Growing Up In Polygamy

Why We Left The Mormon Church


Listen Later

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.
