In this episode, we dive into the “Ten Basic Convictions” section of the IBLP Men’s Manual, where Bill Gothard lays out a list of supposedly essential beliefs—each backed by carefully selected Old and New Testament verses. But as we take a closer look, something becomes clear: these convictions are just thinly veiled versions of the Ten Commandments. While Gothard claims they’re scripturally grounded, the distinction between a “conviction” and a “preference” remains murky at best. Join me as I unpack this confusing doctrine, verse by verse, and explore what’s really going on beneath the surface of Gothard’s spiritual checklists.
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.
