Katie shares her experience going through a divorce and being a single mom in the LDS church 

That’s my momma! ❤

California fan here. Amazing testimony. I’m in Yuba City. About 40 minutes away from sacramento. I’m so glad I took the time to listen to this podcast. Lots of tears. Definitely felt the spirit and I really needed this. Thank you so much ❤

I love this sister’s beautiful testimony! Like her, my testimony (which has struggled) is not really affected by the silly and stupid minutiae of church history that gets people’s feathers all ruffled, I have been lucky in this I know. The fruits have been enough for me, faithful obedience has come to me easily as well. I could feel the spirit in the first part of this, hearing about her sister passing, and love she had for her and then afterward for others who’ve gone through the same experience of sibling loss. I wish people could always just not care what others think, some of us in the church are too quiet to convey how much admiration we truly have for others and are just quiet (like me), and we might give off the wrong impression. Anyway, thanks for sharing this. I lost my Patriarchal Blessing a few years ago so during this I went to the church website and sent myself a copy, and downloaded a PDF version to my phone. 😊

This may not have been the best podcast for me to listen to during my commute this morning, since weeping and driving don’t mix LOL. Oh my goodness, such a moving story. Thank you, Katie, for sharing your testimony with us!

I love Katie’s spirit of humility, gratitude, and her eternal perspective! It can be easy to be resentful if things don’t work out in a certain way. But her attitude makes all the difference! Heavenly Father can teach us so much if we let Him, He can change our hearts and guide us through hard times, and Katie is a beautiful example of this! 💛

I love your podcast and the wonderful people whose stories you share with us. Katie, I live in Nelson, New Zealand and our Branch is part of the Wellington mission. Most of the members are Maori or Pasifika and the rest of us come from all over the world. We love our missionaries dearly, so I hope your son will get a chance to serve here and be part of our branch family.

Wow, this was so good! I loved everything she said--how and why she struggled, how she overcame, how God continually took care of her and her family (even when it didn't seem like it at the time), how inspired the missionaries were, etc. I love what she said about how we are always worthy to go to church, we are always worthy of God's love and to receive answer to our prayers, and that nobody is perfect and if we assume that their life is easy or perfect we just don't know them well enough. I loved it!

THIS WAS SN AMAZINGGGGG INTERVIEW❤️😘❤️

I am a fan from Iowa! What a blessing each one of you are to me!

Great podcast and testimony

Katie…I just found your podcast today, March 12, 2024 and I just want to say thank you. Tears are flowing as I watch and listen to your love and testimony.

What an amazing, spiritually powerful and inspiring woman.

Sweet story.

Katie, this is a very great podcast. Your story is so powerful. Your testimony comes across so inspiring. This is not just for single mothers, this is for all of us. Thank you very much.

Thank you for sharing. I love love to see her faith and how she said that she can see the blessings now and the events that led up to them. Very wise sister. Love this. ❤

Absolutely loved this episode! You remind me so much of myself. The gospel was taught much differently when we were younger and I think msny of us felt the push for perfection which affected us negatively. ❤

Oh my goodness…you are so right Katie. I often wonder if I talk too much to my daughters but I do so because I wish my parents had talked to me about their lives, fears, joys and the reasons why they believe what they do and why it’s so important to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My girls are the best part of me and I let them know all the time. My Mom didn’t let me know how she felt about me until she was 96 which made life hard for me.

This is awesome.

Ashley! You are loved and your podcasts make my day! I glean so much from your guests and I feel the Spirit so strong each time I watch an episode. Thank you so so much.

Beautiful woman, beautiful soul. You both are amazing.

Just loved this episode!!! Wonderful and moving testimony!❤

Love this podcast and kitties testimony i will support you your sister would be a beautiful spirit and didn't need any more test's on earth she will welcome you home she will be in the celestial kingdom

In the early days of the church, members before joining by baptism would half to confess their sins before the congregation 😯 I think we should go back to that model because it would help with the perfectionism attitude that many members feel while at church. No one is perfect and very few people will judge for your past.

Holy smokes! This is the podcast I needed to hear! What a great example of just having faith when things don’t turn out the way you thought they would ESPECIALLY when those things are such righteous desires.

Wish I knew who this beautiful young woman was speaking of who built The Sacramento first ward. Please. I’m old and my family were among the early Sacto area people. Thanks for this

My grandson is on his mission rt now in the Colorado mission that also includes Nebraska. Is your son out now, currently?

Be kind. 👍❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for your testimony! But I have to say….how can you have a son in your 20s? You look so young. Lol

Religion is 100% emotion and 0% science.

When you seek answers from the Book of Mormon instead of the Bible, God can't help you because you have turned your back on Him. Therefore this leaves the door open for Satan (II Corinthians 21:14-15) to step into your life with a false christ or prophet showing you signs and wonders to lead you away from the real Jesus of the Bible who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. God Himself warns us about this in MATTHEW 24: 23-24 "Then if anyone says to you, Look, here is the Christ! or There! do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect..." Mormons teach and believe that their jesus is the brother of Satan, which contradicts what God says in His Bible that Jesus is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity. So Mormons, which Jesus do you believe in? A. Your jesus of the Book of Mormon, who is the brother of Satan. OR B. The Jesus of the Bible, who is God the Son 2nd person of the Trinity.
