(Season 3: Ep.1) Wrong Team (Interview w/ April Ajoy)

(Season 3: Ep.1) Wrong Team (Interview w/ April Ajoy)

What if we got it wrong? Not just small details. Not just interpretation. What if we were taught to believe we were on the right side the right team the ones who had truth, clarity, and certainty But somewhere along the way, we never stopped to ask who told us that? In this Season 3 premiere of Safe Space with Jaxon , Jaxon sits down with content creator, podcast host, and author April Ajoy to unpack their shared upbringing in Evangelical Christianity, their journeys through deconstruction, and the tension of re-examining everything they once held as absolute. April, known for her sharp and thoughtful humor, uses her platform to expose harmful, toxic, and sometimes just weird traits of American Evangelicalismwhile still holding onto a more honest and inclusive expression of faith. She is the author of Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith , available on Amazon, and co-host of the Tim & April Show on YouTube. Across platforms, shes built a strong and growing audience with over 13.8K YouTube subscribers, 207K Instagram followers, and over 406K on TikTok. From childhood faith to unraveling belief systems to questioning the literal interpretation of dreams and visions in the BibleAbraham, Moses, and Paulwe wrestle with a deeper question: What if the dream was wrong? Not meaningless but misinterpreted. And if thats the case what does it mean for everything built on top of it? This conversation isnt about tearing faith down. Its about asking better questions learning how to discern truth beyond tradition and ultimately confronting a question many are afraid to ask: What if weve been defending the wrong team this whole time?

(Season 1: Ep 4) When Awakening Becomes Embodiment

In this episode of Safe Space w/ Jaxon , I dive into a question that hit deep: At what point does awakening stop being about escape and start being about embodiment? This ones about love not the kind we preach, post, or perform but the kind we practice. The love that shows up when the feelings fade, when the mirror gets honest, when awareness has to move from your head into your hands. Pour something slow. Breathe deep.

(Season 2: Ep 4) When We Assume..

Assumptions are efficientbut theyre rarely honest. In this episode, When We Assume , Jaxon explores how unasked questions turn into false narratives, how silence gets misinterpreted as guilt, and how control often disguises itself as certainty. This is a reflection on one-sided relationships, forced forgiveness, emotional autonomy, and the quiet power of reclaiming your energy. Not every distance is betrayal. Not every ending needs hostility. And not every misunderstanding is worth correcting. This episode is for anyone learning the difference between peace and self-neglectand choosing themselves without apology.

Season 3 Ep 5 "Noahide Path" interview with Tassja Cadoch & Jaye Naomi

In this episode of Safe Space w/ Jaxon, we sit down with Tassja Cadoch and Jaye Naomi following their viral appearance on the Dr. Daf Show, which has reached over 200,000 views on YouTube. Rather than revisiting the debate, this conversation goes deeper. We explore what it was like for them sharing that platform together, how they navigated the dialogue in real time, and what they believe was misunderstood about the perspective they brought. Jaye also opens up about her personal journey into Judaismwhat led her to step away from Christianity, the questions she could no longer ignore, and the moment everything began to shift. We also break down the Noahide pathwhat it is, what it isnt, and how its often misunderstood.

(Season 1:Ep 5) Keep F*cking Talking

(Season 1:Ep 5) Keep F*cking Talking

This episode of Safe Space w/ Jaxon is a reminder to stay awake. While the nation is busy arguing over distractions and tribal politics, the real story is sitting in plain sight. The Epstein files didnt come out of nowhere and they dont disappear just because the media looks away. There are people in power who benefit when were divided. If were fighting each other, were not looking at them. So this episode is me saying: Keep f*cking talking. Keep questioning. Keep paying attention. Because silence is how corruption wins. Truth only survives when we refuse to shut up. Drop your thoughts especially the uncomfortable ones. I read every single one.

(Season 2: Ep 5) AA Meeting: Agnostics Anonymous

(Season 2: Ep 5) AA Meeting: Agnostics Anonymous

In this episode of Safe Space with Jaxon , Jaxon opens the floor for an unconventional kind of meetingone for those who dont claim certainty, but still choose to believe. AA Meeting: Agnostics Anonymous is a reflective space for people living in the tension between doubt and devotion. For believing agnosticsthose honest enough to say I dont know, yet observant enough to look at the world around them and sense that this all came from somewhere. Not through proof or dogma, but through awareness, pattern, and presence. This episode explores the idea that healthy religion can offer a framework to begin with a language, a structure, a starting pointbut that all frameworks are inherently limited. Discernment, not blind loyalty, is what allows us to grow beyond them. To hold belief with humility. To remain open to learning more. To recognize that reverence doesnt require certainty, and faith doesnt have to end where questions begin. Its a conversation about releasing fear-based faith without abandoning spirituality altogether. About choosing belief as a conscious posture rather than an inherited obligation. About living ethically, staying curious, and allowing wonder to coexist with doubt. No altar calls. No arguments. Just space for honesty, humility, and lived fruit.

