A Leap of Faith: From Doubt to Belief
Faith is ultimately a leap—whether you choose to believe or not. Questions about church history or teachings can spark doubt, but no answer will fully remove all uncertainty. The real turning point comes when you realize that faith requires a decision.
Austin Fife shares his moment of clarity: if there is a God, staying “on the fence” isn’t an option. Moving in one direction, even with questions, is crucial. He chose to believe, and it was transformative. The gospel became exciting and new again, even though not all answers were clear. Doubts still exist, but Austin’s faith grew stronger with time, and he’s never regretted the decision to become a believing member of the Church.
Belief is a choice—a leap of faith that leads to personal growth, deeper understanding, and a stronger connection to God.

It opened up new doors in his life and refreshed his commitment to God. #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #prolds #latterdaysaint #mormon #byu
