Leaving the Mormon church was the hardest decision we’ve ever made. After months of study, prayer, temple visits, and conversations with church leaders, we tried everything to stay faithful. But ultimately, we realized we couldn’t continue raising our children in the church.
If you’ve ever felt torn between your faith and your true self, or if you’re curious about what it’s like to leave such a deeply rooted community, we hope our story will resonate with you.
Join us as we share the hardest, yet most rewarding, decision of our lives.

In this video, Sam opens up about his unique and complex journey growing up in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) community. With Warren Jeffs as the prophet and four mothers all married to his father, Sam’s childhood was filled with both cherished memories and challenging experiences. Sam shares what life was really like inside a polygamous household, from the daily routines with his large family to interactions with the influential Jeffs family, including visits to their home. He dives into the good parts of his upbringing, like working together in the family garden, but also reveals the darker realities of life within the FLDS church. Join us as Melissa asks Sam the tough questions about growing up in a tightly controlled religious environment—and his eventual decision to leave it all behind at just 18 years old.
