From husbands as masters to pimps as owners, women were made to be dominated. Meghan saw it firsthand in third-world countries through the practice of female genital mutilation. She saw it in missionary organizations that refused to let women lead. She saw it in her own story.

What we believe about gender roles affects every area of our lives and every corner of the Earth.

The answer to this widespread abuse? A place where faith and feminism meet.

In my interview with Meghan, we discuss:

• How everything from barring women from preaching to trafficking them for sex is based on the SAME DAMAGING BELIEFS
• The moment that broke her heart wide open and led to a dramatic change in her life, faith, and work
• Why there's NEVER a good time to speak up against injustice (so she just does it anyway)
• How/why a marriage with EQUAL partners works (though many churches will tell you they don't exist or shouldn't happen)
