We have a live podcast with
1:47.9	Carla Collins. And then our keynote on Saturday is Terrell Givens. Terrell wrote the book Crucible

1:58.2	amazing. We are so excited. There will be a lot of former podcast guests
2:03.3	there. You will be able to mingle with them. It's going to be an awesome way to celebrate our
