“If the only thing that makes me a good person is rules and a chaperone then I am not a good dude” finally!!! That is the best way to put it
Yes!
Yes 🤚🏻💯 Agree, That's The Perfect Way to Say it that We ALL Can learn from as a Person in life Period 😉💭❣️I ❤ That interpretation for Us All as a Child of God ✨😇✨, Being a Good Human 🤗 in anything we go through or life Circumstances ❤️🙏🏻❤️❣️
Yes this is what I agree with Jeremy too. I mean this makes so much sense. I loved how he explained it. ❤
How exactly were Jim Bob and Michelle supposed to know he was a "good dude"? Take his word for it? They loved their daughter and they tried to put rules in place that would protect her. More parents should do that.
@@dustinrustick8450 there's nothing wrong with rules but the way they were with their kids was very controlling and there are other ways to protect your kids without being overbearing.
Of all the couples, Jeremy and Jinger are the easiest to listen to. Very intelligent, eloquent and down to earth.
I think Jeremy has really brought out the best in Jinger and helped her outgrow unhealthy beliefs.
100%
Jinger talks normally now. The rest of her family have a formula for speaking. The words they say, the cadence of their sentences, where they take a breath, and the way the women pause for the man and just smile and shake their head and agree with what they say. She has her own brain now and her husband respects her ideas. I love it!
I’m not religious at all but I respect the HELL out of him for helping ginger find her way to where she is now with love and education and grace and not by force.
I think the only thing he could claim is helped give her the confidence to be her own woman. To have her own thoughts and feelings about things. He did what a husband should be first he became her protector and in that protective space it allowed her time to become her real self.
Jinger said something along the lines of "Honouring my parents is about respecting them but not obeying everything they say " and I think that is so powerful. I really struggle with boundaries and I think reminding myself of this is going to massively help!
Yes that part was incredible!!
Nobody seems to ever really say respect your daughters yet daughters must respect everybody UNFAIR
@@noorbohamad5796it’s despicable but that’s the cult life
Yes I once was told this exact thing in therapy and has helped my perspective and honestly guilt I would have after every decision I made as an adult!
Also, are parents are told in the Bible to love their children. Love requires honor and respect. The Bible also plainly says, Parents, do not provoke your children.
I feel like I could listen to Jeremy speak all day. Not in a weird way, but in a way that he does an amazing job breaking down the books and verses in the Bible. It’s beautiful to see that Jeremy and Jinger’s relationship was for sure divine intervention! God is so good!!
Yes, i totally agree with that ❤
agreed!!!
Totally. He is a really good teacher. He is a pastor in CA. I need to find some of his messages and listen to it.
Agree! I was thinking he makes so much sense in a very chill way lol
Same!!
The way Jeremy says “I knew who this woman was at her core” that was so sweet. I love how he didn’t force her to change, but showed her so much love and just wanted her to see who God really is, that He isn’t a God of fear but of love and peace!
The epitome of a godly man! Thank you, Jeremy for loving our girl to life!
What I’ve been taught is that God is supposed to be feared makes total sense like there’s BILLIONS of us and only one God all mighty all powerful all knowing creator of everything
the whole “love peace” stuff is often just hypocrisy claiming blah blah blah “love peace forgive/ness” blah blah blah then turning around bullying harassing attacking whoever’s seen as different
Billions of us?@@noorbohamad5796
😂
Now I just hope the rest of her siblings can be free from such false teachings!
The way she doesn’t say Josh’s name but makes sure to say Jana and johns. Mad respect.
I noticed that too. He’s such a disgusting monster to those girls.
Who is Josh? Who is Jana & John? Curious on the context of this comment as I do not know their story.
@@joyjohnson8645Josh is the eldest brother who assaulted Jinger and a few of the other sisters
@@joyjohnson8645 the oldest brother that’s in prison for child pornography.
@@joyjohnson8645Josh was abusive to many of the girls in the family. And is currently in prison for child porn. The others are more siblings. They all have J names
Jeremy and Jinger exude so much wisdom. I’ve never seen someone maintain respect for her parents like this while also publicly decrying the false teaching they raised her in. Such a great episode!
I was raised up in a church where there were so many restrictions & I missed out on so much of my childhood.
