Governors at IBLP conferences. A congressman on the board. A presidential candidate who publicly defended the Duggars. A Hobby Lobby founder purchasing entire campuses for the organization. And minors from IBLP training centers working on political campaigns.Bill Gothard's vision went beyond religion. He called it the Joshua Generation — a plan to deploy homeschooled children trained inside his system into American government, law, and politics. The infrastructure existed. The connections were real. Josh Duggar's career at the Family Research Council wasn't an accident. It was the pipeline functioning as designed.IBLP's financial operation at its peak reported approximately sixty-three million dollars. Properties in multiple states. International reach across over a dozen countries. A nonprofit status that has never voluntarily released financial information.The 2025 Texas Supreme Court ruling allowed a landmark lawsuit to proceed — one arguing that IBLP's teachings were designed to create conditions enabling abuse. In March 2026, Joseph Duggar was arrested on Florida felony charges alleging misconduct with a minor during a 2020 family vacation. He is presumed innocent and faces legal proceedings.Gothard is ninety-one. He has denied all allegations. He has never been criminally charged. IBLP still operates from Texas. Its materials are still available. The broader movement it helped build — the intersection of fundamentalist Christianity, political ambition, and homeschooling without meaningful oversight — didn't end when Gothard stepped down. It adapted.This is the final installment of our five-part IBLP investigation. The machine is still running. And the people it harmed are still waiting for accountability.
