“Christian Nationalism is harmful to both Christianity and the country.” April Ajoy 

Our episode this week is with April Ajoy, author of the new book, Star-Spangled Jesus, former Christian Nationalist, podcast host and deconstructing mom of two.

April has a fierce passion to recover from the wounds of toxic Christianity and how it plays out in the political arena and to help others do the same. If you feel like you would like to understand more about exactly what Christian Nationalism is and learn more about the hope we still have in this volatile time in our history, this podcast episode is for you.

Some of the topics we explore are these:

• How Christian Nationalism began and why it's so dangerous.
• Why it's important to disentangle faith from politics.
• Advice for those of us who feel conflicted, but are afraid of the personal and social consequences of questioning our beliefs.
• How we prevent becoming what we’ve walked away from.
• Parenting through curious faith and the current political climate.

Our favorite words from this podcast episode were things like demons, witchcraft, big tent, pressure off, loosely, empathy, Christian Nationalism, and liberate. Find out why when you listen.
