Praise Be To Pod
Ashley and Bailee are reclaiming their spirituality after leaving the evangelical church behind. Join them for candid conversations about the twists and turns of deconstruction, spirituality, pop culture, mental health, astrology, self-care, and all the things that make life interesting after the altar call. Together, we’ll laugh, reflect, and discover what we still believe in.

Spooky Season: The Cult of IBLP
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Bailee and Ashley dig into the world of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) — the fundamentalist organization at the center of the Shiny Happy People docuseries and the belief system that shaped the Duggar family. They explore how IBLP’s teachings on authority, purity, and submission created a culture of fear disguised as faith — and how those ideas spread far beyond one family or movement.
They also reflect on how growing up under similar ideologies shaped their own understanding of womanhood, obedience, and “godly order,” and what it takes to unlearn those systems while holding space for both humor and healing.
