Episode 51 - "April Ajoy"
On this episode, we hear the story of April, a former staunch conservative Christian who started questioning her beliefs once tragedy occurred.

After going viral and attracting the attention of the likes of Ben Shapiro, Prager U and Greg Locke, April's mission is to show everyone what Evangelical Christianity looks like from the eyes of those who may never step foot in a Church building.

Customer Reviews
Good story
Sounds like the democrat party
So glad I found this podcast
I differ from most where I wasn’t someone who deconstructed, but I just got out of a 7 year relationship with a evangelical Christian. 7 years of trying to convert me. 7 years of fighting over morals. It really wore me down. I never tried to change him but Ive always looked for resources that were Christian but left leaning, or deconstructed, to help me traverse the landmines I’m conversations I would have with him bc “I was so uneducated about the Bible”. Well now that I’m out of it…this podcast has been sooooo cathartic. Makes me feel like I wasn’t crazy, wasn’t wrong, and actually…a lot of what is said are things that I have said to my ex before. So guess not that dumb either. Thanks for doing all that you do to make me feel sane again
Great start
Could use better sound quality and please stop saying “and stuff like that….” But I love the content !
