Beyond Fundamentalism: Redefinging Faith, Politics and Identity with David Peck

I Just Have to Say with Laura Max

This week, I sit down with designer and entrepreneur David Peck, whose story has roots in churches associated with the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) — yes, the same fundamentalist Christian organization made famous by the Duggar family. Known for its rigid beliefs around patriarchy, authority, and gender roles, IBLP shaped a very particular worldview for those who grew up in its teachings. David and I dive deep into our personal journeys, moving beyond the beliefs we were raised with and reflecting on the eye-opening experiences highlighted in Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. We’ll explore how our political and personal views have shifted and how our evolving perspectives on faith, society, and politics have informed the lives we lead today. Whether you've seen the documentary or are simply curious about how early beliefs can change over time, you’re in for a thought-provoking conversation.
