The Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) is a conservative Christian organization founded in 1961 by Bill Gothard, promoting strict biblical living through homeschooling, rigid gender roles, and obedience to authority. Its teachings emphasize large families, courtship over dating, and avoiding mainstream culture.
The Duggar family, made famous by TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, were prominent followers of IBLP, publicly embracing its values. Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar raised their children under these teachings, homeschooling them and promoting modesty, purity, and traditional gender roles. However, both IBLP and the Duggars have faced public scrutiny—IBLP for abuse and misconduct allegations against Gothard, and the Duggars for scandals involving family members, which brought renewed attention to the group’s controversial practices.
