My Story

From missionary, to atheist, to follower of Jesus

I was raised in a multigenerational Latter-day Saint family in Utah and served an LDS mission in Louisiana in 2001. Years later I left Mormonism and became an atheist, one who openly challenged Christianity.

Then I started reading the Gospel of Matthew. In the Sermon on the Mount I began to see Jesus differently than I ever had, and I placed my faith in Him.

I felt called to stay in Utah and share the gospel where my family has lived for generations. Today I serve as Go Director at a small church plant here, helping build an outward-facing culture of evangelism.

The Teaching

Placing the Pebble

You don't have to lead someone to Christ in a single conversation. A pebble is a biblical truth, a thoughtful question, a personal testimony, or a gospel insight that stays with someone, like a pebble in your shoe.

This isn't avoiding the gospel or the call to repentance and faith. It's recognizing that God may use several people and many conversations to draw someone to Himself.

1 Corinthians 3:6–7John 4:35–381 Peter 3:15
  1. Build genuine relationships and listen.
  2. Share one biblical truth or thoughtful question.
  3. Give space.
  4. Trust God to work over time.
