For the first time in her podcast history, Christy dives into the life and teachings of her old cult leader, Bill Gothard. She introduces his organization, the Institute in Basic Life Principles, talks about the Basic Seminar and the seven Basic Principles, and explains why these things matter to her listeners even if they were never personally influenced by Gothard or his teachings.
The Institute claims that over 2.5 million people have attended the Basic seminar since it's creation in the 1970s. If this is true, than many pastors, professors, and ministry leaders have been influenced by Gothard's false teachings. In turn, churches, organizations, and colleges have also been affected mostly unbeknownst to their members.
Christy explains how everything within Gothard’s IBLP seemed Christian and legitimate, but under the surface it was twisted just enough to be a lie. She gets so excited about this topic and has so much to say that she runs out of time and decides to make a part two that will be coming soon.
