In this deeply personal episode, I begin to unpack my story growing up in the IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles), founded by Bill Gothard.

I share the silent pressures, the rigid rules, and how leaving the system didn’t immediately bring freedom—it brought questions, confusion, and the beginning of healing.
