Meghan Tschanz was a good Christian girl her whole life: She went to church, she stayed “pure,” she submitted to male authority, and she dedicated many years of her life to serving God by becoming a missionary. But now, her commitment to God compels her to dismantle so much of what she once promoted. She talks with us about how her experiences halfway across the world helped her see that her complementarian theology was directly complicit in the systematic subjugation of women for men’s pleasure and why we’ll never fix the sex trafficking problem if we only treat the symptoms, not the cause.

CW: Sex trafficking, rape, oppression, female genital mutilation, patriarchy, sexual abuse, sexual assault