When I got older & had a child I refused to raise them up in a certain denomination.
I wanted my child to enjoy her childhood with NO regrets.
It wasn’t until I was older & went to Bible school & in study the word I realized that was man made rules and not Biblical @ all !
It was so freeing and free from the condemnation as well !
Jeremy, has helped Jinger to see it was man made laws.
I love 💕 that he was grounded enough in the word to say No! No ! That’s a faults teaching.
You Go Jeremy!
@trishabaran1521 yes, you are so right, all religions are "man made" your daughter will be happier and healthier mentally not to have been brought up with religion 😊
@@ukwhitewitch
Hope you have a great day!
Dude Jeremy is SO well spoken and so wise. What a blessing.
I just have to stop in the middle of this video to say AMEN!!!! I love that you are preaching about the freedom that we have in Christ and how God sees us the way He sees His son as blameless, righteous, and pure. Not because of anything that we've done but because of what Christ has done. What a witness and so thankful that this platform is being used to bring God glory!!! My favorite episode thus far.
Agreed!!
Jimbob is regretting the day he allowed Jeremy into the family 😊 I’m so happy for her, they are a great couple , free indeed !
Prob even more Derrick Dillard. Like with him the family actually has a fued. But not with Jeremy.
Hopefully Jimbob has been influenced by what an excellent, intelligent son in law he has in Jeremy. That he truly loves his daughter like he does.❤
God brought Jeremy to you for a reason. Theology based on fear is so scary. God is so good, stay in HIS word. You broke free!❤
AMEN 🙌🏻❤️ You took the words right out of mouth. ❤❤❤
Amen
AMEN!!!!!!!🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️‼️
I agree although sadly he and jinger are part of Macarthur church who has also used his theology to hurt so many including encouraging a woman to stay with a husband who was SA his own daughter. I hope they leave that church soon too and find one sound in practice and doctrine
Praise God 🙌🏻 ✨🙌🏻 , he knew What Jinger needed in her Life all along ✨😇✨❣️... They are a Powerful Couple for the younger generation to learn from 😉💭❣️... It 💔 when she cries 😢, that's so Sad n I 🚫 wait to read her book 📚 along with the others Who have been led to write ✍🏻 About their upbringing, I 🚫 say Childhood 🧐 tho Since they really weren't Children 😞❣️... They were in a fishbowl on cameras n raising their siblings n that's Alot 😢❣️... So Sad 😭..
IBLP survivor here. Thank you for this interview. Puzzle pieces are coming together of “Where did I get this from?”
This is so healing for me.
Thank you for this interview, to all of you.
My family attended seminars and purchased material but were never true IBLP converts. Reading and listening to this type of podcast has helped me to understand so much about myself. It’s been such a blessing to bring clarity to confusion.
This is so interesting.
These daughters need to go through religious deconstruction.
I'm so.sorry. That's not Jesus teachings completely a man's twist. 😢
The fear tactics are not only use in the n,as of religion, it’s also used at work, politics, universities, etc.
Thank you Jinger and Jeremy for feeling safe enough to open up on our show!
Jinger and Jill Dugger were my 2 favorite podcasts so far!!!
What happened to peace out dude?!?!
This has been my favourite episode of the podcast so far! Love Jinger & Jeremy ❤ & Matt & Abby too obviously 🙄 lol 😂
I wholeheartedly agree, this has been one of the best episodes you have done. Kudos to you both for having this lovely couple and other members of the Duggar family on your podcast. Continue to stay true to yourselves. I have really enjoyed watching you evolve in your journey.
It seems as if Jinger and Jeremy have not been openly discussing their situation with their friends and family since I heard about Jill Duggar's situation through Jill Duggar's blog
Jeremy taking this opportunity to preach on a podcast is amazing!! Great job Jeremy and jinger by sharing the gospel through your testimony!
yess!!! i love it 🥲🥲🥲
This 👏🏻
My thoughts exactly!
amen!!!
Yes! So well done!
Honestly the Derick and Jill Dillard and Jinger and Jeremy have been my favorite guests so far! They are so wise and both speak in a way that is honoring but truth. Now I gotta read her book lol
If you can you should listen on audible hearing both books from their voices! It’s so powerful!
