Is there a way to understand polygamy and keep your faith in living prophets? How can we believe a loving God would ever command something like this?To answer these questions, this video will be divided into three parts:1. The Biblical Premise for Polygamy: what we know, and don't know about it2. How my ancestor, Amy Teresa, has CHANGED my view on polygamy forever3. A motivational speech and RESOURCES that give an HONEST and FAITHFUL look at polygamy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.This is not an apologist explanation video. This is a look into my own life and how I view polygamy in the context of my faith. I hope you find your faith strengthened as you dive in.Polygamy is one of the most controversial topics of the Restoration in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. People are losing their testimonies because they just can't reconcile this. And honestly, the history of polygamy is messy, hard and unfair. Let's keep comments uplifting and faith promoting. There is a way to stay if you choose to wrestle with this IN the Church, always remembering to keep peace in your heart.VIDEO RESOURCES: Why Did Plural Marriage Begin in the Church? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNbQCPCWj_MJoseph Smith’s Trial and Error Approach to Plural Marriagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTGF8MREXZEPlural Marriage Troubles (part 1): John C.
