On this episode I talk with a man who has had one of the most remarkable of faith journeys that I have ever had the privilege to hear. Today I have a conversation with Ammon Jeffs. Ammon is the son of Warren Jeffs and was a firsthand witness to what life was like living on several of the compounds owned and operated by his father and the FLDS Church. During the course of our conversation, we cover Ammon's early life and childhood while first living in Northern Utah, then Short Creek, Texas and many other places. We talk about how his life changed once his father took power, the death of his mother, his father's arrest for abuse, his banishment from the FLDS Church and his coming to terms with his father's actions. From that point we move into talking about his deconstruction of false doctrines taught by Warren Jeffs and just how different they were from the doctrine taught by Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and other early Mormon leaders. We then finish up by talking about how he found and kept his faith in the Restored Gospel as taught by early Mormon leaders. While this conversation starts out really heavy by the end Ammon demonstrates the healing and transformative power of Atonement of Jesus Christ and the Restored Gospel and shows us that we don't have to be a slave to our trials or the sins of our family's past. 

Short Creek consists of the twin FLDS cities of Hildale, Utah & Colorado City, Arizona. Come along as Rick Bennett visits these 2 communities that were founded on the Utah-Arizona border to escape prosecution for polygamy. We'll visit Warren Jeffs house which is now the "Most Wanted Hotel" because Warren Jeffs was on the FBI Most Wanted List.

In this video, we take you behind the scenes of an incredible transformation made possible by your generous donations! Together, we renovated a men's common room at the Short Creek Dream Center, turning it into a warm, inspiring, and welcoming space now known as "The Phoenix Room." What makes this project even more meaningful is the history of the building. The Short Creek Dream Center is located in the very house where Warren Jeffs, the FLDS leader, once lived. Today, it stands as a beacon of hope, healing, and new beginnings for those escaping polygamy and seeking a better life. Your support made this possible, and we can't thank you enough!

Most of the main branches of the Restoration were formed within roughly two decades of the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith. One clear exception, however, is the Mormon Fundamentalist movement. Here's a little backstory: In 1890 President Wilford Woodruff issued a manifesto announcing the Church's intention to submit to those laws recently passed and declared constitutional by the US Supreme Court forbidding plural marriage. Then in 1904, as a result of the Reed Smoot hearings before the US Senate and the national attention this brought to the continued practice of plural marriage in Utah, President Joseph F. Smith issued what is known as the “Second Manifesto,” which announced the Church's policy to excommunicate anyone who continued to enter into new polygamous marriages.  Yet some Church members felt that the manifestos of Presidents Woodruff and Smith were not inspired. Instead, they saw them as weak and uninspired capitulations to government demands rather than a continued courageous commitment to God's commands in the face of persecution. Within a few decades, those who dissented against these manifestos or were excommunicated from the LDS Church for entering into additional plural marriages began to gather on the Utah/Arizona border at a place known as Short Creek. They believed in a 1912 statement by Lorin C. Woolley, who had been courier for President John Taylor, about an unpublished 1886 revelation of President Taylor wherein the Lord declared that the “New and Everlasting Covenant” had not been revoked, nor would it ever be. This was interpreted by those in this group to mean that plural marriage would never be withdrawn. They concluded therefore that President Taylor's unpublished revelation (and their interpretation of it) overruled and superceded the first manifesto of President Woodruff in 1890 and the second manifesto of President Smith in 1904. They were staying true to this core fundamental element of Mormonism while the LDS Church was not.   In time these Mormon Fundamentalists fragmented into various groups, including the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or FLDS Church), the Apostolic United Brethren (or AUB), the Righteous Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days, among others.  In this episode of Church History Matters, Casey and I sit down with Dr. Brian Hales, an expert researcher and author of several books on the Mormon fundamentalist movement, to discuss this fascinating branch of the Restoration.  For show notes and transcript for this and other episodes go to https://doctrineandcovenantscentral.org/church-history-matters-podcast/

In this eye-opening video with Mike King  @ProfilingEvil , we stand outside the iconic building once inhabited by Warren Jeffs, the infamous leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS). Known for its chilling reminder on the chimney, "Pray and Obey," this structure holds a significant history within the context of polygamous communities. But beyond its dark past, we also discover signs of change and resilience. Join us as we reflect on the significance of this landmark, examining its role in the broader narrative of religious extremism and the journey toward healing and progress.

Judy and I have had the pleasure of getting to know Melissa and Sam Zitting Wyson family over the past year. They agreed to share their story on my podcast, and recently stopped over for a visit. Judy spent two hours playing games and keeping the kids involved, so I want to recognize Judy for her contribution to this Nobody Knows Your Story episode. Hildale, Utah, along with Colorado City, Arizona, make up the onetime FLDS stronghold known as Short Creek. This is where Sam Zitting Wyson grew up. His wife Melissa grew up about 45 miles to the west in St George, Utah as a member of the mainstream LDS or Mormon faith.  They talk about their upbringings, (which not only  includes Sam's departure from polygamy, but also his conversion to the LDS faith), the similarities of their two faiths, and how they both eventually felt a call to not just share Sam's story of polygamy, but to also help those who may have questions. This is when they started their YouTube channel, Growing Up In Polygamy.  They have tens of thousands of followers who can't get enough of what Melissa and Sam have to say. After listening to Melissa and Sam share their stories, I'm guessing many of you will be following Growing Up In Polygamy as well.  

