In my conversation with April Ajoy, we dive into the complex and often overlooked intersection of Christian faith, politics, and personal identity. Growing up in a Christian household, April’s faith was more than just a belief, it was her identity. As figures like Trump and Mike Johnson rose to prominence, she started to realize how her beliefs were being used to advance a political agenda. That’s when she started her journey toward healing and understanding. “I want a world without hate,” she says. “A world where we can question, learn, and grow together, without being bound by the pressures of harmful ideologies.”
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! And if you want to hear more from April, I highly recommend getting her book, Star Spangled Jesus. It’s a powerful, humorous, and at times heartbreaking narrative that sheds light on the real-world impact of Christian nationalism.