Both books are very compelling, I read each in one day!!
I think it was nice that jinger didn't say anything against Jill even though they went about things differently. Like with the money stuff. Although now that I'm thinking about it, jinger probably saw the consequences of Jill fighting the money and realized she didn't want to be shunned the way Jill had been.
@lzkt, That's because Jinger may still get some money from her dad when in need. She also didn't want to stand up to her Parents like Jill did! Jill stood up for herself !
I read it as a former IBLP child and it was terrific.
Jinger won the lottery with him. Very happy she married a spiritually and mentally mature man.
As well as he. She is an angel
They are few and far between
24:38 this part of him explaining how God actually views us who have accepted Jesus made me cry! What a simple and beautiful way to put it. That’s grace!
Yes! While I didn't grow up in the IBLP, there were some of the same teachings that I did grow up with and hearing that brought tears to my eyes
A whole sermon on that alone would be great. ❤
I'm not Christian but that was the best breakdown of what Christianity should be I've heard in a very long time. He has an incredible way and I can see that he's probably a very loved pastor
That is beautiful. Love Jesus
Jinger is the embodiment of “Honor thy father and thy mother”. The respect she shows her parents while staying true to her experience is unreal. My jaw dropped when she said, “Well I can’t speak for my parents” and continued to drop as she kept pulling away from them talking about their parents and instead referring to “the system”.
If she does that she's very dispicable
@@christinamanweiler3541you mean parents tend to be detestable jerks to their daughters like mine yet I’m basically stuck with em
lucky me - sarcasm
Very different from Jill.
Jinger is the most healthy and mature of the siblings I have seen. She and Jeremy have their hearts and heads in the right place, motivated by love for God and others, not spite, not wealth, just love.
Jeremy, you did such a good job presenting the Gospel in this show. Jinger, thank you for speaking so graciously about your family and for continually pointing back to the truth of Christ and how He has shown you the truth of his character. ❤
Isn't it strange, her parents were so fearful of outside influences to the extent that there was no worldly music, no team sports, no school, but they invited total strangers into their home and gave them access to their children's rooms?
The kids learned at home
The kids learned at home
The kids learned at home
The kids learned at home
Yeah and they put them on tv despite not letting the kids watch them
The most delicious irony of the Duggar family is that, so far, every single daughter who has married has ended up defecting from the family ideology. Jim Bob chose his daughter's husbands, and their husbands lovingly and compassionately led them away from a cult of control, isolation, repression, and deception. Every single one.
These girls were never treated like whole people by their own parents. They were treated like commodities, and their religion taught them to believe in their own depravity and lack of self-identity. They weren't people; they were vessels.
Then they met young men who treated them with dignity and respect, who treated them like whole people. There's no going back to dehumanization once someone you love has affirmed you are, in fact, a whole person deserving of dignity and respect.
Jessa still follows it.. You never see her in pants, she's doing the same thing her parents did.
@@fawnnelson3369She’s been wearing pants openly in her RUclips videos.
Well said !
I think Joy Anna is pretty immersed in the culture still
Joy isn't. She and Austin attend a different church too.
This is THE BEST interview that i have heard to date with Jinger and Jeremy!! All of the others seem so guarded and scripted. I feel like Jeremy spoke like a normal person and not professional preacher talk. Jinger seemed so much more relaxed and free to speak her mind as well. But everything was done so respectfully as well! Loved it!!
Jeremy you're spitting straight Gospel truths, man! Keep sharing the real and true Gospel unapologetically and bravely! May God keep you and sustain you and your family!
His comments about marriage and love is spot on. So many relationships are so superficial, and so many people don’t understand how love is a choice
I could choose to love anyone!
I grew up around Jinger’s family and she truly is such a genuine and sweet human! I loved this episode and hearing more about her life and testimony, great interview Matt and Abby! 🤍
Are you Jingers age ?? Or are you older?? Are all the kids the same ?Do You like her Parents ?
@@darlabingham6023 I’m actually quite a bit younger than Jinger. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of the Duggars, they’ve always been so genuine and kind to me and my family! They’re honestly such a sweet family.
