This episode covers the documentary "Behind the Shiny, Happy People" focusing on the movement that made the Duggars keep on counting: the Institute in Basic Life Principles, and its founder, Bill Gothard Jr.
Some have likened the ministry’s teachings to the fictional HULU series, A Handmaids’ Tale. The documentary depicts the alleged spiritual, psychological, physical and sexual abuse at IBLP programs over the course of decades.
