Description

April Ajoy (she/her) is a content creator and podcast host who uses humor to shine light on harmful, toxic, and sometimes just weird traits of American Evangelicalism. After growing up an evangelist’s kid entrenched in Christian Nationalism and working in conservative Christian media, she saw the harm caused firsthand. Still a Christian, she uses her platform to expose the dangers of Christian Nationalism while promoting a more inclusive faith. She’s been married to Beecher for 10 years and they have two daughters together.

In this episode we talk about:

• April’s book Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith (which you can pre-order here!)
• America Say Jesus Tour
• Her father’s death and her brother coming out as gay sparked her shifting beliefs and deconstruction 
• Being Christian and voting Democrat (and how voting Republican doesn’t actually save babies…)
• If you’re coming out of Christian Nationalism, look back at the words of Jesus
