In this episode, we take a close look at Bill Gothard’s “Why Do Children Rebel?” page from the IBLP Men’s Manual. Gothard lays out a cause-and-effect list, assigning specific types of rebellion in children to particular failures of their fathers. While some underlying principles might seem like sound parenting advice, the way Gothard frames these ideas is anything but normal. Join me as we unpack the strange assumptions, unusual phrasing, and underlying message that places an overwhelming burden on fathers—while offering little room for nuance or grace.
Umbrella Rebellion is a podcast where we share our experience in the ATI/IBLP and fundamental cults. We are on a journey of healing and exposing the teachings that lead to and justify abuse. It is our hope that those who are experiencing abuse can find support and escape from it.