Jeremy is amazing. Imagine him counseling couples and having to jump through these ridiculous twisted hoops
I really respect and admire how Jinger doesn’t ever dishonor or put down her parents or family even after reviewing how she grew up in the IBLP system. I see her heart and appreciate her level of understanding for her parents mindset and intentions. It’s also so admirable that she didn’t throw the baby out with the bath water and dismiss her relationship with Jesus. I’m amazed at her resolve and dedication in this journey away from the IBLP system and the grace she has exhibited along every step of the way.
Her dad chose her pedo brother over his daughters multiple times. I'm not saying they can't love their parents. But they are clearly conflict avoidance that's ok if what they want but it's not superior to speaking the truth to someone who is practising evil. Jim Bob covered up Josh's crimes and tried to lie about them. The Bible says everything done in the dark will be brought to light. Some conflict is also Biblical.
This was beautifully put 💗
You need to do an interview with Jinger and Jill together.
@@taras6578
I guess I’m just curious if like with Jeremy and Derick or without Jeremy and Derick
I understand Jinger's parents have their issues, but man did they raise a lovely woman. Jinger is beautiful, well spoken, seems to have a heart of gold and is just an all around lovely human being. Among a lot of wrongs, they certainly did something right.
Childre in the IBLP also largely raise themselves. I know this because I was raised with a lot of those teachings. Raising children is rules and fear by and large not actually lovingly shaping the person. I'm not saying her parents did everything wrong but not everything about who Jinger is today is due to her parents. She herself said she was very fearful and a different persons years ago.
Agree
Some people are lovely despite their parents.
Really? She is meek, weak and soft in her words. And still believes in a bunch of nonsense hogwash. It’s just slightly different hogwash.
You can tell the guy is more cocky and confident, he seems like a know it all. and she’s more weak. She’s pretty uneducated, which isn’t all her fault since her parents never sent her to school, ever, but she seems the type to be a follower
Wow, this is what marriage must do for two people. Very moved by their decision to remain respectful to the duggar mum and dad.
So glad they respected and protected her parents who protected her sexual abuser brother.
a GOOD marriage can do this for two people.
Jinger and Jeremy seem like such a wonderful, loving and level-headed couple!! I give Jinger so much credit for leaving the IBLP - which must have been incredibly hard but only proves how strong she really is. Jeremy seems like a very supportive husband!!
I remember watching the show and thinking "Jinger is going to break free from this someday!" What a blessing it is to see her love for Jesus, her respect for her parents and her complete freedom from legalism. Great interview!❤
This is the only interview I’ve watched start to finish. I love hearing from genuine individuals who are not out to gain recognition or attention like many (not all) of the mainstream tic tockers. Jinger and Jeremy have pure intentions and have really wise insight they are able to convey to this generation. Thanks for having these guests on your platform Matt & Abby.
I am so happy for Jinger. She found a such a kind guy to share her life with!
I love that Matt and Abby allowed them to share freely regarding their faith and beliefs.
They share the same beliefs on Christianity cause I believe they were raised with Christian influence by their parents
This was a very thought-provoking conversation and I appreciate how Matt and Abby sat down with them and let them speak for themselves.
I really pray this planted a seed.
Planted a seed in who?
I so agree!!!!!! ❤❤❤
@@erb611her siblings and whoever else grew up that way.
@@aj25055I think we’re both implying that it planted a seed in Matt and Abby’s mind, heart + soul!
@@mariahl.2052 Abby and Matt are Christians!
They are in SUCH a good, healthy place & relationship with God now. I am so, so in awe listening to them speaking about their life and relationship with the Bible and their faith. I am so glad they have found their place.
I loved this episode. I just found out YESTERDAY that a friend I've known for years grew up with the Duggars, went to Bible studies at their house, and played broomball with them as kids. I knew she grew up in a conservative Christian community in Arkansas but I had no idea that she knew them personally. The stories she has are incredible. She said she wants to read Jinger's and Jill's books but hasn't quite gotten to a place in healing from religious trauma that she feels ready without being triggered
I read both Jinger and Jill’s books. I’m a child abuse survivor so I understand your friend. Prayers
I really appreciate how you let your guests do most of the talking. Also how you didn't bring up all that stuff with Jinger's oldest brother. I really got to hear Jinger and Jeremy's voices.
