    Dismantling patriarchy, supremacy culture, and reclaiming faith with Jo Luehmann

    Kristina brings Jo Luehmann on the show and asks her the red hot question - why are Christian men so triggered by her posts? They share some laughs and some very real conversation on the impact of patriarchy and supremacy culture in both evangelical and deconstruction spaces. They discuss what it was like for Jo to be an immigrant in US church spaces and how this correlates to her work now. What is Jo's hope for humanity? Heaven on earth. We hope you enjoy today's episode! Jo Luehmann is a Colombian born and raised pastor and writer 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, and finding in personal and systemic ways how harmful and abusive the evangelical church is, 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 spirituality as 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 6 weeks the space grew to over 5000 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.

    Humorously Detoxing Religion with April Ajoy

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 3, 2022 61:38


    Joking how she is a recovering conservative navigating her own faith deconstruction journey through a comedic lens, April starts off by addressing the age old question of “why do bad things happen to good people,” with her parallel story to Kristina's journey on parental loss and how people in the church have historically responded poorly to illness alongside black and white thinking. Bring a tissue, and then be prepared to laugh as they discuss how to handle the trolling that comes with saying things against the status quo, April's upbringing as a child of a famous Pastor, when she decided she was no longer a raving conservative, and being called names because she has red hair and doesn't like Trump. Chatting about dating and her marriage story alongside deconstruction, they joke about why dating is still the weirdest thing ever, and how to find Kristina a fellow funny man. A full circle of a convo, it's evident the world is grateful April's voice, as is Kristina for the new friendship. April is a film producer turned content creator who uses humor to shine light on the harmful, toxic and sometimes just weird traits of evangelicalism. She grew up a pastor's kid, singing in churches worldwide and on several Christian TV shows and eventually worked as a producer for CBN as an adult. She now identifies as a "recovering conservative" and is navigating through her own faith deconstruction journey through a comedic lens on TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.

Kristina and Ben have known each other a few years and met in LA when him and his wife visited Los Angeles to record his own podcast episodes. Just a normal guy pointing out the obvious, they talk about the mental struggles of commenting on the dynamics of how power and money have impacted modern evangelical church culture. Still a normal guy but now with a newborn son, Ben discusses how his life has changed after announcing his identity on the account, and how he's wrestled with the number of vocal opinions about his account. They mention the difficulty in navigating how to comment on things that propose discomfort, and the ways people assign motive if you do speak out. Moral of the story is even when it's hard, it's important to use your voice however you feel God has positioned you to do so.If you want to know about Ben's process and perspective, make sure to buy his recent book!PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebritieshttps://www.amazon.com/PreachersNSneakers-Authenticity-Profit-Wannabe-Celebrities/dp/0785238832/ref=monarch_sidesheet and be sure to checkout his youtube channel with commentaries, guests, and podcast episodes -Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXYGKqddTHijz1ANAAOWsLQBen Kirby is the creator of the viral social media sensation PreachersNSneakers, where he caused an uproar after showing the values of what clothing preachers were wearing on stage across the globe.

    For the last four years I have been a dainty online blogger and comedian, largely writing about my experiences and observations as a single and Persian woman in the world of evangelical Christianity. Almost everyday I posted a joke, and each time I did, I pushed out of my safe little box and allowed both my jokes and my faith to progress. I found my voice not only as a comedian, but also as an advocate for survivors, an advocate for people on their journey in mental health & addiction recovery, and a straight-shooter when it comes to confronting people or institutions abusing their power. It is finally my turn to hold the mic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/super-weird-pod/support
