When Authors Go Wrong || What Happened to Bill Gothard?
Bill Gothard was a notable Christian minister, speaker, and writer who began developing a Bible-based teaching program in the early 1970’s.
He took his platform right around the same time that American culture was experiencing a major shift in freedom and expression with adolescents and youth.
Though Bill never married or had children, he founded a homeschooling curriculum that became popular with many families, called the “Institute in Basic Life Principles.”
This curriculum centered heavily around character building skills for children and on living a godly lifestyle.
Bill’s curriculum and teachings seemed Biblically sound and, honestly, pretty great!
So what happened?
How did it all start to go so wrong?
Join me in this video as I discuss the life, work, and downfall of Bill Gothard and what important lessons we can learn from it all so we can avoid making the same mistakes.
What are your thoughts about this situation and how have you responded? Let me know in the comments below!

When You're Tired of Facing Obstacle After Obstacle
Thank you, Nika, so good. I am greatly blessed and encouraged by your words : )
He’s not suffering, at least in his fiance’s.the reason so many people came to that church is because James Roberson helped him get his teachings out there on TV. 📺 and people think that if you’re on TV. That means you are a good place to be and so they go look and when it’s still new, then there’s many positions to be filled and then there you have it!!And then there’s many types of personalities going on and when it gets so big the Pastor has to turn some things over to others and it’s a big thing that will explode at some point.. just saying I have 50 yrs. Watching these things that end up WRONG AND WE SEE THE $$ and it’s just wrong. They have millions of dollars & live like CELEBRITIES AND THERE ARE PEOPLE HURTING, starving right under their noses 👃 now tell me God is pleased with that..🤔🙆♀️😔
I ment gloting he should of went to jail .
Sorry most people aren't global but sad for you and many others Morris is always been a false teacher prosperity gospell and hyperchasmatic christans and false. Teaching he never should have been allowed after to be preaching and should of went to church God is reveling the wolf's he said if you don't give you are cursed wake up it's not all about books get back to your true Bible 😢
Throw out all teachings from Morris... He's a sick, twisted, and unrepentant predator, and all his teachings will be tainted one way or the other.
What about this? I respect and stand with thjs man. What more do people expect him to do? Didnt he quite the sin decades ago? I think Jesus forgave him decades ago. Prove me wrong with scripture. th-cam.com/video/l14PCQI6Xw4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vRZMOLPwg4O8aUQ
You’re welcome to prove yourself right with Scripture.
Present ongoing sin is one thing but decades ago? I don't think so. I respect and stand with thjs man. He is authentic. th-cam.com/video/l14PCQI6Xw4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vRZMOLPwg4O8aUQ
Excellent talk, thank you
I am sorry. It seems that you were too close to the man. Robert Morris did not have an effective ministry. He was a false teacher. You can not be a false teacher and effective in the same breath.
Nothing HAPPENED to him! Obviously he has always been sick!!!! 🤢
Our Pastor plans to lead a Bible study this fall on one of Robert Morris' books "The God I never knew". In light of Mr Morris' moral failings do you think this is a good idea? I would like to hear your opinion. Thanks
Robert Morris was a prosperity gospel teacher. Basically that god is Santa Claus who wants nothing more than to bless you with riches and wealth and health. God does not exist to give you everything you want and desire. Not to mention that God says that if a prophet is proven to be false, you do not need to follow that teacher. I don't listen to any pastor who proves themselves to be liars or false teachers. I stopped attending Marshill Church and listening to Mark Driscoll when he proved himself to be a liar and thief.
Be sure to compare what you study in RM book with the actual Word of God in the correct context. RM has problematic teachings and I would rather try watch some of the criticism of his teachings, which may offend you, but rather let that offend you, than go down a wrong path. You should rather do a Bible study on the books in the scripture.
I respect and stand with thjs man. He is authentic. th-cam.com/video/l14PCQI6Xw4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3vRZMOLPwg4O8aUQ
I think it is dead wrong to dig up peoples past sins after they have repented, stopped, and been forgiven. So pathetic.
Is there a video clip of him calling God Santa Claus? Just curious if you are actually quoting.
let he who is without sin t0ss the first stone
@@nanasimms please remind me what Jesus said about the millstone.....
Judge not and you won’t be judged. I feel bad for Robert and I believe God isn’t done with him yet. Yeah he had a horrible past but so did King David, and so did Paul, yet they were forgiven. I feel bad for the victim and I hope she can forgive him one day because I know Jesus has.
