Since 19 Kids And Counting, as well as Counting On, began airing, Duggar News followers knew that the infamous family are followers of Bill Gothard’s Institute in Basic Life Principles or IBLP. The family has followed a strict moral code and conservative religious religious teachings under it. But many siblings have recognized the toxicity behind it and tried to get out of their shells.

Well, Joy-Anna Duggar is one of them. After reading her sister Jill and Jinger’s books talking about their changing faith, she also felt inspired to do so. It’s evident through her social media that Joy-Anna has been changing her ways. In a new post, she did something rather unexpected. Everyone saw her leave her household duties to have some fun with her gal pals!

Duggar News: Joy-Anna Went Into An Existential Crisis After Reading Jinger’s Book!

Jill and Jinger Duggar have been the rare Duggar News siblings who voiced their difficult childhood as the family followed strict IBLP teachings. Since then, Joy-Anna also made statements about the matter. After reading Jinger’s book, she explained how she thought, “What even is real.” But she also began her journey to realign her faith.

But now, Jinger is taking as much time as she wants and has sought help from outside counseling to come to terms with her understanding of religion and faith. Since then, even viewers have seen her come out of her shell more and more. In fact, a new post on her social media really shocked them. That’s because they believe she is now getting over some toxic IBLP teachings.

Long-term Duggar News followers know that IBLP promotes a conservative, patriarchal interpretation of Christian family roles. It has always emphasized traditional gender roles for women. It teaches that women’s duties and roles are primarily centered on submission, modesty, and service within the context of the home and family.

But it looks like Joy-Anna has come to terms with the toxicity behind these teachings. In a new Instagram post, she talked about her trip to Colorado with her girlfriends to experience some winter snow. Her Reel included her enjoying scenic views and munching on yummy snacks. Viewers had mostly seen Joy-Anna look after her home and kids on her social media.
