Description

Liz comes from a unique background being almost royalty within the polygamist community. Her grandfather was Rulon Allred and he was the prophet of the Apostolic United Brethren (or the AUB) until he was murdered in 1977 by a rivalry group. Later in 2014 until just this year, her father was the prophet of the AUB. Growing up polygamist she loved it but had experiences to where she was shunned by the neighbors when they would find out that she was part of a polygamist church. The AUB was a break off from the original teachings of the Mormon church and believed that they were keeping the celestial, higher law alive by living polygamy. If you have watched sister wives, with Christine Brown, they are a part of the AUB and Christine is a relative of Liz's.At 16 years old, Liz chose to join the mainstream LDS church. She had to wait until she was 18 years old in order to fully join because she came from polygamy. The AUB teachings were so similar to the mainstream Mormon church that often she would have a hard time remembering which was from what religion. She shares that she was quite happy with both religion and she was following her internal compass. She practiced mainstream Mormonism for years until her sister shared a memory that she had at young age of very inappropriate sexual acts with the leaders of the AUB. With this revelation Liz was forced to sit with the linage of what her sister had experienced and all the men that took advantage of their power. The string that pulled the sweater for her was when her dad became the prophet of the AUB. She saw that there was a line from hr dad to her grandfather, to Brigham Young to Joseph Smith and see there was an abuse of their power. This is a truly powerful episode and one that you will want to listen to.Links:Join my upcoming Life Elevated Mentorship group starting Nov 27th. https://www.amandajoyloveland.com/elevatedmastermindLet's stay in touch!IG: @amanda.joy.lovelandFB Amanda Joy Lovelandwww.amandajoyloveland.comYouTube: Amanda Joy Loveland

Formally titled Leaving Religion & Those We Leave Behind. This podcast is a guide to navigating the waters after religion and how to find your spiritual center. Each episode is full of stories, including mine, of leaving religion, our experiences through it and the gifts gained. My desire is to assist others in having a deeper understand to their path and that leaving does not have to be full of anger and hatred. This podcast is not about bashing any religion or people but is about our stories of moving through the different stages of grief and ultimately having a stronger relationship to themselves and with God. My hope is that as you listen you will feel a sense of peace, of inspiration, of connection and a place to feel that you are not alone in your journey.This podcast has been something I did not think I would ever do and yet it has been one of the biggest gifts in my life. May you find a little piece of hope here within these interviews. These podcast episodes will assist you in your deconstruction after religion.Would you like to share your story?
