Newfound Hope

I am a member of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I grew up in a non-traditional household because my father was wrongfully incarcerated when I was 11 years old. My two older siblings have strayed from Christ. I have fought over and over again to keep my faith strong, and to be a good example, but I wouldn’t say I ever acted unashamed in my faith in Jesus Christ. I’m now a sophomore in college. Not much has changed in my life. My father is still in prison, my mom is still working the same full time job she’s had since he was arrested, and my two older siblings are still pushing Christ away. I just finished the first episode of the Unashamed podcast, and I was tearful with hope by the time it was over. I have felt lost and hopeless due to the current circumstances of the world, my situation, and my faltering faith. Jase’s conversion story has relieved my soul. Thank you to the Robertson family for giving me hope once again.
