Christy Lynne Wood

Christy Lynne Wood, author and speaker, shares her journey from a decade in Bill Gothard's IBLP movement to finding her faith. She discusses the isolation and strict gender roles enforced in Gothard culture, drawing parallels between Gothard and Doug Wilson’s teachings. Christy emphasizes the appeal of high-control religions, rooted in fear and community. She advocates for a thoughtful approach to deconstructing faith, illustrating how renewed belief can emerge from this process, and encourages compassion towards those still in rigid systems.
