What does the 4th of July look like in a polygamous community? In this episode, Sam shares his childhood memories of celebrating Independence Day while growing up in the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints).
From handmade pioneer outfits and early morning parades to community gatherings full of food and patriotic songs, Sam reflects on what made the day feel special—even in a world with very different values from mainstream America.
- Hear about unique FLDS traditions around July 4th
- Explore the mix of faith, family, and patriotism in a tight-knit religious community
- Get a glimpse of what holidays felt like as a child in polygamy
This is a personal and nostalgic look at one of America’s biggest holidays—through the eyes of someone raised in a world most people never get to see.
