Mormon Stories: The Idaho Mormon Who Found the Real Jesus

Susan Malo grew up in Idaho, which she describes as an extension of Utah in terms of Mormonism. She had very limited exposure to non-Mormons, with only two non-Mormon friends in her childhood. Susan's family and community were deeply rooted in the Mormon faith, and she felt safe and connected in that environment. However, as she grew older, she began to question her beliefs and explore other perspectives. Susan's two older brothers left the Mormon Church, which had a significant impact on her understanding of her own eternal destiny. Susan's journey from Mormonism to Christianity was marked by questioning, doubt, and a search for truth. She found support and guidance from mentors and resources like Faith After Mormonism. Susan's husband played a significant role in helping her navigate her doubts and discover the true Jesus of the Bible. She emphasizes the importance of prayer, seeking out Bible-based churches, and not giving up on the journey. Susan's story is a testament to the power of the Holy Spirit and the transformative nature of encountering the Triune God.
