Speaking
Conversations I’m glad to have
I speak with conferences, universities, cultural institutions, faith communities, podcasts, and leadership teams about power, belief, authority, systems, and what becomes possible when we learn to see differently.
Topics
What we can talk about
- Predatory God
- The relationship with authority and power that teaches people to experience domination, self-erasure, and punishment as love.
- Obedience Isn’t Goodness
- How power forms people: what belief, authority, and institutional life teach us to tolerate, and what they keep us from seeing.
- The Futures Our Systems Produce
- Why people rarely create the futures they intend, and how systems produce the ones they get.
- What Are We Capable of Seeing?
- How leaders can see what their organizations make difficult to see, and make better-informed decisions.
- The Worlds We Inherit
- What people and institutions might build differently after being shaped by the systems they inherited.

“The first time I heard Jo Luehmann speak, I was moved and inspired by her combination of courage, imagination, and passion. In her writings as in her speaking, she challenges the comfortable assumptions of what passes for christianity in our time. Hers is a welcome, important, and necessary voice.”
