Jo Luehmann (she/they) is a Colombian born and raised writer, documentary producer, and podcaster who moved to the US to get her masters degree in ministry and theology. After 10 years working inside of churches as an ordained pastor; and finding in personal and systemic ways how harmful and abusive the evangelical church is, Jo quit her job and alongside her partner started the Living Room, a non-profit reclaiming faith and spirituality as expressions that can lead us toward wholeness, healing and liberation. 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.

In 2021 Jo joined a talented team of organizers, artists and developers at Home Studios for the purpose of creating documentaries telling stories from people in the margins of society so that we all can be inspired to create a better world. Their first feature film is set to be released early 2023.

In her podcast, The Living Room with Jo Luehmann, and through her classes, workshops and writing; Jo speaks and teaches about decolonizing faith and theology for the purpose of liberation, as well as the importance of dismantling white supremacy, patriarchy and capitalism both individually and collectively.
