We are so grateful to be joined by Austin, the writer of the Light and Truth letter! Austin lost his faith in the Church of Jesus Christ in 2014 and spent many years trying to find more light and truth. He turned back to the Church and ended up writing a letter about his findings. When our spiritual journey leads us to moments of faith and doubt, it's natural to question everything we once knew. Through faith exploration and reevaluating beliefs, we often discover incredible truths! Sometimes spiritual doubt can be the catalyst that pushes us to finally step off the fence and make a meaningful decision about our religious path.
