The Cult I Left Behind
Newly-ish married couple, Amanda and Kyle, discuss Amanda’s upbringing in the IBLP cult of Duggar infamy – a story Kyle learns about along with listeners. Through sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking stories, Amanda and Kyle explore the cult’s ideology, the strange rules that surrounded Amanda’s childhood, and the abuse she endured before leaving the cult. Through it all, they talk about what it takes to break free from a cult and what gets left behind.

Holy hell. Girl, you're amazing.
I love your podcast
thank you for the podcast. I have listened since the beginning. You have provided a real service.
Thank you so much for the hard work you do with this podcast. I wasn't part of the IBLP cult, but I am queer and raised in a Southern Baptist church. Some of the teachings of Bill Gothard filtered into our church and in Awanas. I'm currently working out my religious trauma. Your podcast helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel of this process. Most days, I feel so broken and like I've wasted so much of my life with these hurtful ideals. But, hearing how much you've been able to heal, I feel like I have a chance to get better. I hope you have an amazing day!
