I help women safely reconnect with God. I know what it is like to have so many questions about the Christian faith. If you are like me, you may have some religious baggage that left you questioning your self-worth in a big way. You’re asking... How do I raise my kids with faith when I’m still trying to figure it out? Where can I find a community I can trust? Why does every church feel like culture shock? Will I ever know Jesus? Is Faith something meant for other people? It’s just so overwhelming. And the world keeps telling you you are enough- all on your own, you are enough. …but you don’t feel like it. In fact, you question your self-worth at every opportunity. Friend, I have been there! And here is a secret- without God, you will never be enough. And that is an amazing thing. Keep reading… I’m Shelby Hohsfield. At times, I was an ex-Mormon, agnostic, a Sunday Christian, want-to-be Buddhist, and a New Age follower, but God had very different plans for me. The whole time I was living in one very big lie- that I was in charge of my own enoughness and my works would save me and my life. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about self-help and personal development, but as a born-again, fully transformed Christian, I learned there is the world’s way, and there is God’s way. It took me 20 years after leaving the Mormon church to finally meet God, and when I did, I would never be the same. To quote CS Lewis, ”The more we get ourselves out of the way and let Him take us over, the more truly ourselves we become.” Mere Christianity. You are enough not because of what you have done but because of what He has done, and He lives through you. In this podcast, we are going to dive into Bible truths explained just for Exmos and New Believer mamas so you never have to feel overwhelmed or question your compass or self-worth again. We talk about social pressures, family struggles, basic Christian beliefs, and God’s amazing grace for you. This is the place for theology, apologetics, and wisdom from His word that will shape your life, your confidence, and yes, your feeling of enough. Be prepared for Self-help done in God’s amazing way. Friend, you are in the right place! xoxo, Shelby ___________________________________________________________________ ABOUT YOUR HOST Finding Faith Above is hosted by Shelby Hohsfield. Shelby grew up in a mixed-faith home and attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon or LDS) church until she was 18. As most people do when they leave the church, 85% actually, Shelby left God altogether when she left the LDS church. It wasn’t until she was pregnant with her son that God was made evident to her. From there sparked a quest to FIND FAITH, a fleeting idea that challenged her at every step. After trying all matters of religion for years, she was struck one night when some big things literally brought her to her knees- When things got super hard, it was the surrender to the one true God that changed everything about Shelby’s life, belief, and understanding of this universe we live in. After a 20-year journey after leaving the church, she finally found faith above. As Jesus asked us to do, Shelby now dedicates herself to the great commission- telling the world the good news of Jesus. ___________________________________________________________________ CONNECT WITH ME Email＞ hello@findingfaithabove.com Website＞ https://findingfaithabove.com/ FB Group＞ https://www.facebook.com/groups/christianwomenafterreligion Instagram＞ https://www.instagram.com/findingfaithabove/ _____________________________________________________________

When people are starting to question faith in any capacity, but more so with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I never suggest just looking into the church. Trying to prove the falsehood or truth of the church can lead to some weird and very emotional places.
Instead, I say, go on a Jesus Journey. We need to get to know Him above all else.
- He is the Word
- He is With God
- He is God
- He was in the beginning
- He is the creator of all things- Nothing was made that was made
- He is the Light of Men
- Fulfiller of prophecy
- Giver of light and life
- The one to make us children of God
- Glory and the Giver of Grace

Has prayer become a ritual? Is it something we do and say the things we need to say and go through the motions?
But let me ask- are you talking to God? Really talking to Him?
Today, we are asking the question, Why sometimes does it feel like my prayers are not being answered?
- We have to ask…
- Do we have faith that He will work?
- Are we asking for worldly gain or God’s Kingdom?
- Are we asking with forgiveness and love in our hearts?
- Are we giving God the Glory?

How many of you are currently in a storm? How many of you feel like you are in a thing or are dealing with some life stuff right now?
How about anxiety or something similar?
How many of you feel like you have tried so much but feel like you have gotten nowhere?
I was asked recently, after encouraging someone to lean on God, “What if it doesn’t work?”
So today, we are going to unpack this-
What if Jesus Doesn’t Work for Me? 3 Things You Need to Know About God's Grace
- Coming to Christ Doesn’t Mean All is Fixed. The storm will continue.
- Jesus is the peace in that storm
- Our God is a God of miracles- ask for His peace, and He is there

You want to know God, who He is, and what He wants you to be.
We are inundated from the world with all these ideas of The Universe, spirituality, and energy, and we think we KNOW God from the way we feel.
But what if there is a way to actually know the true nature of God, to know about Him, and Know Him? What if we can actually learn who He is and all His attributes?
Today, we are looking at the number one place to find Him.

We are starting a new series- a new series on how God is NOT like us. Ways in which He is divine, His nature, His wrath, and His love.
How does our character reflect His? And do our limitations glorify His greatness and limitless power.
Today we are talking about the steadfast love of God.
We are loosely basing this off of Jen Wilkin's book, None Like Him.

Today, dear friend, if you are in the LDS church and questioning things, I invite you to listen, take it in, and then maybe go create a list of your own.
So she made a list, and I just love this-
- Things I believe
- Things I want to be true
- Things I am questioning
- Things I would miss
- Things I am unsure about
We are talking to Jenni today. She was raised in the LDS church and very much lived it until she started asking questions, digging into history, and coming up short with finding Christ there.
