36 Siblings, 3 Moms... Growing Up In Polygamy Hosts Melissa & Sam Zitting Wyson Share Their Stories

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.
