In this in-depth conversation, April Ajoy shares her unique journey from being raised in a Pentecostal household with a strong belief in Christian nationalism, through personal and family experiences leading to her deconstruction of faith, to confronting issues of gender identity within her marriage. April discusses the impact of her upbringing on her views, the transformative effects of encountering diverse perspectives, and the challenges she faces from the evangelical community due to her progressive stances. The discussion also touches upon the intersections of faith, politics, and identity, April's upcoming book on Christian nationalism, and the importance of humor and joy in addressing serious topics. Additionally, April offers insights into navigating marriage with a non-binary spouse, the implications of purity culture, and her advocacy for LGBTQ+ acceptance within religious contexts.