They also did the same thing with Jill and Derrick. Ultimately it’s not about their oldest brother, it’s them speaking their truth, plus I think they’ve been asked about their oldest brother enough, and it’s emotionally too much.
Jinger and Jeremy have quickly become some of my favorite "influencers". They are both so well spoken and truly seem like genuine, good people. ❤
Just bought the book after listening to this episode! The wisdom and humility Jinger has is so different and unique. And Jeremy's leadership and understanding and probably patience with the whole process is so incredible.
What’s sad is that Jinger is essentially saying that if she makes a big deal about not getting paid from the show her parents will disown her. That’s just so messed up.
She knows what happened to Jill. Sadly money clearly matters to Jim Bob more than his own children
I understand why they didn't push it but I am so glad that Derick and Jill did. (Probably owe that to Derick more than Jill but...) People need to know that those kids were making money for the show and not being given any of it. And it's wrong. I really respect Jill and Jinger both even with different approaches.
I don't think that's what she's saying at all. Though I can see how it can be perceived that way. People are driven by different things. Her sister pushing for the money is not wrong, because she deserves to be paid. But some people are genuinely not driven by money. I think what Jinger is saying is that if there's any chance she can maintain a relationship with her family, she will do it. But it's on her terms. I think both sisters are awesome and went about it so awesome.
Kids parts was to placed in
A trust fund
I had OCD as a teenager, “if I do this will something bad happen?” It sounds like they essentially give hundreds of kids OCD.
Religious ocd is called scrupulosity
True OCD is not a curable disorder, it is treatable with behaviour modification and exposure therapy, as well as medication and counselling. One can have tendencies of OCD but not be diagnosed. Scrupulosity is being overly concerned that something one does or thinks might be a sin or violation of religious or moral doctrine.
Religious scrupulously
Having a daughter like Jinger Is winning the lottery of Life. ❤
i love how jeremy lets her talk and tell her story. always watched the duggars growing up and i really admire jinger for her testimony & keeping her children off social media
Jeremy, I love your passion for Christ and how you are ministering to so many just through this conversation.
I have been a Christian for a long time. Yet. I still struggle with how God sees me because I know I am so imperfect. I so needed to hear this. Thank you, Jinger and Jeremy, for being so transparent and willing to share. Thank you, Matt and Abby, for having them on.
We’re All imperfect doesn’t really matter perfection as far as I’m concerned just doesn’t really exist in this world
From what I hear from Jill and Jinger, I find it admirable how much they respect their parents and realize that they just wanted the best for them. They give them a lot of grace, and I feel like we should all learn from that.
Well said.
I loved how Jinger didn’t even say the oldest brother name. His name doesn’t even deserve to be said out loud!
You’re so right!
Well said !
I love how well Jeremy communicates. It’s so interesting to hear him talk.
Jinger, thank you so much for talking about the fear that was engrained in you by these teachings. I also grew up in a church school with similar teachings and constantly lived in fear that I would do something wrong and something bad would happen. It is still hard for me at times to overcome the thoughts and beliefs that were taught to me at a young age.
Jeremy and Jinger you were very well spoken, mature, and gave your message in such an honoring way! Thank you for speaking truth and saying the hard things to help others. Well done faithful servants!
Really good interview. Jinger seems way more natural, compared to her formal tv interviews for her book. She's relaxed here, and really opened up. Great to see.
This show highlights of how smart Ginger is. Also Jeremey is a very smart man.
I grew up homeschooled with the IBLP background and going to what I called “homeschool camp” which was the Big Sandy conference. In 2018 we started going to the Duggars house every Friday, such a sweet family and I made great friends, we had to wear skirts at Big Sandy and their house which we didn’t have to do in our day to day lives (which was so lukewarm and confusing) my parents say “chew the meet, spit out the bones” (I do not agree with) but long story short. I saw an interview about Jinger releasing her book and she and Jeremy speaking on it, and I completely had a melt down because everything I had known felt like a lie. So my husband surprised me with her book and it completely changed my life. I’m beyond thankful Jinger decided to do what she did. And now have an even closer relationship with God than ever because I’m not scared anymore. The teachings were absolutely confusing and my family/parents still are teaching it. So still have to navigate through that. And still disentangling some things step by step. But I have faith that God has a plan. Thank you Matt and Abby for having them on! I couldn’t wait to watch!
