Welcome to the Alisa Childers Podcast, where we equip Christians to identify the core beliefs of

0:13.4

historic Christianity, discern its counterfeits, and proclaim the gospel with

0:17.2

clarity, kindness, and truth. And I've just gotten off a call with the

0:21.4

authors of a book called A Matter of Basic Principles and it's

0:24.6

basically about Bill Gothard and his cultist teachings. So I've just talked

0:28.6

with Don Vino and Ron Henzel who wrote this book about 20 years, but it just had an update with a new forward by Ginger Dugger Voolo.

0:36.6

Now, many of you may recognize that name because I did a podcast episode with Ginger and

0:41.7

Melissa Doherty, where we talked through her story of coming out of the

1:19.8

and there can be high control and things like that so So we talked through that, we talked through the pillars

1:24.6

of the Bill Gothard teachings and how that has really infiltrated

1:27.5

a lot of Christian homes and churches

1:29.5

through homes school curriculums.

1:31.2

And we talked about the continued influence of Bill Gothard

1:34.0

and his teachings and what we can be looking out for. So this is an important

1:36.6

episode. I also want to encourage you to go back into the archives and listen to that
