DESIGN FLAW. On this episode we're talking about the first of Bill Gothard's seven principles of the IBLP, as featured in the documentary Shiny Happy People season 1. In Mr. Gothard's Principle of Design I don't even exist as a q***r woman. And, yet, here I am. I exist. I resist. I persist. Join me, and please contact us and share your magical truth of who you are with the casserole congregation. 🔮🎙️🦄

✨We Don’t Fit in Boxes—and That’s the Point

You won’t be asked to conform here.

We honor neurodivergent brilliance, q***r theology, cultural rootedness, and wild spirituality. Our approach is both structured and emergent, offering the scaffolding you need to grow while honoring the sacred mystery that cannot be named.

We’re training chaplains for this century—not the last. Join a community that sees your full self as holy.

Applications for the September 2025 cohort are open now.

This is the introduction episode to a series arc on the 7 principles of Bill Gothard. 🔮🎙️🥘 Grace Rogers Downer

Focus on what you want and speak it to the people you are asking- or even demanding- it from.

Stooping to their level is:

Living in fear and anxiety
Trying to control
Insulting and demeaning
Raging
Sabotaging your support system

Focusing on what you want is:

We demand human rights for children without documents who need their parents ☑️

We want to purchase our goods from humane businesses people ☑️

Organizing ☑️

FOCUS ON THE GOAL, NOT THE INTERFERENCE, RELENTLESSLY.
