”If you’ve breathed a breath in this life then you have a story to tell” - Todd Hansen, host of The Story Trek.

He is so right. Each one of us has a story to tell about our lives that can entertain, uplift, teach or inspire.

There is only one of each of us and we can all be the wiser for hearing others’ stories.

    Episode 169: Isaac Steed | From sweet life to survival under the control of FLDS cult leader Warren Jeffs.

    Ladies and gentlemen, and whoever else is listening. Welcome back again to the show.
    This may be one of the most intriguing episodes in the last 5 years. Several months ago I interviewed author Charlene Paul, Episode 159, who wrote a book called Devotion Deliverance Deception, Keep Sweet - Pray and Obey, Isaac's Story about a young mans' life journey inside the FLDS Church and the world of polygamy and mind control.
    Today we have the subject of that book, Isaac Steed with us.
    Buckle up for a more in-depth look at what it was like growing up, and living a "happy normal childhood" inside the FLDS Church and the tightrope walking it took to survive under the total and absolute control of the then leader Warren Jeffs and what it was like to be banished in an instant for no apparent reason after literally devoting EVERYTHING to the group.

Everyone Has A Story!

Brian believes every person has an important story to share. Once you have listened to one of Brian’s episodes, you will also be a believer. There are so many lessons to be learned from each other.
