Bill Gothard teaches that a father’s authority never ends—not when his children grow up, not when they marry, and not even when they have children of their own. In this episode, we break down how Gothard expands a father’s control to include sons, daughters, in-laws, grandchildren, and even grandchildren-in-law. Using Deuteronomy 4:9, he claims this multi-generational authority is a biblical mandate, but is it really?
We’ll examine the unrealistic burden this places on fathers and the suffocating control it imposes on adult children and their families. How does this teaching affect real families? Join us as we expose the never-ending rule of the "family patriarch."
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.
