In this series, we read and react to the self-written autobiography of Charles F. Zitting—Sam’s grandfather—sharing a rare, firsthand account of life inside Mormonism, including both mainstream LDS beliefs and fundamentalist Mormonism.
Through his own words, Charles F. Zitting documents his life, faith, family, and experiences with polygamy, priesthood authority, and religious devotion. As we read his journal, we provide real-life context from our own experiences growing up in Mormon and FLDS communities, offering insight into how these beliefs are taught, lived, and sometimes challenged.
In Episode 1, we begin at the start of his story, exploring his early life, spiritual foundation, and the beliefs that shaped his path.
This series is for anyone interested in:
-Mormon history
-LDS vs FLDS beliefs
-Polygamy and fundamentalist Mormonism
-Real-life stories from inside religious communities
-Personal journals and firsthand accounts
If you’re curious about what life is really like inside these worlds, this is a perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.
Subscribe and follow along as we continue reading through the life of Charles F. Zitting—one chapter at a time.
