Episode 31 | Let's Talk About: Deconstructing White Evangelical Christianity w/ Meghan Tschanz
In this episode, the Woman Beings sit down with Meghan Tschanz, creator and host of the Faith and Feminism podcast and author of "Women Rising," her soon-to-be-released book! Meghan shares her story of serving on the missions field and how it led her to discover the inherent misogyny and patriarchal systems that are oppressing women throughout the world... and how the church plays a big role. Female genital mutilation, human trafficking, sexual assault, all are symptoms of the greater patriarchal systems that are designed to keep men in power and exhort women to be submissive, silent, and unseen. She shares her journey of deconstructing her white evangelical upbringing and white saviorism, learning to understand the concept of the people's church and the ruler's church, and how so much of the sexual assault and violence against women in our society today can be tied back to purity culture. This episode is chock full of wisdom - be sure to give it a listen!
