Season One Finale for The Chosen Ones Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

As we last left off on The Chosen Ones, we began to take a deeper dive into the groups Lori and Chad were affiliated with. This included The Church of the Firstborn, Preparing a People, and Another Voice of Warning or better known as AVOW. While each group has an underlining theme of Mormonism, there are still many questions lingering about their beliefs, their intentions, and most importantly, their members. We’ve examined the major key players in the Vallow and Daybell cases and next season, we will review these specific groups. Now, in today’s episode, we take a quick glimpse into these groups and we recently learned of an intriguing tip that may lead us down a path to more discovery.
