Hello and welcome back to the next episode of Season Two Of Church Of Jesus Christ- Real Life Stories. This story is about the husband of @ldsrprlpodcast. You can find him on Instagram @jed_s.c.jr. This is Jed’s story on how he became a member of the church!
Hi my name is Jed Colvin. I am married to Stefanie Colvin who does LDS real people real lives podcast. I was baptized in 2013. When I met Stefanie she wasn’t active in the church. We had many good talks about faith and the spirit, although I didn’t fully understand what the spirit was and how he spoke to us. But, during these conversations, I look back, and now understand it was the spirit guiding those conversations for both of us. When stef and I decided to stay together, I felt it was time for me to find out more about her family’s faith and religion being Mormon. What Stefanie was saying seemed and felt true during our conversations even though she wasn’t active. She always believed. I was journaling and reading and pondering……reading books picked up from her family’s library and I remember everything I read felt right and true. It just felt good.
Eventually I had an experience while sitting at her parents’ dinner table. While reading, studying and pondering the articles in the Ensign, I felt a warmth come over me like a warm blanket. And I felt that burning in the bosom, something in my chest, and heard the words in my mind, “you’re home.” Very simple yet pointed, powerful, and life changing. And I knew at that time I was exactly where I needed and wanted to be. I was ready to take the discussions from the missionaries and to be baptized quickly. I will forever be grateful for the mercy of the Lord to bless & guide my life even when I was living such a worldly life at the time.
