John invites Pascal Chansy, a former missionary with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) to discuss her escape from the movement. Pascal shares insights into her background, growing up in a multicultural setting in Mali, and later transitioning to involvement in YWAM, highlighting the influence of both her family and Christian networks. She reflects on her time with YWAM, sharing both positive and critical views on its mission work and doctrinal impact. Pascal emphasizes how teachings in YWAM, tied to movements such as the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), shaped her approach to Christian missions and worldview, particularly in relation to the concept of Dominionism.

As the conversation continues, Pascal touches on the challenges he faced after joining YWAM, including the physical and emotional toll of missionary work. She explains how her education at prestigious boarding schools didn't shield him from the lure of mission work, and how her involvement in YWAM eventually led to disillusionment. The interview delves into YWAM's global network, its decentralized structure, and the lasting influence of its founder, Loren Cunningham. Pascal and John also explore YWAM’s connection to broader Christian networks and movements like IHOP (International House of Prayer) and Bethel Church, discussing how these ties fostered the growth of modern charismatic movements.
