About this listen

In this hilarious memoir, a social media star and podcast host shares about her time deeply entrenched in Christian Nationalism and how she left it behind to better follow Jesus.

Social media influencer and podcast host April Ajoy wouldn’t have called herself a Christian Nationalist when she performed her original song “America Say Jesus” on the Jim Bakker show, or when she participated in Jesus Marches across America, or when she posted cringe-worthy videos on YouTube to campaign for Mitt Romney. April just considered herself a good Christian: faithful, Republican, and determined to make America a Christian nation once again.

But as her view of the world widened, Ajoy began to see cracks in her steadfast beliefs and recognized the ways her conservative politics and religion were intertwined in her mind. Did God really bless America? Is it actually by His red, white, and blue stripes that we are healed?

Part memoir, part guidebook, part call to action, Star-Spangled Jesus explores how the fight to make America a “Christian nation” has damaged us all and shows how one woman left Christian Nationalism and why America should too.

Honest & Eye-opening

As an ex-Catholic, this book helped articulate for me a lot of the discomfort and cognitive dissonance I felt as a child growing up in the church. And as a Canadian, it helped me better understand my neighbours to the south and many of the political perspectives I’ve struggled to make sense of. April is witty and honest, but more than anything, I was struck by the generosity and compassion she offers Christian Nationalists. She repeatedly looks to highlight the “good” (albeit misguided) intentions of her former religious community while unequivocally and loudly calling out its dangers.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
