Amy Stokes

Amy Stokes was born and raised in Utah. She grew up in the church, but didn’t realize until she attended BYU a lot about church doctrine. Amy then spent her twenties feeling out-of-place and unsure. It wasn’t an overnight decision to change in feeling all-in on the church. She spent the next decade or so “on the fence,” with so many unanswered questions and it was exhausting. Luckily, now Amy approaches life and spirituality with a lot more trust in God and has allowed herself to not need all the answers right now. Amy's testimony is “I know He’s got me—and that’s enough for now.”
