Episode Synopsis

Send us a textView the visual version of this episode here:https://youtu.be/lZFazV_SdfULindsey grew up in a religious family that devoutly followed the now-infamous IBLP IBLP organization, or “The Institute in Basic Life Principles.”Made infamous by documentaries like “Shiny Happy People,” on Amazon Prime (which Lindsey was also featured in), this church was lead by Bill Gothard, a man who somehow convinced, and still convinces, people across the world to live by rules and values he somehow didn’t have to follow himself. In this episode, Lindsey tells us, in detail, her experience being one of the chosen “Gothard Girls,” and how spending time with Bill Gothard one-on-one shaped her young mind, and lead her to the crusade she now leads to spread awareness of his terrible legacy, and destroy the facade of “goodness” and “holiness” he managed to create. Find more about Lindsey via her Linktree below:The Cult Chronicles Linktree: https://linktr.ee/CultchroniclesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecultchronicles/?hl=enSupport the show
