    American Primeval: Unpacking the Dark Truths of Mormon History

    Netflix’s American Primeval dives into the brutal realities of the American frontier, including the complex and often violent relationships between Mormon settlers, the U.S. Army, and Native American tribes. While the show is historical fiction, it clearly portrays Brigham Young and early Mormon leaders as religious extremists willing to do anything—massacres included—to preserve their theocracy. The show brings to light some of the darkest chapters in Mormon history, including the infamous Mountain Meadows Massacre, where men, women, and children were slaughtered under the guise of religious loyalty. But how much of this portrayal is based on real history? Join us as we break down the historical events that likely inspired American Primeval, separate fact from fiction, and discuss the brutal truths that shaped the early Mormon settlements in the West.

    4 Seconds Cost Me $5 Million | My Beast Games Elimination

    In Episode 3 of Beast Games, Sam faced the toughest moment of his journey. He and two of his closest allies were forced to make an impossible choice—one of them had to self-sacrifice by cuffing themselves to a wall so the other two could move forward. With only 5 hours to decide, they played a game among themselves to determine who would take the fall. But when the chosen teammate struggled to accept the result and took too long to put on the cuffs, time ran out—by just 4 seconds—eliminating all three of them from the competition.

    Renovating "The Phoenix Room" at the Short Creek Dream Center with Your Donations

    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! 💛 Join our NEW Patreon HERE: https://patreon.com/growingupinpolygamy If 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.org At 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."
