Tracy: How a Relief Society President Found Rest in a Real Relationship with Jesus

Throughout her life, Tracy strove to draw closer to God and Jesus, faithfully following every instruction from her church. Despite her devoted efforts as a mother, wife, and active church member, she felt a nagging distance from Jesus—a gap she couldn’t bridge. Compounding her frustration, she encountered Christians who, without the ‘restored gospel,’ exhibited a surprisingly intimate and vibrant relationship with Jesus. ‘What gives?’ she pondered, her heart aching for that closeness.

God used these meaningful encounters through the heartfelt worship and songs of these Christians and their personal testimonies. They spoke of Jesus with a palpable familiarity and love, describing a Savior who was not just a figure of reverence but a constant, loving presence in their lives. This profound difference in experiencing Jesus challenged Tracy’s understanding and sparked a deep spiritual curiosity.

Faced with her husband’s pivotal question—’If the church isn’t true, would you want to know?’—Tracy found herself at a crossroads. “Form Latter-Day Saint Service to Savior-centered Serenity” follows Tracy’s compelling journey through doubt and discovery as she grapples with challenging church doctrines and the authenticity of her faith.
