S3E5: Suzanne Hancock on Leaving Mormonism and Finding True Peace

What do you do when the faith you inherited never brings the peace you’re promised? Suzanne Hancock was born and raised in the Mormon (LDS) church. She followed the rules, did what was expected, and built her identity around a faith tradition handed down for generations—yet peace always felt just out of reach. In this episode, Suzanne courageously shares her long, honest journey of seeking truth: Growing up Mormon and quietly questioning what didn’t sit right Feeling trapped between loyalty, identity, and unanswered questions Wrestling with shame, anxiety, and depression while searching for peace Stepping into a Christian church for the first time—alone and uncertain Discovering Jesus not as a system, but as a relationship Walking away from a lifelong identity and choosing Christ for herself Experiencing baptism as freedom, joy, and new life Learning to trust God daily with anxiety, parenting, and purpose This is not a story about switching religions. It’s a story about seeking truth, finding peace, and choosing Jesus—no matter the cost. If you’ve ever: Felt spiritually restless even inside a faith tradition Feared disappointing people by asking hard questions Struggled with anxiety, shame, or identity loss Wondered whether Jesus could really bring peace Suzanne’s story is a powerful reminder that Jesus keeps His promise: “Seek, and you will find.” 🎧 Listen now to hear how surrender, courage, and grace reshaped one woman’s faith—and future.
