Sister Wives’ Aurora and Breanna Brown Ask Robyn About Returning to the Church.
Sister Wives stars Breanna Brown and Aurora Brown recently discussed the possibility of rejoining the Apostolic United Brethren, a fundamentalist Mormon group. Their mother, Robyn Brown, is a member of this church, while her husband, Kody Brown, has distanced himself from it in recent months.
In a clip from the Sunday, December 8 episode shared by TLC on Instagram, Robyn, 46, expressed, “Kody has really intense feelings about our church.” Kody, 55, acknowledged that Robyn has been quite frustrated with his withdrawal from the church she grew up in. Aurora, 22, shared during a conversation with her mother and sister Breanna, 20, “One thing that’s kind of pushed me a little bit more towards it was the Buddhism class that I took last semester.

I wanted that to be a lot more part of my life than it is.” She mentioned her desire for a sense of community, to which Breanna added that she also longs for that connection. Breanna expressed, “I want to start dating guys who share similar beliefs and life goals as me, so I think that would probably be a good place to start.” Robyn suggested that Breanna might benefit from having “some girlfriends” who share her beliefs. Breanna agreed, saying she “really wanted to connect in that way.” However, Robyn had some concerns about Breanna and Aurora’s motivations for wanting to return to the church. “I know that they’re interested in dating a guy with similar beliefs, but I’m like, ‘OK, that shouldn’t be the reason why you’re at a church,’” she told the cameras in a one-on-one interview. “I want them to focus on their spiritual journey more than anything at this point, and then that type of thing has a tendency to fall into place.”
Aurora and Breanna seem to have found a new spiritual home at United Hope Church in Flagstaff, Arizona, since the episode was filmed over two years ago. This Pentecostal church describes itself on its website as “a place where people can meet Jesus, engage in life-giving community, and where everyone is welcome.” Their mission emphasizes the importance of loving like Jesus, equipping believers, and multiplying God’s kingdom.

They express a desire to share life together beyond just Sunday mornings, inviting everyone to join their family. Additionally, Kody and Robyn’s youngest son, Solomon Brown, is said to attend services at this church, as reported by Distractify on December 5, 2024. Interestingly, none of Kody’s 18 children have chosen to follow in his footsteps regarding polygamy, with some openly rejecting that lifestyle. “I don’t want to do plural marriage,” stated Aspyn Brown, Kody’s daughter with ex-wife Christine Brown, back in November 2015. “I kind of feel bad that none of us want to, but it was just not what we were meant to do, I guess.”
In conclusion, the Brown family’s spiritual journey remains a complex and evolving narrative. Breanna and Aurora’s consideration of rejoining the Apostolic United Brethren reflects their search for community and alignment with shared beliefs, but Robyn’s concerns about their motivations underscore the importance of focusing on spiritual growth rather than relationships. As the sisters find a new spiritual home at United Hope Church, their path diverges further from Kody and Robyn’s beliefs. The family’s differing views on faith, polygamy, and personal choices continue to shape their relationships, illustrating the challenges of navigating both religion and family dynamics in the public eye.