So glad you found your way out of that! The "chew the meat, spit out the bones" CAN be a good way to see life but then again, I can't imagine making my family attend IBLP, wear skirts and "act the part" and pretend .... that would be SO confusing to children! 😥
My dad went to a few IBLP conferences in the 70's but ultimately saw it for what it was. We had a beautifully illustrated book with short stories in it that was a Gothard book and my dad would read to us here and there but would come to a part that was "off" and would say, "okay that's weird.." and skip it. LOL
The key is to know scripture and only use that as a measuring stick to all other teachings and ideas!
I loved this podcast! The way Jinger and Jeremy talked about their faith and the changing of their faith was beautiful!
Absolutely love how respectful ginger and Jeremy are. Great example ❤
Loved their perspective so much. I was raised in Christianity and had a lot of fear even around those teachings and Jeremy's breakdown of the word is truly eye opening! Love it.
Raised with healthy Christianity. -Knowing the Lord Jesus was my savior. But none of this weird stuff where it controlled your life completely. You’ve got to use a lot of common sense when learning about the Bible and a relationship with the Lord.
There was a reason that God brought Jeremy into Jinger's life. Major respect for her and Jeremy respecting her parents but still having and making their own thoughts and decisions.
This was a very well done interview kudos to you all
Jinger and her husband are very smart, well-spoken people.
This is one of my most favorite podcasts you’ve ever done! I loved hearing Jinger and Jeremy explaining first-hand what their experiences were.
1:22:09 love how she didn’t even say her “oldest brothers” name 😮💨 she was so smooth with that, good work Jinger… he’s not even worth naming 👏 Happy to see her and Jeremy doing well and not sharing their kids online… they are FREE indeed ❤
Im so happy that you guys are so supportive of your guses so that they feel comfortable opening up love yall podcast ♥️♥️
Bruh they don’t even realize how privileged a fortunate they even are hope ur able to realize that a grow up like they need to !
So thankful for the power of Gods Word. Truth really does set us free! 🙌🏻
He really liked and accepted her and her world! He did a lot to be with her. Huge props to him. They seem normal to have gone through all that.
I'm glad they touched on the fact that reading the Bible requires learning and diving into context, historical and author/audience. The Bible was written at a different time, in a different culture, and those influences are present as the Bible was written by men.
I also learned what unconditional love was when I had my daughter. The way I saw and felt about her, I was able to connect to how God sees and feels about me. I have so much more peace and joy in my relationship with God now, with that understanding.
So much respect for this couple! I grew up Amish and leaving that culture was hard because I loved my people.
Then why leave?
Watched Duggars for years. This was my favorite interview.
I am so glad to hear Ginger speak her own truth. You can tell these two have really put the work and love into their relationship.
My brain is blown already just from the first 20 minutes
I used to watch the show, but eventually stopped. I have not yet read Jinger's book, but will eventually. I haven't made an effort to keep up with the Duggar family. But I am SO impressed with Jeremy and Jinger's maturity - both human and spiritual. Couples who counsel with him/them before and during married life are fortunate. I'm 66. Married the first time at barely 19. Married second time at age 46. I wish I'd had someone to walk me through the many topics they mentioned in Mr. Duggar's questionnaire before both marriages!!
A very thoughtful conversation with Jeremy and
Jinger...a quiet steadfastness which honors their beliefs and the courage it took Jinger to write her book ...much respect
Thank you so much, Matt & Abby for having Jinger and Jeremy on! It’s amazing that even after all the IBLP trauma, they still have relationships with Jesus! It was sooo good when Jeremy talked about Jesus’s blood covering everything. No matter where you are in life, no one is too far gone for the love of Jesus. Thanks :) I loved hearing people not afraid to open up about their faith!
