Jo Luehmann is a Colombian born and raised pastor who moved to the US to get her  masters degree in ministry and theology. After 10 years working inside  of churches, developing curriculum and teaching classes on theology and  doctrine, Jo quit her job and committed to  finding a faith that wasn’t abusive. Alongside her partner she started  the Living Room (LivingRoomSD.com) a non-profit reclaiming faith and  Christianity as spiritual expressions that can lead us toward wholeness,  healing and heaven on earth. In the summer of 2020 alongside a group of  victims and survivors of church abuse, Jo  started @DoBetterChurch an online space where people abused in churches  can be seen, heard, believed and connected to others who can offer tools  in their journey toward healing, as well as an initiative to invite  churches to do better. In less than 8 weeks the space grew to over 7000  people with over a thousand different reports of abuse submitted. Jo speaks and teaches about decolonizing faith and theology, as well as  the importance of dismantling white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism  both individually and collectively. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blackwhiteincolor/message
