Colaw Lecture Series welcomes April Ajoy

The Hyde Park Church Collective and HPCUMC's Colaw Lecture Series welcome April Ajoy November 15 at 4pm. April will share her story and reflections, answer questions from the audience, and sign copies of her book Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith. She is also a content creator and podcast host who uses humor to shine light on harmful, toxic, and sometimes just weird traits of American Evangelicalism. After growing up an evangelist’s kid entrenched in Christian Nationalism and working in conservative Christian media, she saw the harm caused firsthand. Still a Christian, she uses her platform to expose the dangers of Christian Nationalism while promoting a more inclusive faith. April has been featured in Shiny Happy People Season 2, Buzzfeed, CNN, Newsweek and more. She’s been married to Beecher for 11 years and they have two daughters together.
