Rinsley grew up with deep roots in Mormonism—even tracing her family line back to Hyrum Smith and Brigham Young’s brother. But despite her devotion, she was overwhelmed by anxiety, guilt, and the crushing pressure of trying to be good enough for God. After becoming involved in a Mormon splinter movement that promised greater truth and spiritual experiences, she eventually discovered that no amount of effort, rituals, or religious devotion could bring the peace she was searching for. In this powerful episode, Rinsley shares how she found true freedom, not through works, but through the grace of Jesus Christ.
