So powerful -from the depths of hopelessness and dispair to healing hope and overcoming through the Savior’s atonement and your humble work. Glorious message Mark! Thanks for making yourself so vulnerable by sharing. Thank you Ashley for these wonderful, uplifting podcasts!!
Wow what a story, loved the part about the stake President… power!! Thank you for sharing Mark, you are a light to shine forward just as Ashley is and a living testimony of Christ’s power to change people
Mark and his wife are two of the greatest examples of living the gospel and showing Christs love to everyone. They are angels on earth to me in more ways than they know.
Rad Mark, thanks for sharing dude! Been there, and I'm cheering for you brother! There really is light on the other side. I'm always uplifted and edified by the courage of those who repent and humble themselves. "By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins-behold, he will confess them and forsake them." Godspeed brother. Onwards and upwards!!😎🤙🤙🤙
Finally! Thank you for coming out in the open with this story! There are so many people struggling with pornography and integrity/identity issues and even stealing. No one is comfortable taking about it because of the shame. We have been willing to talk more about mental health, and even drug addiction, but these things are harder for people to talk about. We need more stories like this to share that healing happens for every these things and we can talk about it. Wow wow wow... What strength for sharing.
Thank you, Mark, for sharing this story! It's incredible. The atonement of Jesus Christ and His healing power is amazing! And I really admire you, Ashley. Thank you for bringing us these stories of hope. They are a help and blessing to me (and I'm sure many others). May God bless you in this work.
Deep down Mark has a good soul. Mark could be any of us. A reminder of the importance of truth and humility ⭐. And kudos to his good wife as well! Great woman!
Thank you for sharing your story. Everyone has a story but often afraid to share. Your story of miracles in your life because of the atonement of Jesus Christ will help others.❤
Powerful. His witness should be shouted from the rooftops. We can be so petty and privileged that we miss the power of God in obedience...with faith and not with reasoning or seeking accolades from the fleshy arms all about us.
Thank you for sharing your amazing and truthful story and the way you were able to overcome the difficulties by accepting and following the Lord and having your life molded together with love and acceptance and the blessing of your caring Wife,as well...
Quite the ride brother! The deep strength you have squires through your trials is the warrior strength necessary for God's army in these days leading up to His return. God on ya!!❤🎉
Thank you for sharing! His story is another example that everyone of us, no matter how good of a person we are, can fall in the depth of hell and come out pure and clean through the Atoning sacrifice of Christ. 💝🦋
I just love how a story that was once a person’s greatest fear to ever reveal becomes something they want to share with thousands of people online if it will help even one person feel the same joy of redemption that they feel.
What a beautiful story. I like what you said about when he really started to think, "Am I going to keep living out thie lie?" And then he realized that he was trying to find happiness but couldn't actually get it, and then realizing that the church is the only way to enduring joy and happiness forever, because that's what it is. It's hard to explain why my, for instance, life has gotten better so much, so much more deep and profound joy, meaning, peace, hope, etc. It must be God, there is no other way, and I know because I have suffered for it, and I have felt pain, been alienated, had to fight the raging battles in my mind, but it works, God has one, or so it seems right now. I am grateful and all glory to God, because only He can save me from the pit I dig for myself. On my own I can do nothing, but once I am willing and strong enough to submit to the one who is greater than I and say, "Lord thy will be done, and not mine," my life gets better and so much happier. I am so grateful for this church and more than anything this God, who is an endless source of truth, light, hope, peace, and happiness. Keep up the good work!
I have never heard a more devastating story! My emotions were all over the place. I am so thankful for this story of overcoming and fighting so hard to do what is right after being in such a dark place. Bless you and your family for coming through all this!
People whenever you feel tempted just remember satan really hates you, he will try to trick you into doing things that won't bring joy, on the other hand THE LORD LOVES YOU! And He doesn't give up on you.
Senator Josh Hawley has an amazing story! Seriously though, what a great message. Ironically he’s the kind of man you can trust, having had to be truthful through humiliation and trials like that.
Wow, what an amazing story ❤️🙏 the part about the stake president teaching the lesson gave me goosebumps 😮 and I have a genuine interest in forensic science, so I have a thing for watching crime documentaries. Now I'm not sure 👀🤭😶🌫️
Thank you for sharing your story. I strongly felt the Spirit as he talked about the power of Jesus Christ in purifying our hearts. It's so true! He is the Christ
You are one incredible human being. Thank you for sharing your story that requires such humility and such charity for the rest of us that are struggling.
Great cautionary tale about keeping things hidden. Sounds like when he finally decided to open up and tell the truth is the point when things really began to change and improve. It's hard to open up and tell someone (spouse, bishop, teacher, family member) about something that you're struggling with but it's not as hard as it ends up actually being. We don't have to carry it all..there are people that will help and Christ will take it all. Very inspiring story and so happy to hear his life has turned around, his relationships are healthier, his career is back on track and his faith has been restored and grown. Love this!
Thank you for sharing. Satan is real he is powerful. But never forget GOD is real and can and will help us overcome all. You story breaks my heart, but have great admonition of you and your wife’s abilities to rise above it is remarkable.we are the offspring of GOD and the atonement is real. How blessed we all are.
Satan is so wicked! His pursuit to destroy our joy (our relationship with the Savior being that source) is unrelenting. OBEDIENCE, REPENTANCE, the FEAR OF God, is our protection from Satan’s deceptive temptations. It starts with one unrepentant sin and before you know it, a full Pandora’s box of wickedness is pushed into our life. Thank Jesus for his atoning blood which is power to wash, anoint and restore our sinful souls.
What if you actually chose this path before this lifetime? It doesn’t excuse behaviors but I’ve learned what you grow through is how you’ll connect to others.
I agree that our experiences and trials can help us connect with others, but I don't think that I chose the path I ended up going down before I was born. It did turn out for good in the end, but I made those choices while on earth only. Otherwise it means that I didn't have agency and I was somehow led against my will to make the choices I did.
You mean General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the best online Church, right? 😊 And many ward sacrament meetings are also posted. God bless.

What an incredibly humble and brave man Mark is for being so open about his past. God bless him! I’m so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Thanks Jerry. I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is so amazing!
I was disfellowshipped for 2 year about 15 years ago, now I’m an EQP too.
Different stories but many similarities.
What a wonderful story. So glad your wife stayed with you,. God bless you both.
Mark and his wife are two of the greatest examples of living the gospel and showing Christs love to everyone. They are angels on earth to me in more ways than they know.
Dang. What a story. Total respect for opening up and speaking of things as they were and are.
Incredible! What a jaw dropping story. Gods power is so great!
Powerful. Thx be to God.
Praying for all those good boys and girls and returned missionaries to keep strong and live honorably. 🙏

Woow! What a story! God's real and Jesus Christ is real! All of us have to go through things, on this earth! Black or White! God's Great! Amen!
Mark was one of the elders that would visit me!

Thank you Mark!

What an incredible story. Inspiring to go from where he was, to coming out of it with the atonement, instead of taking an “easier way”.
Thank you for sharing your story. I strongly felt the Spirit as he talked about the power of Jesus Christ in purifying our hearts. It's so true! He is the Christ
Thank you for sharing this powerful story of God’s love and mercy.
