29. Why I Go to Church (Even When It's Hard)
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
Have you ever loved Jesus…but struggled with church? I have, too. After moving into a new ward and feeling out of place, I went straight to the Lord with my questions. What came back was clarity, comfort, and a few simple truths that changed everything for me. In this episode, we talk about what shifted my heart, how I found joy again on the Sabbath, and why gathering, even imperfectly, still matters. I hope my story helps you feel less alone and a little more encouraged in your own journey.
