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.

There is not much optimism in dealing with Christian Nationalism but it is heartwarming to see that people really can leave the indoctrination and hate- but not Jesus- behind. If April- who grew up literally on the bus of Christian nationalism- can reason her way out there is hope for everyone!

An optimistic take down of Christian Nationalism!

I loved how the author laid out the points. Very well researched and easy to follow.

Funny, Witty, and Real

For those of us recovering from our fundamentalist (now Christian Nationalist) brainwashing, this is a manifesto of sorts as we transition into our new ex-evangelical identities. I can’t speak for Jesus but I really think he would have written the forward.

A must-read for former Fundies

I didn't know much about the evangelical world, is relationship to Christain nationalism, and it's influence on national and international politics and policies. The author does an incredible job of explaining these interconnections.

Very enjoyable to listen to, conversational style with sources and explanations and stats. Realizing you are a Christian nationalist and then coming out of that is really hard! I’m so grateful Ajoy is sharing her story with all of us, I’ve learned so much.

So relatable

This is the best book I’ve read in a long time! April Ajoy is spot on in her critique of Christian nationalism and paints a page turner depiction

of how Christian nationalism has adversely affected individual and national lives!

Awesome Book!

Very informative to help understand certain kinds of people. Why would people ever vote for Trump? This book helped me understand what’s going on in their heads.

This last election cycle left me questioning my faith. I kind of renounced the Conservative definition of Christianity, but I still gad a feeling that I can’t just not believe in Jesus. Ms. Ajoy showed me you can be a believer and not be a complete A-hole about it. That there are still people who keep the Christ in Christianity. And I about died laughing during the Racial Reconciliation Night part.

Kinda helped me out

Great book

As a former evangelical, I can relate SO much to April's story. I loved her humor and facts, outline and vulnerability.

Relatable
