No matter where you're at, what choices you're making, none of those things change your worth."00:00 Faith Shaken06:52 Worth And Church Pressure14:19 Burnout Doubts And Stepping Away31:54 Epiphany36:21 Choosing Belief38:39 It's Scary to Come Back47:20 WorthMemor Jewelry code MOTHERSDAY for 20% off - only before Mother's Dayhttps://memorjewelry.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please submit here: https://comebackpodcast.org/submissions/For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

And I always tell everybody when they ask about how I feel about me coming back- God had a plan for me just as He does for everybody.
