I love that Jinger was able to keep her faith and love for Jesus, while disentangling herself from the rest, and I love that she's sharing to help others to do the same. I can clearly see how much more depth she has now in her faith.
MARRYING KIDS OFF AT 18 and 19 yo is sick and it’s mainly one ethnicity in the states who support that foolishness
I grew up in a very religious family. Once I got old enough to read the Bible and understand it for myself I started to realize things were off and growing up thinking God was just waiting for me to mess up so he could punish me was WRONG. The love God has for us is unmatchable. And how he longs for relationship with people.
This conversation will change lives......Praise God for His hand on her life.
Not in a good way
Yes, it will. God is a loving, caring God. He has chosen Jinger to tell the truth. Not to listen to people who read versus and change them to control people. Thank you for listening to God and sharing what he put upon your heart. Bless you
@@lanatrapp1589 Funny how he didn’t choose her, her sister, or anybody to _not_ go through the hell they did/do.

It’s so important that we share the distinction for our children between Bible commands and what are personal standards based on how the Lord has led us. I’m so glad that she addressed that!
Such foolishness is not supported in scripture, because all of the Bible is based on God's law. The Bible explicitly teaches about the folly of relying on human reasoning, and in no instance would God ever lead someone in a direction that suits their own desires.
We must not forget that DECEPTION is a FALL from the serpents cunningness. The battle is not with people but the spirit of the 'age'
I relate to her on the fact that I have been disentangling from the LDS faith. So, many like me who find out the LDS church is false, give up Jesus. I love Jesus. And I always will. Thank you for the beautiful example and testimony, Jinger.
I love Jesus too. I am a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.
@@bopeep86 Another cult! Ruby Franke fan?
Great story, Jinger! relate to this in many ways. I was LDS for 45 years. I went into the faith at 17 and did all the typical Mormon check list. Mission, marriage in the temple, Bishopric , Stake and area assignments . God got hold of me in 2019 and transformed my life. I give praise and honor daily for what He has done. When I was LDS I Didn’t know Jesus the way I do now. Mormonism wants the world to believe they are Christian. Even Gordon B Hinkley stated that the LDS worship a different God than Christianity. I don’t dislike LDS people. I was one for 45 years. Keep loving and serving God 🙏
What a wonderful interview...I can completely see the two of them truly stepping into ministry to set captives free that are held bound by a religious system instead of a true relationship with God. There is a shift occurring that is causing many to awaken to the righteousness of Christ and not the traditions of man.
It's AMAZING how much Jinger has grown up and changed coming unto her own woman..So glad she spoke up and out..Such grace
So proud of you Jinger! Your grace and humility are beautiful!
She “re-examined” and “unraveled”....this is a great testimony! We all need to extract the good and do away with questionable teachings. They are an amazimg couple! ❤
I really respect the way in which you’re going about this topic. It doesn’t sound like you’re bashing your family at all. You’re just sharing your story and your journey without dragging other people into it. I respect it.
Totally and I respect her for that. Because at the end of the day, a person that reveres God is also mindful that you'll stand before the judgment seat of Christ and be answerable for yourself. It would be nice to give thanks to the hardworking parents although we all fail yet, God is doing a mighty work. It is a journey for all and none is immune to trials. God allows trials for the godly growth.
Jinger is so well spoken and has an ease with her knowledge that is needed when teaching the word of God. God bless this family.
Yes she is. She has a powerful voice for God. I could see her doing more talks and speeches if she so chooses.
Great to see Jinger and Jill walk away from such a harmful upbringing and stop the cycle of abuse. Yes, it is abuse to allow your child to be molested and do nothing about it!
I googled her she and her husband are going to a Wonderful church now.
