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.

It is a word we of heard a million times.
If you are like me, it is not a word that makes me feel very good.
To me, it often meant rules, plans, perfection, the whole enchilada that I really didn’t get.
But what If I was to tell you that the Gospel is the good news, the only good news, and nothing but good news?
Today, we are talking about what the gospel is according to the bible and all the good news that comes with it.

I always love hearing the excitement in the voice of a new believer.
That awe of realizing who God is after not knowing Him.
Along with being a new believer comes a lot of questions, including whether I should I be rebaptized, what the significance is, and can I do this alone.
Today's episode is all about Chassady’s journey and the amazing things God does when you let Him into your heart.
What does it mean to have a believer's baptism, and is it something you should do?
