Christy finishes her episode about Bill Gothard and his teachings by looking into the impact his Basic Seminar has had on the mainstream Christian people who attended. Many people went to a seminar once or twice, but never got into the cultic whirl pool far enough to realize how wrong and twisted his teachings were. They went to the seminar and then went home.
Mainstream churches hosted Gothard's seminars and then went on with their lives. The leaders never got in deep enough to recognize how destructive the seminars were.
Christy attended a local church for five years and never realized it was the same church where she taught at a Basic Seminar twenty years earlier. It wasn't until she left that she discovered that church hosted Gothard for over a decade.
We must recognize and reject the IBLP teachings in order to be free. They are so sneaky and so subtle that they feel true, and yet they will damage every relationship in our lives if we don't root them out.
