Institute in Basic Life Principles


IBLP was/is Bill Gothard’s legalistic and bible-twisting organization for which I had gathered a lot off articles exposing. (His Advanced Training Institute—ATI—is included.)


I have a nice 3” 3-ring binder about 2/3 full. It begins with my request for information about IBLP from Midwest Christian Outreach, which is a Christian Apologetics and Counter Cult Ministry in Lombard, IL. They sent me copies of article they had in their journals as well as other articles from other discernment ministries.


Following these are articles I wrote examining his Basic and Advanced Seminar textbooks, which I late posted on my blog as well as sending to Bill Gothard.


Then there are lots more articles from various ministries and more material from MCO. 


Most of the rest of the publications are print-outs of articles from Recovering Grace Ministries, which has wonderful examinations of Gothard’s teachings and help for those leaving Gothardism.


I would really like to send this binder of articles to someone who would be interested in learning about IBLP/Bill Gothard or maybe someone who knows people involved with IBLP and  would find the information helpful to lead them out of it.


If you are interested in acquiring this data, let me know and I will be happy to ship it off to you. Just email me at jude3.gctwm@yahoo.com

  1. Anonymous,
    Actually have demonstrated your abject ignorance of the topic. Gothard twisted Scripture and was legalistically unbiblical in his teaching. And, YES his "ministry" suffered lots of harm at least 20 years ago when his teachings got exposed by Midwest Christian Outreach, and they even had a meeting with him about his teachings. Take a look at my articles on this blog showing his teachings to be false and dangerous spiritually.
