In this episode I have the privilege of talking to Emily Elizabeth Anderson of Thriving Forward and who was featured on the "Shiny Happy People" documentary on Amazon Prime. Jennifer Moodie from Ep. 28 also joins us for the conversation. We discuss Bill Gothard, his movement and the tenets of his teachings as well as the brokenness that it brought and continues to bring to not only those that were in IBLP, but in the church at large. We also talk about what brought Emily out of the dark and into the light, and His name is Jesus!
