In this powerful episode, we chat with Meghan Tschanz, a force to be reckoned with—author of "Women Rising”, host of the “Faith and Feminism” podcast and a passionate advocate for dismantling patriarchy within Christianity. Currently residing in Athens, Georgia, Meghan shares her inspiring journey self-discovery, faith, and embracing her sexuality.
Meghan's childhood was a tapestry of contrasting influences, marked by the clash of her parents' beliefs and societal expectations. With incredible resilience, she recounts navigating the stifling norms of her faith community and overcoming a traumatic assault during her formative years. These trials, which initially left her feeling small, propelled her toward a path of self-discovery which enabled her to proudly identify as a Christian feminist.

Through her candid and raw storytelling, she inspires us to challenge the patriarchal structures ingrained in our beliefs, encouraging all to rise, reclaim their autonomy, and champion gender equality, regardless of your faith background.
