Richie Steadman always knew the gospel was true. That wasn’t the struggle. The real wrestle came in living it. At 20, he was excommunicated—but the very next Sunday, heart pounding with doubt and hope, he stood at the chapel doors and walked inside. “I want this so badly—it may take time—but I’ll do the best I can.” Week after week, Richie kept showing up. Step by step, he moved forward. His blessings were restored. His faith deepened. And his understanding of Christlike love expanded beyond the walls of any building. From a 10-year-old boy learning that God answers prayers to a man who knows Zion means “room for everyone,” Richie’s story is full of honesty, hope, and the quiet courage to just take the next right step.
