Court and Becca’s Story: Beyond the Optics

Court and Becca’s Story: Beyond the Optics

Court and Becca, both inactive Mormons, discuss their experiences with the church and their journey to Jesus. Becca, raised in a more religious family, held onto her faith despite being inactive, while Court, who became inactive at a young age, had no intention of returning.

After having a daughter, Becca felt a sense of urgency to re-engage with the church, leading them to attend services and participate in traditional Mormon practices. They eventually left the church, seeking a more accepting and grace-filled community. Despite initial skepticism, they eventually found a Bible study that rekindled their faith and led them to seek a new church home.

Grace, as defined in the Bible, is a gift from God, not something earned through works. Mormons, who believe in salvation through works, miss out on the true meaning of grace and the forgiveness offered by Jesus.
