Leaving the Mormon church was the hardest decision weâve 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 couldnât continue raising our children in the church.
If youâve ever felt torn between your faith and your true self, or if youâre curious about what itâs 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, we dive into the details of our whirlwind romance, how the church shaped our relationship in those early days, and the lengths we went to in trying to follow the rules perfectly. It's a love story filled with faith, adventure, and some unexpected twists!

In this video, Sam shares the incredible story of leaving the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) community, where he was raised with four mothers and Warren Jeffs as the prophet.

From the challenges of navigating the outside world to reconnecting with family members who viewed him as "wicked" for leaving, Sam reveals the ups and downs of transitioning between two very different religious worlds.00:00:00 Transitioning from FLDS to LDS: A Personal Journey00:08:07 Experiencing a New Church Community 00:16:52 Leaving the FLDS Church: An Unplanned Farewell 00:25:30 Experiencing Freedom and Financial Struggles 00:33:57 FDLS Church and Missionary Discussions00:42:01 Differences Between FLDS and LDS Churches 00:50:41 A Memorable 18th Birthday and Meeting Sam00:59:01 Preparing for the Mission: Financial Challenges and Community Support01:07:17 Embracing a New Life for Purpose01:16:31 Closing Remarks and Call to ActionJoin our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamyIf you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]â SUBSCRIBE NOW : https://shorturl.at/inqrEâĄď¸ Checkout our other Videos:đˇEx-Polygamist Reacts to Sister Wives: Season 18 Ep. 1-2â https://youtu.be/R9u4wAzUjK0đˇExclusive Interview with an Insider: Exposing FLDS Secretsâ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIjlLejkETUđˇBreaking Free: One Girl's Journey from Warren Jeffs' Controlâ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-bH4fLMZX0đˇBehind FLDS Doors: The Tragic Tale of a Family Torn Apart by Warren Jeffsâ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFFQ_j_RJCođˇTour Of The Dream Center, A Refuge Home For Ex-Polygamous Familiesâ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbqR1UJFJBY#like #comment #post #share and #encourage other to #subscribe to the channel.