Beautifully articulated, Ginger has a ministry to share her story with people with a background of wrong teaching. Therefore , setting them free with the truth. She accomplishes this without attacking those in the wrong. Beautiful job ,Ginger! I pray God will bless you
I'm 73 and can relate COMPLETELY! Raised in a fundamental Baptist church I had so much fear and then bitterness later in life. My phrase was, I always felt as if God we're standing over me with a baseball bat. As a teen I went to a drive in movie. I continuously looked to the skies expecting the Lord would return and catch me there and punish me. I never believed I would be good enough for Jesus no matter what. So my life turned to MANY years of promiscuity. Praise God, He continued to love and mold me and at age 70 I finally realized and found true freedom in Christ through His Word! Thank you Jinger for speaking for so so many of us tangled in a web of fear and legalism.❤
@@ShelliHunterSmith There was not just one lightbulb moment. It was a culmination of feeding on scripture day after day and crying out to the Holy Spirit to show me the truth in His Word. I was having a LOT of insomnia and spent that time in the Word and prayer. The truth of His Word set me free a little more each day. And when it did, the air literally smelled fresh. There really is truth in the Word and listening to the Spirit speak that truth to me like I had NEVER heard before. Trust Him and be willing to listen to Him and nothing else!!!! There’s an old saying, “Too many cooks in the kitchen spoil the broth.” I found that to be true when it comes to wanting to know the Truth God has for me. His voice is what lead me out of the darkness. His Word and His voice alone. ❤️
Thank you
I love Jinger and her love for the Lord and her hunger for truth! I grew up identical to the way she did and am also still unraveling truth from error. But I respect the fact that she didn’t let go of the good things she was taught but just the unbiblical things. This is what I’ve strived to do as well. So many of my friends who were raised with me in the same cultish church have left faith in God and BIBLICAL boundaries and just gone wild. To me it’s so sad when one can’t see the good that they were taught and extract that if you will, from the bad. Jinger I’d such a light shining in darkness and I’m so glad she is using her platform to still glorify God.
Thank you and God bless you. Totally! It is a fallen world and it is clinging to what is good and throw away what is not good that she (we) learned to do. That is mature spiritual growth. Once a child step into war against parents and entangle others, that is when I draw the line. After all it is biblical and love covers the multitudes of sins.
I’ll say it again. Go Jinger Go. She is spreading good news.
What an incredible interview. Jinger is so soft spoken that's what makes listen to her so easy.
What a great conversation, thank you Kirk for hosting Jinger, your team did a great job!!
This girl rocks. She has her faith and lives life how she chooses. Being a far better parent than she was cursed with. Gotta admire that!!!
Love the kindness and grace that is expressed throughout this interview.
Thank you for sharing this. It really helps someone like me, who wants to love the Lord, but how I hate legalism. I’m working on disentangling, so thank you.
I pray that your disentangling will be of the leading of the Holy Spirit that will give you true peace that glorifies Christ. After all it is that God is working in you both to will and do according to His good pleasure.
AMEN!!! Thank you Jinger for speaking TRUTH!!!
Love this ! Love her and it’s just so amazing to see how God is using her story to bring freedom to many more! Look at you God 🙌💕!!!
What a good lesson in always questioning man and what they are saying, and checking it with the Bible and prayer.
And his glory shines through her !!! So Beautiful !!!
What a intelligent beautiful woman she is. God definitely chose her to spread the truth. ❤❤❤❤
I’m so proud of Jinger Duggar!!!💕
What a beautiful story. Her perspective of the Bible, of the love of Christ, and the understanding of the Gospel is so lovely. I am grateful for her husband's heart as well.
I love that she came to question. God allows, even to calls us to question our pastors and teachers. Is it correct? Is it a different perspective? Is it what you believe? Your relationship with God is between you and God. It is personal. Always seek God, seek understanding, and seek the truth. ❤
I am a bit trouble about this interview. I understand that unfortunately she had to endure some of these awful things. But I hope she understand that being homeschooled her waiting to be married to kiss dress modesty etc. are truly a blessing anf having her parents teaching her these things is a blessing. Yes there are errors for sure, but her parents meant well.
I have been praying for years that eyes would be open. Praise God Ginger!!!! Your an answer to prayer!!!
"Seeing that God is not going to smite you if you step outside this box"
I love the description on disentangle. It is so true for many who grow up in high demand households wether due to religion or abuse I’ve been disentangling for 20 years❤
Jinger you are going to be a vessel for God on giving people those "light bulb" moments of the actual truth!
She already is. She chose to follow what God put upon her heart. We do what God says. Not someone who reads a verse and changes it to be their authority. Keep doing your work, Jinger.
