263: Jill Duggar is "Monetizing Her Trauma" (And She Has Every Right To)

Read my Full Article: https://preacherboys.substack.com/p/jill-duggar-is-monetizing-her-traumaAs Jill Duggar says in her book, she had to keep her reality separate from the narrative presented on reality TV.What people had seen in the past was essentially Jim Bob's twisted narrative.Now, she's brave enough to share the truth about her experiences for the first time ever.We should support that, just as we should support any survivors in telling their own stories how they see fit.✖️✖️✖️Past Duggar Coverage: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3bVHY_fIafUy_064Kb55IaE3CSOtK9tC✖️✖️✖️Support the Preacher Boys Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:- preacherboyspodcast.com- https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/- https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.

258: Inside Jill Duggar's Book | Counting the Cost Review

Purchase a copy of Counting the Cost here: https://amzn.to/3LsOXNjFor the first time, discover the unedited truth about the Duggars, the traditional Christian family that captivated the nation on TLC’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting. Jill Duggar and her husband Derick are finally ready to share their story, revealing the secrets, manipulation, and intimidation behind the show that remained hidden from their fans.Jill and Derick knew a normal life wasn’t possible for them. As a star on the popular TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Jill grew up in front of viewers who were fascinated by her family’s way of life. She was the responsible, second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle’s nineteen kids; always with a baby on her hip and happy to wear the modest ankle-length dresses with throat-high necklines. She didn’t protest the strict model of patriarchy that her family followed, which declares that men are superior, that women are expected to be wives and mothers and are discouraged from attaining higher education, and that parental authority over their children continues well into adulthood, even once they are married.But as Jill got older, married Derick, and they embarked on their own lives, the red flags became too obvious to ignore.For as long as they could, Jill and Derick tried to be obedient family members—they weren’t willing to rock the boat. But now they’re raising a family of their own, and they’re done with the secrets. Thanks to time, tears, therapy, and blessings from God, they have the strength to share their journey. Theirs is a remarkable story of the power of the truth and is a moving example of how to find healing through honesty.✖️✖️✖️RESOURCES MENTIONED:➡️ My appearance on the Surviving Bob Jones University Podcast: https://bit.ly/3LrOfQi➡️ 30 Days of Courage (FREE Virtual Event for Survivors): https://www.courage365.org/thirty➡️ Past coverage of Mountain Avenue Baptist Church: https://youtu.be/zCi_4byxIVA➡️ Purchase Counting the Cost: https://amzn.to/3LsOXNj________________Support the Preacher Boys Podcast:https://www.patreon.com/preacherboysPurchase a Preacher Boys shirt, mask, sticker, or other merch to rep the show! https://www.teepublic.com/user/preacher-boys-podcast________________CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:- preacherboyspodcast.com- https://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/- https://twitter.com/preacherboysdoc- https://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/To connect with a community who shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/This episode is sponsored by/brought to you by BetterHelp.
