Description
This week’s guest is author Jo Lloyd Johnson. Jo grew up in a “non-denominational charismatic commune”. She spent her adolescence in various churches, but they weren’t as “Spirit-filled” as she...
show moreShe married young and the first years of marriage were difficult. There was alcohol abuse, church shopping, and the difficulties that come with having young children.
She and her husband needed the church to be a place of deep and meaningful relationships, but it wasn’t.
“When we started seeing church as a social club [with no depth], we were like, ‘No. This is not what we thought it was…’”
By 2018, Jo realized the Church was steeped in Patriarchy. She had been fine with “a woman’s place” until she wasn’t.
Now Jo has used writing as a way to process the trauma and emotions she’s experienced and her book, Silenced in Eden, is helping others along their own journeys.