Amazing interview. These guests radiate the Light of Christ!
as someone that grew up watching x kids and counting, i love watching all these interviews with jinger and jessa. i wanna read all the books they’ve written and i am so happy that they have gotten away from that environment and i’m glad they realized that it wasn’t a healthy relationship. I liked the show growing up bc i always wanted a big family and i wanted a ton of siblings and such but i hated the fact that the parents were so strict and that they couldn’t hold hands with anyone until they were already like engaged. even at like 8 years old i was like “thats a bit much”
I have so much respect for Jinger and her bravery. I grew up watching the Duggars and was a part of a form of IBLP and traditionalism. It is so comforting to know that we are not alone with our own healing journeys. Love to you all
So happy u guys invited Jeremy n Jinger!!!
Loved how u guys let them share n made them so comfortable that Jinger felt safe in the conversation to really let her emotions release. Absolutely wonderful episode!!
I think u guys could be great friends with them!!
Such a great episode!!! Thank you for giving Jinger & Jeremy an amazing platform to share their testimonies 🤍
Jinger and Jeremy are so well spoken and seem like genuinely good, sweet people. I'm not a religious person, but I enjoyed listening to their story and hearing their perspectives on religion. Interesting episode!
I love that Jinger said that she wants to stay in the good graces of her family and friends to eventually help them out of the IBLP!
I've always liked Jinger She was one of my favorites from the show. I'm glad she got out of that life.
I remember thinking she's going to be the one that rebels. Not the first but she definitely did. Thank goodness each of them that gets out of it.
Whenever I think of a title, I think of books, movies, magazines, or even TV programs that I am able to relate to at the same time
Jeremy is a great speaker and Jinger is so genuine and kind. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable.
Jeremy talks in a way that makes you understand. Thank you Jeremy. And Jinger.
God used Jinger’s book to change my life! So nice to hear this interview with her and Jeremy.
The fact she came from Michele and Jim bob blows my mind 😮 she turned out to be such a lovely, smart woman.. I hope she continues to find success and continues to speak out
As someone who grew up in a church environment but was torn apart from it thanks to certain members who ruined everything when it didn’t go their way I had a really difficult time navigating my relationship with the church when I was in high school as a result of that and although we found a new church and a new church family it has never really been the same for me since so I thoroughly enjoyed reading Jinger’s book because despite her experience and trauma she was able to stay strong with her faith and I so admired her for that! Although I am currently in a phase where I only attend church twice a year I am still doing the work of god in my life and enjoy listening to Christian music so I’m figuring out how to navigate things on my own terms and where I stand and what I want that to look like which hasn’t been easy but I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.
I absolutely LOVE the fact that you guys have so many people I have watched on RUclips and/or tv, on the podcast. It’s amazing.
The Truman show being the first movie ever to watch is actually amazing. That was a good choice hubby.
Great teaching on the meaning of marriage and preparing for a lifetime of sacrificial love
I have Jingers book and I loved it! She is so brave and inspiring to step out of what her family deemed normal for so long… definitely a girl to look up to!
The unplanned podcast has now become one of my favorites, and I am a huge podcast girl!! You guys are killing it with the guest
Wow. Thank you Jeremy and Jinger for sharing the Gospel in such a beautiful way! Fantastic speakers, God bless you two for talking about Jesus so openly, especially on a platform that doesn’t talk about religion. God is truth ❤
I'm glad Jinger thought to mention the distorted view of adoption that Gothard taught. The Bible literally describes all throughout how God adopts us as sons and daughters despite our past sin and trauma. I'm very grateful that I'm involved in a church community that is extremely pro-adoption!
well, Bill Gothard also thought he was the authority on marriage and children, and was never married himself or had children.
Oo that is such a GREAT point!
@@paulan7218sounds like a way of saying that he’s been claiming to know about
what he doesn’t really know?
What a great interview! It was kind, thoughtful, open and informative. Thanks so much!
Wow! Such a great interview, thanks for having them on! Their answers and explanations are such great explanations, love it!
AMEN!! We're saved through Jesus alone, not what we do. So encouraging to hear! Thank you!! x
I could listen to jinger and Jeremy talk for days-
I’m just coming here to say I love seeing the life and light in Abby and Matt’s eyes when they say “baby butts rejoice”
It’s beautiful watching someone do what they love 😂❤ shout it from the rooftop
