  • Interview with Meghan Tschanz

    EDJ and Joy team up to give Meghan Tschanz a whirlwind of questions.

    Meghan Tschanz is the author of Women Rising and the host of the well-loved Faith and Feminism podcast. After growing up in the conservative evangelical church, she came to a reckoning with her upbringing while serving as a missionary working with exploited women. Since then she has been set on dismantling harmful systems within her faith and is currently pursuing her MDIV. She and her husband live with their little girl and two rescue dogs in Athens, Georgia.

  • EDJ, Joy, and God

    I have EDJ with me and we are having heart-to-heart conversations about our views of God being challenged. We welcome you to comment and join the conversation.


    EDJ / Eady Jay loves to write about spirituality, sexuality, family, health, and music. She has a degree in Christian Theology, 30ish years of legalistic celibacy under her belt, personal experience in weight loss of 65 pounds, and years of professional experience building a business as a piano teacher. She is also a loving daughter, sister, aunt, wife, and parent who cared for her terminally ill mother and is raising a child born with a cleft lip and palate.

    Over the years she has deconstructed the concept of hell leading her down the path of universalism. Then she deconstructed purity culture and many of the “isms” and became a queer-affirming, feminist. She is still on an Evangelical Deconstruction Journey (EDJ), reforming ethics rooted and established in the God who is love, grace, and truth personified.

    EDJ is this writer’s initials and an anacronym for Evangelical Deconstruction Journey. Eady Jay is a pseudonym derived from the initials EDJ.

  • EDJ: Correction from last Episode and Race Discussion

    Today, EDJ is back with us and will be sharing her reflections on the book that she is recently reading by Carol Anderson, White Rage.


    EDJ is a heart winner. With her Australian accent, you will likely be won over to her critical thinking perspective and likely will fall into the web of conversing with her in your head. You will love this episode!
