Episode 9: "Better Than Nothing" Is Not Good Enough

Slow Train to Heck

Join Taylor and I as she details her experiences as a Christian missionary and unpacks the ethical issues that are rampant in that arena. We dig into the inherent Western white Christian supremacist side of missions, the inherent attitude of colonization that's wrapped up in it, the manipulative and abusive side of it, and how when women raise red flags about what's going on, they simply are not believed.
