I have been listening to both this podcast and the Preacher Boys podcast for about a month. I can relate to the material so much. When I was six years old, my family started going to an IFB church. It was a tiny church with no windows. I had to wear dresses, but I was...

Hi, I am a 30 yo woman who has grown up in the IFB. I was born into it. I remember my questions starting as young as 5, when I asked my parents why I couldn’t wear pants. They said because the Bible says so. This was just the beginning. Every year it seemed...

Ok, finally taking time to get around to this. First off, thank you men so much. This has been such a blessing and a healing for a lot of bitterness that has taken root in my heart towards the IFB. You guys have shown so much grace to the IFB and so much...

First, thank you for calling us to biblical holiness. Anyone can live by traditions and standards. Loving my neighbor as myself requires God to radically change my heart. Thanks for equipping us with answers to those “who boast about outward appearance and not what is...

God has shown me patience and perseverance this past year. The class of 1991 at my Christian school where I attended (IFB affiliated) has been through a lot of growth. This year I saw a breakthrough with favoritism and name calling. I have been called a fool because I...

My dad (retired) was a KJV-only IFB pastor. My mom taught at the Christian school I graduated from. I attended Bob Jones University. From my earliest memories, the existence of God never made sense to me. By the time I left BJU, I was a full-blown atheist. God in his...
