IBLP sent mixed messages when it came to health. On one hand, Bill Gothard taught that exercise and physical wellness were less important than ‘godliness.’ Yet, at the same time, the cult heavily promoted diet fads, using food as another tool for control—especially over women. Many were pressured to follow ever-changing diet trends while prioritizing so-called ‘biblical health’ over their families and relationship with God.
In this episode, we break down these contradictions and expose how Gothard’s teachings distorted the meaning of health, self-care, and true well-being.
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.
