“I Was All In—Until I Wasn’t: How God Waited While I Walked Away”

She grew up in the Church, believed deeply, then lost her way… but the Savior never stopped reaching for her heart. If you've ever stepped off the covenant path—or are thinking about finding your way back—you need to hear Kinzie's story. On this episode she shares her unfiltered story of leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a teen, chasing the “fun” life, and what God did to get her heart back one little piece at a time.

This isn’t a story of perfection. It’s a story of grace, courage, and the quiet ways God never stopped chasing her. We talk about:

• The slow slide away from church and how it really happens
• Why shame keeps so many from coming back
• How one inspired calling changed everything
• Finding peace in the temple and power in repentance
• What to do when you're still straddling both worlds
• How to love friends and family who aren’t on the same path—without judgment

If you're coming back to church, thinking about it, or just need hope that change is possible—this one’s for you. You are not too far gone. You are not broken. You are absolutely loved. And there is still so much light ahead.
