Have you ever felt lost trying to figure out what it really means to follow Jesus?
Do you wonder if the Bible can be trusted or what exactly the gospel is?
Maybe you’ve carried hurt from past religion or the LDS (Mormon) church and secretly wish there was a “Christianity for beginners” guide that made it all clear.
This podcast is your safe space to take baby steps in faith and finally understand what it means to be a Christian.
Inside Finding Faith Above, you’ll learn the Christian basics for new believers—who God is, why the gospel matters, and how to walk with Jesus day by day without overwhelm or confusion.
If you’ve longed for peace, truth, and confidence in your relationship with Christ, this is where you’ll find it.
I’m Shelby Hohsfield, a former Mormon who spent 20 years after leaving the chruch searching through religion, doubt, and confusion before finding freedom in the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I know what it feels like to start from scratch, to question everything, and to need things explained simply.
That’s why I created this podcast—to walk with you as you grow in faith, learn truth from Scripture, and experience the love of Jesus for yourself.
So grab your Bible and hit play.
It’s time to take your first baby steps toward real faith, real freedom, and the real Jesus.
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.

Be grateful in everything--even the bumpy rides ... is Robin Luftig's mantra while either writing or speaking to audiences on healing after tragedy. The central theme to all her messages--grace is available for everyone.
This episode is really going to speak to you today. I have had so many messages asking, "what are my next steps on where to go when I'm trying to find faith? I'm at this place where I'm not quite sure what happens after I've said, okay, Jesus take the wheel."
This episode speaks volumes.

What if the mistakes you have made are causing you to question if anyone should ever forgive you? What if they are causing you to question your marriage, your worth, your life? Where do you start? Where do you begin trying to make up for all the junk that was so bad?

Just Because we grow up in the Christian faith doesn't mean the faith journey isn't still a winding road. Today, I'm talking to Miranda Lee, a faith-based health and confidence coach. Through learning to love her body despite mental disorders around food and OCD, Miranda fought to learn to love herself and rely on God.
Her relationship with God changed the most when she met the love of her life, her now-husband who had been raised Mormon. He asked questions and forced Miranda to have to do the one thing all Christians should do in order to grow closer to God and be the example He was asking her to be.

What is courage?
Maybe it is the opposite of fear. Strength in the face of all that could derail us. Being brave. The cowardly lion from the wizard of oz was in search of it looking for what he called the nerve. But courage is within all of our grasps. Even the Cowardly Lion is capable of courage.
Today we are looking at the three steps to having courage so you may face your fears with God at the wheel.

The dictionary tells us the definition of peace is freedom from disturbance; tranquility. We usually take that as having no chaos in our lives, being free from any heartache, craziness, or difficulty. But what if I was to tell you that true peace happens in the heart? Yes, True peace is the feeling of calm, the feeling of love even in the eye of the storm. What does this mean and how do we get there, that is what today’s episode is all about.
