Ever felt like you’ve strayed too far to come back? We sat down with Zayd (aka Latter-day Zayd) to talk about leaving, returning, and rebuilding a life with Christ at the center. Her story is unvarnished: teenage inactivity, addiction, bad relationships, and the moment her daughter’s birth turned her toward home. What follows isn’t a fairy tale of instant transformation—it’s a patient walk of daily choices, new habits, and the grace that meets us where we are.

We explore why “repentance as an event” leaves people stuck, and how treating repentance as a lifelong process opens room for real healing. Spiritual highs help, but consistency changes the brain and the heart: scriptures on hard days, prayer when shame says hide, showing up at church even when you feel unworthy. We draw a clear line between guilt and shame—guilt prompts movement, shame stalls growth—and talk about claiming identity as children of God, not as the sum of our worst moments. If you’ve expected an Alma-style conversion, we offer a more common, hopeful pattern: slow, steady change that endures.

You’ll hear practical ways to reset after relapse without throwing away progress, how daily repentance functions like a covenant “reset button,” and why endurance matters more than perfection. Zayd’s message lands simply and powerfully: you are never too far gone, and belonging is not earned—it’s received in Christ. If you need permission to start again, this conversation is your green light.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review to help others find these stories. Your small action might be the nudge someone is praying for.
