*Content Warning: mentions of child SA* Emily Elizabeth Anderson—a featured survivor on the cult documentary “Shiny Happy People” exposing the IBLP— is an example of how abuse thrives within these extreme fundamentalist Christian teachings. She endured trauma after trauma which caused her body to shut down with Crohn’s disease. Once she recognized the abuse at the hands of her father and Bill Gothard himself, she joined a lawsuit against IBLP and Bill and deconstructed the toxic teachings from her past. Now, a force to be reckoned with, her advocacy work at Thrivingforward.org (which she created) has helped countless survivors of abuse get the help and support they need.
