The first time I listened to the RFP 3 years ago, I met it with skepticism. I had been raised in the fundamentalist movement, but the milder side. I knew the Tony Hutsons and John Hamblins were crazy, but I wasn’t part of them. I was a better version. My dad...

I grew up in a large family and one constant was attending church. I was raised in a Baptist Church and never questioned it. As I grew up and the years passed, I found myself on active duty in the U.S. Navy. Military life is not a 9-5 lifestyle and I found myself not...

I grew up in IFB churches from the time I was about 3, I’m 24 now. I’ve met many of the men you guys discuss on the podcast. Brother Craig Edwards preached a jubilee several years at a small church in Logan WV I used to attend and a larger one in Teays...

I am a woman who grew up in an ifb church. (And survived!) My parents refuse to acknowledge that it was a cult still to this day. Even despite several family members pleading with them to leave the “cult”. My sister and I truly believe we grew up in a...

My roots are in the IFB; my parents came from a relatively benign form of the movement, but even there the harmful effects were latent. My dad was considerably older than my mom, his second wife. My relationship with him was not cold or distant, but it was not the...

I was raised in an IFB church in central North Carolina from the age of 5-18. I made a profession at the age of 6 because that’s what everyone else was doing. As I grew up in this church and began to understand more, it became clear to me that what was being preached...