The community of Short Creek lies along the Utah/Arizona border in the town of Colorado City. The area is surrounded by massive red rock formations on one side, and desert on the other side. The town is divided by a road called “U-zona” with Utah on one side of the road, and Arizona on the other. While this may seem like a simple, quirky little feature at first, this location was chosen strategically, so that the residents could flee from one state to another in order to evade the government. This community is home to many FLDS community members, and this town is the setting in which Warren Jeffs started to gain total control over his followers. Watch the Documentaries: Prophet's Prey Keep Sweet: Pray and ObeySources:Splinter Group: Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) from Mormonism Research MinistryWho Is Warren Jeffs And How Did He Become The Leader Of The FLDS? from Oxygen: True CrimeWarren Jeffs' Survivors: Where Are Merrianne Jessop and Veda Keate Now? from SpikyTVFLDS Fast Facts from CNN19 Things You Probably Don't Know About FLDS Polygamists from BuzzFeedWhat Is a Cult? from Study.comCharacteristics Associated with Cults from Janja TalichWhat Happened to the YFZ Ranch?

Earwolf Presents Hot Doc Summer with Beautiful Anonymous host Chris Gethard introducing you to one of our summer audio documentaries from our Stitcher colleagues at Witness Docs. Witness Docs presents Unfinished, an investigative anthology series digging into America's unfinished business. Season 1, Deep South, produced in collaboration with Market Road Films, brought us on a journey into the Arkansas Delta to investigate the lynching of Isadore Banks. Season 2, produced with Critical Frequency, takes us to Short Creek, a community on the Utah/Arizona border divided by much more than a state line. Season 3, produced with Scripps, explores dual loyalties and hidden histories via the story of Ernest Withers, one of the most important photographers of the 20th century -- who was both a Civil Rights Movement photographer and a FBI informant. Ernest Withers shot timeless photos covering the civil rights movement- Dr. King on that integrated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, Emmett Till's uncle pointing an accusing finger and striking garbage men in Memphis wearing I AM A MAN placards. His loyalty and dedication earned him the trust of movement leaders King, Young, Lawson. But what if that trust was misplaced - what if Ernest was leading a double life? For more audio documentary podcasts go to our Witness Doc friends here:www.witnesspodcasts.com/ Or find your usual faves at www.earwolf.com

Apologies for the incorrect upload, this is the real episode 45! Thanks for your patience listeners. In our conclusion to the miniseries on the UEP, we cover the crimes and convictions actually levied at the UEP and the FLDS by extension, and we delve to show just how deeply this rot has made its way into these communities and the country at large.

Former polygamist , Ceci Hendrickson, talks publicly for the first time about her experience being raised in a FLDS cult, run by Warren Jeffs. She talks about her experience being raised in the isolated town of Short Creek, her childhood with multiple mothers, being in an arranged marriage at 16, the tension between herself and the other wives.    She then takes us on the journey of forbidden love, being exiled from her community, being homeless and pregnant, and fighting to be reunited with her children. Her story is heartbreaking and empowering all at once.    Follow her on Instagram and support all she is doing! www.instagram.com/ceci.hendrickson Host: Chelsea Kunz creator of Karen Disapproves www.Instagram.com/Karen.disapproves --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/karendisapproves/support

Beyond the headlines of abuse, underage marriages, and polygamy, the award-winning podcast UNFINISHED: SHORT CREEK, explores how this community is wrestling with its history.

The most unique aspect of The Short Creek Dream Center located in Hildale, Utah is that it is actually housed in the former home of convicted FLDS cult leader, Warren Jeffs. While Jeffs has been in prison for many years now, his acts of mental and sexual abuse over the entire area have left a mark on that region that will take decades to repair.Enter my guests for this episode, Luke and Konstance Merideth. They co-lead the efforts in running the Short Creek Dream Center as a place where those who were left with such deep wounds can find all new hope. They both have such amazing stories of personal redemption that now motivate them to offer that same redemption to others. ***Questions or comments about this or any episode:My email: steven@nookpodcast.comJoin The Nook Facebook page!Steven's Social Media:@Murphy24p Instagram and TwitterSupport the show

In light of a recent Twitter op-ed, we invite Dr. Cristina Rosetti onto the show to discuss a polygamist group in Utah (the Kingston Group) who’ve recently contributed to political campaigns, shot rifles with POTUS’s son, and opposed the decriminalization of polygamy which recently passed the Utah legislature. Rosetti helps us navigate the tumultuous waters of Mormon polygamy and discusses the recently-passed bill. Then we jump into our next installment of The Naked Communist before wrapping with some happy news about the recent Presidential Election.   Links mentioned in the interview: https://cherishfamilies.org/?fbclid=IwAR1P2QDwOaqIonSZUAgpepQwrJ3CH1N5AU9_jIHXUBrdQs7s5OfFXs5GiQw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostolic_United_Brethren?fbclid=IwAR0Hgna6chGnE7HbnBKPsVkXCwBBTRGNcYuaNw5b7MfWMhMFODarx7Ei_A4 https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2020/11/06/utah-attorney-general/?fbclid=IwAR0r7qQVu_WARC1bGwdDQWCSrszYpZ25eXAhBLmR8GvrNI853FgveH4cx2M https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Creek_raid?fbclid=IwAR18g9FS-5zcBzeHeGxxNG4oNBJ5MgfMOj_iVoAdzm0vmCd66WpKh4jcJZg https://www.jstor.org/stable/45227157?seq=1&fbclid=IwAR0zfQsegBUAqAeNedCj8USTc2kq_0YWIL_mnuDp9OHgDiv21n0T5h5-t4c#metadata_info_tab_contents   Follow Cristina Rosetti here! https://twitter.com/CristinaMartaR Show Links:Website http://www.glassboxpodcast.com/index.html Find us on Facebook and Twitter @Glass Box Podcast
