This may be one of the most controversial episodes I’ve ever recorded – and also the most personal! Amazon recently released a 4-part docu-series called Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. While this series focuses on the Duggar family primarily, it dives into the world and beliefs of those who were part of the IBLP/ATI program – which was the program and culture I grew up in.We got so many requests from people to share our thoughts on the docu-series, so we sat down and recorded a very unscripted podcast on what it was like for me to grow up in this culture + our honest thoughts on the docu-series. You might not agree with our perspective, but I hope that this episode makes you think and/or encourages you in your journey, whether you may be.In This Episode[00:38] - Today’s topic is on the show Shiny Happy People.[03:31] - I share a little of my background and what it was like growing up in the IBLP/ATI program.[08:15] - Is the docu-series sensationalized?[10:09] - We all bring baggage and dysfunction from childhood.[12:11] - Jesse and I caught something interesting in the first episode.[15:01] - We discuss the idolatry of the family.[17:27] - Hear about how it was interesting to watch this show with our kids.[20:30] - We discuss how obedience was instilled/taught.[24:36] - Why success was so important in the IBLP/ATI program.[26:08] - Pursuing Godliness without the gospel leads to dysfunction.[29:17] - Where might I be seeking formulas in my own life?Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineShiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets on Amazon PrimeSocial MediaCrystal Paine on InstagramCrystal Paine on TwitterCrystal Paine on GoodreadsMoney Saving MomMoney Saving Mom on FacebookMoney Saving Mom Deal Seekers Facebook [email protected] Sponsors:* Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com* Check out KiwiCo and use my code CRYSTAL for a great deal: https://kiwico.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
