Summary

Today on The Sword and The Trowel, Tom Ascol and Graham Gunden talk about the recently released Amazon Prime documentary, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. They discuss Bill Gothard and examine some of his teachings, and try to shed some light on the narrative behind the documentary series that lumps all Biblical and conservative Christians into the Gothard camp.

0:19.5	Today, Graham and I are talking about a documentary
0:23.2	in four parts that has been promoted on Amazon Prime called Shiny Happy People, which looks at the
0:30.2	Dugger family and their run of television shows and the way that they portrayed Christianity in

0:45.9	in thinking about what it means to be a Christian. And we examine some of Gauthord's teachings
0:52.2	and try to help show what it means to be honest in our
0:56.9	evaluations without doing what this documentary does and lumping all biblical Christianity
1:03.5	or all conservative Christianity into the critiques.
1:08.2	And we need to be discerning as brothers and sisters in Christ and recognize what is
1:12.4	being done to us when people take real aberrations and things that need to be criticized

1:24.5	simply false so listen in today if you think this is going to be
1:28.6	helpful for you or others that you care about, then pass this along to them as well. So thanks
1:33.8	for listening.
1:38.3	Welcome to the Sword and Trial. Sword and Trial is a podcast of Founders Ministries and Founders Exists for the Recovery of the Gospel and the Reformation of Local Churches.
