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.

The Stages of Grief and Did you walk away from God like most of us?
If you grew up like me you may have witnessed firsthand all the positive, the negative, the trials, freedom, heartache, loss, and possibly triumph involved leaving the only thing you ever knew about God. It is not an easy road. This is my experience, and while it is unique to me, I have found through talking to so many men and women who left the Church there are similarities in our stories. These Stages of Grief are common and part of the landscape of this unique journey we call faith. And here is the question… Did you leave God? Did God leave you? We are unpacking the stages of grief after leaving the church in today’s podcast. Let’s dive in. Doubt, loss, anger, seeking, surrender, miracles, peace.
Carrying a load of baggage? Jealous of people you see who have faith and you, well, just don’t? Do you feel like there is no way you can move forward in faith until you unload and get some answers?

Community- I know, pretty girl, this is going to be a tough one for you. We were never meant to do this on our own, and community can change so much about how we move forward with faith. But how do we find community? Why is it important to lean on others to help find faith?

I can’t bring you to the place where you understand what it truly means to surrender. I can’t make you have faith. I can’t give you that. That is found in the relationship you have with God and God alone. But, today, pretty girl, I will not leave you open-handed. We are talking about the number one thing you need to do right now to start your journey towards finding faith above.

Start your life coaching journey now and move past that leftover religious baggage for good!
Dear beautiful girl,
Have you ever wondered what faith even is, why some people just seem to have it, and why you just have none?
You have been angry at religion, angry at church, angry at those who lied to you, angry … at God.
Beautiful girl, you left everything you knew about God behind and are desperately looking for the truth.
What is true if the church is not?
Beautiful girl, I’m talking to you, the girl that doesn’t know how to do the God thing with her kids. You know that shoving religion down their throat is not what you want. Raising them in a lie is not what you want. Pushing belief on them will just make them feel like you did as a kid, hating that feeling of guilt. But you also don’t want them feeling like you do now- searching, lost.
Beautiful girl, I’m talking to you, the one that is ready to finally find faith, live faith, and eventually give faith. To find your faith journey, your truth.
This is my faith journey on how He saved me.
I’m Shelby Hohsfield, Coach, Artist, writer, and follower of Jesus. I spent years turning my back on Him after leaving the church. But He never gives up on us. Dear beautiful girl, here, we are finding the truth we never had, identity in who God truly says we are and genuine faith after leaving the church. We are answering tough questions, diving into bible truths, discovering how to live in faith in a way that overflows our hearts with joy, and listening to gorgeous transformation stories from real-world gals. This is the Sunday school you wish you’d had. You are listening to Finding Faith Above.
