Who is Jinger Duggar?

Jinger Duggar is the 29-year-old daughter of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar. Controversy is nothing new to Jinger Duggar who subscribed to rigid religious ideas that dictated every part of her life as a member of the Institute of Basic Life Principles (IBLP), a fundamentalist Christian group that is frequently called "a cult" in media reports. She recently opened up in an interview about her experiences growing up in that "cult-like" atmosphere.

Jinger highlighted the harsh constraints and ongoing surveillance she experienced while living in the IBLP. "We weren't allowed to dance or listen to music with a backbeat," she claimed. "We had to dress quite modestly and weren't permitted to go to the cinema," as per People. She also discussed the pressure to adhere to the rigid gender norms imposed by the IBLP, which allowed little possibility for individuality or creative expression.

Despite the difficulties she had, Jinger believes that her experience in the IBLP helped her establish a solid foundation for her faith. "It was a very sheltered environment, but I'm grateful for it because it helped me to know what I believe," she said. She also stated that quitting the IBLP and pursuing her own interests was a challenging but essential step on her path to self-discovery.

Jinger's struggles with faith

'Becoming Free: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear' written by Jinger Duggar, is a stirring memoir that details her struggle to escape the rigidly religious upbringing and cult-like atmosphere in which she was nurtured. Jinger has written about the terror and anxiety she went through as a child while living in a strict religious family and being watched over by her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

Jinger reveals her challenges with separating her faith from fear throughout the entire book as she wrestles with the inconsistencies and restrictions of the IBLP's teachings. She also talks about how her family's prominence in the reality TV series '19 Kids and Counting' affected her upbringing and the difficulties she encountered while attempting to establish her own identity in the public glare.

But Jinger's narrative is ultimately one of hope and resiliency. She talks of the happiness and freedom she experienced after escaping the constraints of her past, as well as the calm that comes with leading a life of her own choosing. With personal experiences and insights on Jinger's path toward liberation and self-discovery, 'Becoming Free' is a potent and inspirational memoir.
