Keep Sweet, Obey, Escape(Part Two): The Making of Warren Jeffs

November 10, 2025 • Courtney and Teresa✨ • Episode 10

Part Two is Here!! The Making of Warren Jeffs
Content warning: discussion of abuse, child abuse, and spiritual coercion.

Before he became the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS and one of America’s most notorious cult leaders, Warren Jeffs was just a boy born into chaos — the “golden child” of a sprawling polygamist family and the son of the church’s future prophet.

In this episode, we trace how a quiet, awkward teacher turned into the architect of absolute control. From the turmoil of the Jeffs household to his years running Alta Academy, we uncover the blueprint of obedience, isolation, and fear that would later define his reign.

Through survivor accounts, family testimonies, and chilling early patterns of abuse, we explore how Warren learned to manipulate faith itself — turning devotion into domination.

🎧 This is The Making of Warren Jeffs — Part Two of our FLDS series.

Music used : " SINISTER " composed and produced by "Vivek Abhishek"
