In Episode 7, Anna and Mark discuss the Institute in Basic Life Principles.  Started by Bill Gothard, these Christian extremists are big on disciplined behavior, modesty for women, and private academies to educate the youth of their group.  Anna got introduced to this group via a viral Tik-Tok, and quickly found out they have some "famous" advocates in the media.  Mark is unsupportive of any group that does allow blue jeans or fun; but doesn't necessarily mind the banning of Christian Rock music.  Thanks for supporting us Cult Fam, keep drinking that kool-aid.