I so can relate to SOME of her upbringing. Growing up in a Catholic home, my parents and some of my older siblings taught us to be scared of most thinks in this world and grew up scared. Now, as a Born again, Christian woman, wife and mother decision I wouldn’t do that to my family. And, also now counsel my parents and siblings of what God’s true Word says about how we were brought up. Jinger seems to be such a good Christian role model for today’s young ladies, wives and Mother’s. I really enjoyed her book!
@user-wg5dm6oc3t Actually you find the truth from Christ. I was a Catholic.
A conversation very much needed. So happy that she is walking knowing the true love of Our Heavenly Father his mercy his embrace. Totally enjoyed this conversation
What a nice conversation- Jinger is clear and compelling and wonderful questions from Kirk!
I’ve seen a couple other interviews with Ginger, and this is the first one where the the questions asked by Kirk, gave her the opportunity to answer in a much broader way, allowing Ginger to describe in detail, her awareness of the differences between God’s Word with biblical truth, vs the leader of a church, USING the Lord’s word, to control his flock.
What a great testimony of how to pick out the lies in your life while also clinging to the love of the father. She’s right we will never be perfect we just know the one who is which gives us the grace and strength to be transformed and turn away frm our sin and not use Gods grace as an excuse to keep sinning but to keep asking Holy Spirit for help and understanding and practice self discipline and obedience soo we don’t keep harming ourselves. We go from faith to faith believing we will always be loved by a perfect father and he is transforming us into his holiness even as we are progressing little by little and it’s hard to see. He sees his children as righteous and holy even when we can’t see it ourselves
I have gone through this too. I think it is a lot prevalent than we hear about. I praise God for keeping me and building me back up according to His word. Thank you, Jinger, for sharing your story.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. ❤
So proud to have got to listen and know you blessings Kirk to you with your life and success, amen 🙏🙏🙏💯💕God bless you and your family always amen 🙏 🙏🙏❤️
Love this! So thankful for you for sharing your story! I was raised in a home that bought into a lot of these ideas, although not nearly to the level that the Duggars did, but it still instilled in me a lot of fear. I came to know in a greater way what God's grae truly is and what it means for us in college at a small Bible college called Northland International University. There's a wonderful sense of freedom.
So many preachers eisegete! So glad Jinger is out of the IBLP and now learns from true, biblical expositors. 😊🌷📖
Father God, my strength is gone. Your Word says I can do all thing through your son Jesus Christ. Give me strength. I trust in you even as I constantly struggle to pay my rent and as I constantly struggle to provide groceries for my children! Walking with faith is the most important thing us christian’s must do. As a single mom, things are tough on me. Both of my sons are autistic. I’m constantly struggling to provide for my boys. I’m overwhelmed and so ashamed and now that I’m home schooling them I’m having trouble getting their school supplies. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fear of homelessness. I have faith you will get me through this hard time. Amen.
Ma'am you have gone on several christian pages telling this story and I PRAY that your not lying bc I've seen others call you out
correct; its FAKE!! on hundreds of christian sites!! @@christiabreeden7777
FAKE!!!
she or he is everywhere, just keep reporting. its sad. i pray for conviction@@christiabreeden7777
Your book was incredible... While I did not follow the teaching of that institution, I did get many of my beliefs from various televised teachers that caused so much fear and confusion. It took many years to untangle what IS truth versus twist. Thank you for sharing your story and glorifying Christ, it is beautiful.
She comes across as kind and gentle and compassionate in speaking the truth about what she learned. Praise God for His mercy and grace in all this.
Mind blown!!! She described everything I grew up with…and there’s so much more to it.
Loved this interview, thanks so much!
Amazing conversation. So proud of her ❤
I read your book, Jinger, and it was amazing! I learned so much & shared with a friend who also learned so much. Your book & testimony were a blessing to us. Thank you!
Beautifully spoken!! So True for many.
Jeremy- thank you for following the word of God and the Holy Spirit and leading your family
Well done Jinger, so very well said! You've grown so so much. God's hand is on you, he lives within you.
So glad she spoke out!!! She finally found a real relationship with Jesus!!!
Excellent interview. She’s a sweetheart.
