Inside the Controversial World of Christian Influencers and the Duggar Family.

Hobby Lobby, a well-known arts and crafts retail chain in the United States, has gained attention in recent years not only for its extensive product selection but also for its significant financial support of the Christian right movement. The company has actively channeled its resources to advance the agenda of conservative Christian causes, including funding the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) and its founder, Bill Gothard. Hobby Lobby has also supported various conservative causes, religious organizations, and politicians who align with their values. The company's involvement in politics includes setting a precedent with the Supreme Court's 2014 decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, which established that private businesses could not be required to pay for health insurance that covers contraceptives under the Affordable Care Act. Despite controversies surrounding the company, Hobby Lobby and its founders continue to be strong voices for far-right politics and social issues.
