Summary

April Ajoy, social media content creator, podcast presenter and film project creator for Evangelicalish, sits down with Tim to discuss her own deconstruction story and how she began her parody skits on Tik Tok. April explains her background and what led her to deconstruct her faith. She and Tim discuss how the political climate of 2016 led them both to question the church's promotion of Trumpism. They both also discuss how social media has allowed them to find connection with other people who were also deconstructing. Lastly, April explains what's coming in the future for Evangelicalish.
