Kody Brown won’t consider looking for a new wife to replace any of those that departed. As he said, when he was young, he had the “confidence” that polygamy could work for him.

No TLC fans need to be told that this man sounds very different from the one that they watched for many years on the show.

Grace And Forgiveness

Kody Brown talked about “grace” and “daily forgiveness.” Additionally, he also talked about “forgiveness” towards himself and forgiveness for the wives.
