About this listen

Have you ever felt lost trying to figure out what it really means to follow Jesus?
Do you wonder if the Bible can be trusted or what exactly the gospel is?
Maybe you’ve carried hurt from past religion or the LDS (Mormon) church and secretly wish there was a “Christianity for beginners” guide that made it all clear.

This podcast is your safe space to take baby steps in faith and finally understand what it means to be a Christian.

Inside Finding Faith Above, you’ll learn the Christian basics for new believers—who God is, why the gospel matters, and how to walk with Jesus day by day without overwhelm or confusion.

If you’ve longed for peace, truth, and confidence in your relationship with Christ, this is where you’ll find it.

I’m Shelby Hohsfield, a former Mormon who spent 20 years after leaving the chruch searching through religion, doubt, and confusion before finding freedom in the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I know what it feels like to start from scratch, to question everything, and to need things explained simply.

That’s why I created this podcast—to walk with you as you grow in faith, learn truth from Scripture, and experience the love of Jesus for yourself.

So grab your Bible and hit play.
It’s time to take your first baby steps toward real faith, real freedom, and the real Jesus.

xoxo, Shelby

ABOUT YOUR HOST
Finding Faith Above is hosted by Shelby Hohsfield. Shelby grew up in a mixed-faith home and attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon or LDS) church until she was 18. As most people do when they leave the church, 85% actually, Shelby left God altogether when she left the LDS church. It wasn’t until she was pregnant with her son that God was made evident to her.
From there sparked a quest to FIND FAITH, a fleeting idea that challenged her at every step.
After trying all matters of religion for years, she was struck one night when some big things literally brought her to her knees- When things got super hard, it was the surrender to the one true God that changed everything about Shelby’s life, belief, and understanding of this universe we live in.
After a 20-year journey after leaving the church, she finally found faith above.
As Jesus asked us to do, Shelby now dedicates herself to the great commission- telling the world the good news of Jesus.

  • 129. When God Feels Silent: Learning to Trust Him in the Waiting Room of Life
    Nov 12 2025

    Have you ever felt like you’re just sitting in the waiting room of life, wondering what God wants you to do next? You pray, you listen, you wait—but the silence feels heavy. Maybe you’re desperate for clarity, asking, “Lord, just tell me what to do, and I’ll do it!”

    In this heartfelt episode of Finding Faith Above, Shelby shares a personal conversation she had with her 19-year-old son about following God’s direction—even when it isn’t clear. Together, they wrestle with that deep longing to hear from Him, and the frustration that comes when God seems quiet. But through Scripture and reflection, Shelby reminds us that sometimes the waiting room isn’t punishment—it’s purpose.

    You’ll hear how God’s consistency, faithfulness, and unchanging nature mean you’re never truly stuck or forgotten. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever—and even when you can’t hear His voice, He is still working in your life.

    If you’ve been wondering where God is leading you, this episode will help you rest in His presence, trust His timing, and find peace knowing that right where you are might be exactly where He wants you to be.

    ✨ Listen in and be reminded: God hasn’t forgotten you in the waiting—He’s preparing your heart for what’s next.

    Referenced Message: 🎧 Watch the Sagebrush Church sermon from November 1st with Pastor Todd Cook on YouTube — it’s a powerful reminder that God’s silence is never His absence.

  • 127. Wait, What Is the Gospel? (Because I Never Actually Knew Either)
    Oct 22 2025

    So… what is the gospel, really?

    If you came from a background like mine, that word might make you cringe a little. “The gospel” sounded like rules, perfection, checklists, and a whole lot of pressure to measure up. But friend, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

    Today, we’re breaking down what the gospel actually means according to the Bible—no religion, no fluff, just the real good news of Jesus Christ. This is the truth that sets us free, the message that changes everything, and the reminder that you don’t have to be “enough”… because He already is.

    Inside this episode: ✨ What the word gospel actually means (and why it’s called “good news”) ✨ Where you’ll find the gospel all throughout the Bible—from Genesis to Revelation ✨ Why the gospel isn’t about you being perfect, but about what Jesus already did for you ✨ How understanding this truth can transform how you see yourself, your past, and your faith

    If you’ve ever wondered, “What does it really mean to be saved?” or felt unsure about how Jesus’ sacrifice actually changes your life—this episode is for you.

    💡 Verse to Hold On To:

    “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” — Romans 1:16