Loved watching this, Jinger is one of my favorite Duggers she to me feels to be so true to her beliefs and came to be her own person and have been able to see how she has learned more of her Christian faith from what she was told as she was growing up. Love you Jinger from the great state of Oklahoma. Kirk thank you so much I am also a fan of yours from watching you in your sitcom to the serif Left Behind I have the book series and read them quite often.
I was spiritually abused over 20 yrs ago, I’m still not over it completely, Lordship Salvation KILLS the spirit and destroys the mind.
She is such a beautiful person who is so wise
Great interview! So happy she could keep her faith thru everything
Fantastic interview!
What’s interesting is how often both Jinger and Jeremy use the word “interesting” to start their response. Love these two. ❤
Anyone else notice how she answered nearly every question beginning with, “it’s interesting…”
"I'm not viewed in my sin." Good quote. Great interview.
Excellent interview! ❤
I didn’t “see” the truth until God revealed the truth about the legalistic faith I was subject to. I absolutely could NOT “see” until the Lord opened my eyes.
Jinger I'm so thankful that you learned truth and that you were able to break free. God is so good.
Leagalism has never worked. Just like with the Pharisees! Jesus knew Jinger’s heart and got her out of that. So awesome!!
Excellent interview! Jinger was very well spoken and interesting!!
Such wisdom!
I'm always grateful when people are willing to share their lives, in their words, full context. As so many in this world are fighting against God's words, I'm glad that Jinger kept her love for Christ and decided to study scripture. She is a kind and beautiful soul. She can help others understand that God is our loving Father.
Kirk Cameron & Jinger Vuolo TBN - PLEASE PLEASE Keep having these conversation. I don't know if your aware but in 2024 there will be a second documentary targeting Bill Goatherd and their entire organization and teaching. I feel it is CRITICAL that the church have a Godly and compassionate and truthful response. We need the whole story and hundreds of thousands of Christians have been both negatively and positively effected by these teachings and WE the body of CHIRST need to be prepared and hear more conversation like this!!! THANK YOU
My Mom loved her God rest her precious soul. I miss my Mom. Kirk would love to talk. Mark
Appreciate Jinger so much!
That was beautiful! I came out of some similar teachings, and so I can really understand what you're both saying. Thank you for sharing, because these conversations are so vital to the spiritual health of the Body of Christ.
🌺Ginger🤗When I was watching a show back when “Counting On” started, a preview of you Duggars came on and it caught my attention when I heard the words COURTING!! I was interested to know more about it.👏🏽Dating with a Purpose 💝I admired that about your parents. They’re sacrifices and commitment surely encouraged me💪🏾 It really was inspiring 🙏God Bless you and thank you for sharing your heart Ginger💖
Jinger😀😅
You did an amazing job of editing this interview
I didn’t have the same sort of experiences as jinger but my foundation for everything I understood was based in Catholicism, and I spent many years in bondage, feeling like I needed to earn my salvation. Even though I wasn’t a catholic anymore, I held on to the foundation of it. When the world “beat me up” so to speak, I ended up falling away from my faith for 2 years. I didn’t have the energy to muscle my salvation and take everything the world was handing me. God was calling at me, and I knew I needed to repair that relationship. When I came back, he really started working in me. He gave me the revelation I needed, and I now understand I don’t have to earn my salvation. I don’t have to “get myself right” before I could be worthy enough to be in relationship with Him. He knows me. He loves me. He hears me, and he answers my prayers. He guides me, and suddenly I feel complete and utter freedom and peace. I don’t have to force myself to be patient, forgiving, faithful, and joyful and have peace. Those are the fruits He gives me. I'm truly free, as well and what a blessing. Jesus doesn't want us to live in shame, because it holds us at arms length. I could never earn my salvation - It was a gift, that's the whole point. Accept it, enjoy it and praise JESUS!
Great respectful interview.❤
“Unmarried girls at 30 or 40 have to live at home and it’s a sad perspective they could be serving the lord”……sounds like she’s referencing her oldest sister Jana who is in her 30’s and has always lived at home.
important message.. been there, done that..
I liked this interview & how Jinger has evolved from the teachings of her childhood growing up yrs. It's hard to explain to some people the extent of the control a child grows up with in an ungodly environment. When a child hears one way presented & scripture used out of context for the benefit of control, it's hard to break away from that. I think what really helped Jinger to see things in a different light is moving with Jeremy to LA. I then she was able to see the Bible & it's teachings for the way it is supposed to be. Also I think Jeremy helped too by questioning the teachings of Gothard & helping Jinger to see the scripture in context with Jesus's teachings.
