In this episode, we examine the damaging legacy of Bill Gothard’s teachings on marriage—teachings that placed heavy burdens on wives while offering little guidance for husbands. From his interpretation of the term 'helpmeet' to his unbalanced emphasis on female submission, Gothard’s doctrine has shaped generations of evangelical families. But behind this teaching lies a largely forgotten theological influence: a woman whose reinterpretation of Genesis 3:16 would help lay the groundwork for modern complementarianism. Join me as we uncover how these ideas took root, how they were distorted in Gothard’s hands, and the lasting impact they’ve had on Christian marriages.
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.
