Summary

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains sensitive content that may be triggering or offensive to some audiences. Parental discretion is advised. "You don't know the fight that someone has gone through before they walk through those doors. We also don't know the hours and hours that people have spent on their knees just praying for that moment - for that special time when that person - that brother, or that sister that maybe a mother or father or son or daughter or cousin. That moment that they've just been praying and praying that someday they will just walk through those doors. And as members we have this beautiful opportunity - way before they even get to those handles on those doors and they see the welcome sign right at the front of the church building - way before that day even comes that we get to choose that we're not gonna judge them. That we are gonna be those people that say things like, 'I cannot wait till they get to walk through those doors again. I'm gonna sit right next to them when they show up.' And 'it's okay, she'll get it figured out. Maybe she's on the arrest page, but she'll come around.' It's things like that, that we get to have that opportunity. God has given us that opportunity to be those people on his behalf. That has been one of the most beautiful things, being able to do that."

0:00.0	This is Ashley Stone and you're listening to The Comeback Podcast.
0:11.5	I am so excited to tell you guys about our Come Back to Christ event.
0:17.9	That is March 29th at the beautiful Black Hill event center in St. George, Utah.
0:24.8	We've been wanting to put this event together for a while just to create a space where you can connect with other people and learn how to kind of move forward as you have a faith crisis yourself or as you have friends and family who are
0:40.3	grappling with their faith. And so you can communicate with other people who have gone through
0:45.1	this themselves and come out the other side stronger. We have guests that have been on the podcast
0:50.3	like Dusty Smith, Austin and Tikla, Austin wrote the Light and Truth Letter, which is a response
0:55.0	to the CES letter. Julio, his episode was so good. And we're actually going to be doing a live
1:00.6	podcast at the event with a really incredible story that I've been waiting for so long to record.
1:07.3	So I am so excited about that. Initially, we were going to sell tickets to the event,
1:11.1	and we ultimately just decided we didn't want to do that. So tickets are purely based on donation,
1:16.9	whether you can donate $0 or $30. It doesn't matter. We want you to be there. We didn't know how we
1:23.0	could put the event on without doing a ticketing model, because we had to fly people out to pay for hotels
1:29.8	and travel and lodging and food and all the things and we've had the coolest thing happens since then
1:37.2	we've just had people reach out and want to be sponsors for our event so a friend of a friend of my
1:43.9	dad's reached out and he is a huge fan
1:46.5	of the podcast. He owns Mike's Auto Shack and Mike is the most humble, genuine, cool guy and he
1:55.4	just wanted to support the podcast. And so he is actually sponsoring the lunch for everybody that's coming
2:01.4	which is so nice and he actually goes and gets cars for people at the auction and he just
2:07.7	charges a fee you can get any car you want and it's a really good deal I mean it's honestly
2:13.2	genius and we are definitely going to Mike for our next car but he is so kind and sponsored the lunch
2:19.7	so thank you so much Mike tickets are going really fast so you are going to want to get your ticket