Go back and reread what apostole Paul said; most people do not understand judgement. Paul explains that we believers are to hold accountable/judge the actions of those inside the church. Believers are to " purge the evil person from among you". God will judge non-believers . Cor 5:12-13. 1Cor 5:11 An adult married and with a child who molests a 12 year girl in her own home has committed a crime .
The difference between King David and Robert, King David was truly remorseful. Robert was only remorseful when he got caught. He did everything in his power to keep her story from coming out, including offering to pay her to keep her silent. He lied about her age. He lied and said that her father had blessed his ministry when he came back. Robert Morris never truly repented.
Morris is gonna be in jail before this is over.. God willing!
Thank you for touching on this. My book includes this church’s impact on my life during my journey of the memoir I’m writing. I wasn’t sure where and if it still belonged in my book. You gave me more to think about.
Yes! You don’t have to be afraid to share a positive impact that Gateway had in your life! No one can take away what God has done in you!
Your content episode is great
How does this logic apply to the apostle Paul?
Tell me more of what you are asking.
@@NikaMaples1 I am trying to think through my jumbled thoughts and questions about this whole mess. First of all it's not my circus or my monkeys and I'm not looking to delve deeply into the story. What I will do is attempt to write (you should like that) down my thinking and questions and get back to you :) Stay tuned! :)
How come the son is paying the price of the Father's sin. Is this according to the BIBLE?
@@NikaMaples19
@@joanhoffmann7478It’s a natural consequence. Wrong is wrong. He hurt his child and has continued to gaslight everyone. It is biblical to judge people by their fruit. Pointing out sin is not gloating. The prosperity gospel is not biblical, anyway.
Great information!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the reminders and encouragement. The Lord uses you to keep me moving forward:)
I'm so glad!
Kudos for speaking out with clarity and gracious warnings. What a relevant and timely message for our times. The 'notice and note' advice is a direct affirmation of a word the Lord spoke to me in prayer just this week! And above all - "No one is as cute as you!" I thought that when you were 14, and I think it still. xo
Thank you, thank you! 🥰🥰🥰
It has been so helpful to me!!!!!🎉
I'm so glad!
I am speaking, with individuals, sharing the greatness of Hod through my testimony…the boldness to write is rising. I am so blessed by you & AW!!! Author development IS massive, like you’ve said 🦋
Great word!! Isn't the Lord good to us and thankful for discernment. Your three tips are GREAT guardrails. Sidenote: I watched that docuseries and was so sad for her, her family and the people she had influence with.
I know. It was really sad!!
Good word. Thank you❤
Love this❤🙏🏾‼
YES!!!
This is awesome! Thank you for boldly sharing! God bless! 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Video content is really amazing 🎉
Excellent content
Awesome episode
Hi Nika, very good conversation today. Luckily I learn a lot from your channel. Look, guys, I want to share with you about a new book that was released, THE MERCENARY RESCUE DOG, by D. Makienzy. I loved the story. It is a book for children, teenagers and young people. So, for those of you who like to write, I believe you will be inspired by this beautiful adventure and fiction story. The book is now available on Amazon, in two formats, ebook and paperback. And please review the book. Don't forget to share! Happy reading everyone!
Christ was never concerned about 'feelings'. He only spoke truth.
I’m so curious about your comment. Do you care to share more? I’d genuinely love to know your perspective on Jesus not caring about feelings.
Sorry, I meant to say not being “concerned” about feelings.
Excellent! I have found this to be so true! I love your exacting tips, Nika!
So glad!
I loved this - thank you for your blessing🥰
You are so welcome!
I trust you
Nikki this is the most powerful speech l have ever heard. You are a force bringing us closer to God. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much. 🙏🏻
I just love landing on reality! Scrolling will definitely drain us more when operating on burnout. You're videos are always great reminders of reality! Thank you!
Thank you for watching. I read every comment, and it means a lot that you watch!
Happy to have heard you at the Offer Mastery Live. I didn’t get to say hello. But hopefully next time. You are an inspiration. Thank you to your mother for being a woman of Faith and speaking into your future, and blessing us through it. ❤
I’m thankful for her too! Wish we’d gotten to meet at OML!
Praise the Lord! This is so encouraging and empowering; totally debunks the idea that you have nothing different to give. It's about the how, your perspective, and not the what, everyone's similar experiences. Thank you Nika, the Lord is using you to help me with my writing. Jesus is pushing me forward as His word comes to me in His perfect timing. Glory to the name of Jesus!!
I’m so glad! Keep going!
Thank you for this clarity!
You're so welcome!

I like that all of them starts with "D", tho it thaught me nothing
There is only one h in “taught.” There. I taught you something.
