#19 Jo Luehmann: Reclaiming Christianity when you have religious trauma

The Signature Boss

This is a special one for me, because I felt like a proper fangirl recording this conversation. Jo Luehmann has played a big role in my deconstruction of faith and I am forever grateful to her for who she is and what she does.
Jo is a Colombian born and raised pastor with a Masters degree in ministry and theology. This woman knows her stuff. You just have to have one look at her IG or listen to her for 5 minutes and she will blow you away. Jo teaches about decolonizing + dismantling theology (and what the difference is) a lot - and it's something we cover in this episode as well. Apart from that we also speak about her own journey and the questions that kicked off her deconstruction, why deconstruction is not enough and where she has landed on today.

One thing that fascinates me is that she calls herself a Christian, even though she does not subscribe to the 'You are a sinner, Jesus died for you' message at all: you will find out how she defines that and what Christianity means to her.

We speak about her work with @dobetterchurch , a team that fights to hold churches accountable for the individual and collective abuse that gets covered up, about learning your own intuition when you have religious trauma and a lot more that's too good to miss.

As always, be kind and respectful online (and IRL) x