I'm curious how that all went with her parents. I too grew up being taught from the same "man of God"and so I am curious what her parents say about it all now.
Jinger embodies a perfect healing story found in Jesus Christ. A correct view of who God is with no anger or bitterness towards fellow human beings. A story of true beauty.
I think that back when I was very young, my mom was a new Christian, my dad who grew up as a pastor's son re-dedicated himself to God, and there was a lot of confusion about these things and I even remember my church being this way, but then I saw changes in both. My parents told us that if we questioned something we were doing to just stop and think, if Jesus were to walk in the room and saw you doing it what would he think. That stuck with me. Then years later WWJD was the thing. Then I heard a pastor say once that beliefs were often what we humans write and sign Jesus's name to. That's so true and often turns so many away from church. We all fail and fall, but we have a loving Heavenly Father who forgives us. God bless you!
This is good . This really ministered to me thank you
Great testimony Jinger!!! God is so Good!!!
This is such an excellent, heartfelt interview. 👉🏼I have a question though, for Kirk or Jinger: what do you mean specifically by superstition in regard to what you came to realize was erroneous about your theological upbringing? I am 100% with you on disentangling and weighing every little thing against the Scripture and believing what the Word says, in lieu of what man declares it says, no matter how authoritatively. (Also: I am so glad she didn’t just deconstruct like so many people do, rather than doing the hard work of digging into the Word in prayer, and honestly seeking the Lord.)
I was in a cult too , I woke up from it when our church suddenly changed all of the things we believed in and then I found a catholic priest name on the bottom of some of the teaching. I am glad I am no longer in it.
So glad she was rescued from this cult and now lives in the truth. No music with drums? There were drums in the Bible. Some of these things still confuse me.
They likely disapproved of men with facial hair. I remember many people in the 70's were very much bent out of shape over the issue. A few still are. I'm clean shaven, by the way, because my wife says beards make men look older. So I never had a personal stake in that frivolous issue.
Most, or at least many of us, probably know who this teacher is. I won't mention his name because it hasn't been mentioned up until now. He made great inroads into Evangelical churches in the 70's because his views seemed to he a good antidote for all that was wrong in society. Eventually it degenerated into a lot of abuse, wrecking churches, breaking up families, etc. It was the perfect setting for tyrants and other abusers. "I'm in charge, so shut up " was frequently said or something like that.
Praise God! They hit the nail on the head.
Great book!
This is important for everyone to question what is being taught in their churches as well. A lot of people mean well, but there’s a lot of manipulation, fear and control in local churches . If you go against some churches bylaws that doesn’t entirely lineup with scripture. Many do not welcome that. As we study, we really realize it is the faith of Christ, how wonderful it is to know that God has a remnant chosen by grace and there’s nothing we could do or not do to earn or lose our salvation.💜🌿
There is a huge difference between following the word of god and having a preacher put his spin on the word.
It was a really good show like how the questions that were asked and then Ginger answer them wholeheartedly I know their family does love Jesus and it's awesome to see that but it goes to show you that there are teachings out that may lead us astray and we have to keep our eyes on him and he leads us.
It always astounds me how many Christians in church for years, rely on some teacher, preacher or family member for what to believe when they have a Bible they can read for themselves! Why is that?
I’m so glad! God is amazing how he works it all out!
I love this!
This ia such a humbling message. As I write this message. I was disconnected from my internet. I truly believe I am being deliberately disconnected from my faith.
I wonder why she doesn’t mention Bill Gothard’s name? She’s been very open about him and his teachings before.
Because she is wise.😉
She mentions it in other discussions. Your above comment was the first time I heard his name in this discussion. She probably didn't want him to be center of discussion or the interviewer requested his name not be used.
@@stephenkammerling9479 She’s been very open about naming him in interviews with Allie Stuckey, Alisa Childers and others.
@@fishtail1129 I said she mentions Gothard's name in other discussions. For some reason she doesn't in this one. Maybe it has something to do with who's leading the interview. I don't know.
