Exposing IBLP: The Unreachable Standard and Unchecked Authority of Gothard’s Patriarchs | Episode 7

Bill Gothard’s teachings on fatherhood are full of contradictions. He tells fathers to be kind and loving, yet excuses their failures by blaming Adam’s sin. He encourages fathers to make parenting a competition while insisting they must earn the right to be heard. And most concerning of all, he teaches that a father’s authority never ends—not when his children grow up, not when they marry, and not even when they have families of their own. In this episode, we break down how these teachings shaped IBLP families, exposing the heavy burden they placed on both fathers and their children. Join us as we examine the unrealistic demands, the suffocating control, and the damaging consequences of Gothard’s blueprint for fathers.Umbrella Rebellion is a podcast where we share ourexperience in the ATI/IBLP and fundamental cults.