Season 3 Ep 6 Van Life & Freedom From Propaganda (w/ Caitlin Pyle)

What happens when the life you were taught to trust starts to unravel? In this episode of Safe Space w/ Jaxon, I sit down with Caitlin Pyleknown to many as The Cait Awakeninga certified coach helping people navigate religious deconstruction and reclaim their identity beyond high-control belief systems. With a growing audience of over 214K on TikTok and 246K on Instagram, Caitlin has become a voice for those questioning everything they once held as absolute truth. We start with her transition into van lifewhat it meant to walk away from structure, certainty, and comfortand what freedom looks like on the other side. From there, we go deeper. We unpack the early foundations of Christianity, including the Council of Nicaea, and explore how doctrine was shaped through both spiritual conviction and political influence. We also wrestle with bigger questions: Why does Paul hold so much authority in modern Christianity? What does it mean to build theology from an experience we cant verify? And how much of what we believe today is rooted in truth versus tradition? This conversation isnt about tearing anything downits about creating space to question, to feel, and to rediscover whats real for yourself.

What if waking up isnt about becoming perfect but seeing clearly? In this spoken reflection, Jaxon Phoenix explores how awareness doesnt always make life easier it just makes it real. From his fascination with near-death experiences to his awakening from religious illusion, Jaxon invites listeners to slow down, zoom out, and reflect on what it truly means to evolve not into perfection, but into perspective.

(Season 2: Ep 6) When the Bowl Breaks Find the Source

What happens when the container you trusted cracks? In this episode, Jaxon reflects on childhood memories of soup, comfort, and safety and how, as adults, we often mistake the bowl for the source. When belief systems collapse, when institutions fracture, when certainty falls apart do we lose faith altogether? Or did we just lose the container that held it? This episode explores grief, systemic power, communal belonging, and the courage it takes to stop worshipping the bowl. Its not an attack on people. Its a call to maturity. If the bowl breaks will you starve? Or will you find the source? This is a broadcast after the collapse. If you can hear it respond.

(Season 2: Ep 7) When The Cameras Stop..

What happens when the instructions no longer seem to align? In this episode of Safe Space w/ Jaxon , we explore the tension between the manual and the Manufacturer between ancient writings and the Divine they point toward. Using a simple furniture-assembly analogy, we unpack what it means to follow instructions faithfully and what happens when something just doesnt fit. Have we elevated the manual over the source? Joining me for this conversation is Leslie Nease life coach, writer, and host of the Honoring the Journey Podcast , where she helps people navigate spiritual deconstruction and major life transitions with self-compassion and curiosity. Many first met Leslie as Sister Christian on Survivor: China (2007).

Together, we talk about: Deconstruction as responsible verification The strengths and limits of having a manual Learning to trust your inner voice again What it costs to question what you were taught And how to reconnect with the Source when the instructions feel misaligned If youve ever felt afraid to question this conversation is for you.

Religion tried to make me a category but God made me a human first. In this episode, I break down why I refuse to reduce my existence to a label built by institutions, expectations, and fear. This is a conversation about identity, liberation, and what happens when you finally step outside the box you were raised in. I talk about: why Christian became a performance instead of a path how religion can disconnect us from our own humanity letting go of spiritual policing learning to see God outside the system becoming a good human before becoming anything else If youre deconstructing, awakening, questioning, or rebuilding from scratch youre not crazy.

(Season 2: Ep 8) Jaxons Prayer How Many Billions

How many billions is enough? In this episode, Jaxon offers a raw and reflective prayer not from a place of religious performance, but from wrestling. Wrestling with greed. With power. With money. With systems that accumulate while others struggle to breathe. At what point does success become excess? At what point does blessing become hoarding? And what does it mean to pray in a world obsessed with more? This isnt a sermon. Its a confrontation. Its a prayer for perspective.

So many of the things we were taught to fear God never said any of it. In this episode, Im pulling apart the borrowed beliefs, the inherited doctrines, and the recycled threats that were handed to us in the name of truth. This is a conversation about unlearning the noise so you can finally hear the Source for yourself. No fear. No performance. No middlemen. Just you, your breath, your awareness and a God who was never the villain they made Him out to be. If you want it shorter, more poetic, or more confrontational, just say the word.

(Season 2: Ep 9) Small Talk Makes Me Cringe...

Hey, how are you? Good you? Weve all done the dance. In this episode, Jaxon reflects on why small talk can feel exhausting especially when it becomes a mask people wear instead of showing up authentically. Why do so many of our conversations stay on the surface? And what would the world look like if we felt free to express what were actually feeling without being rude, cynical, or emotionally reckless? Jaxon explores the tension between social politeness and emotional honesty , and invites listeners to imagine a culture where people can process their thoughts and emotions openly with respect, maturity, and compassion. Because maybe the goal isnt to eliminate small talk Maybe the goal is learning how to be human without hiding. Safe Space w/ Jaxon New episodes weekly on Spotify.

(Season 2: Ep 10) Christianitys Golden Calf: Worshipping the God of War

(Season 2: Ep 10) Christianitys Golden Calf: Worshipping the God of War

In this episode of Safe Space with Jaxon , Jaxon challenges listeners to wrestle with a difficult question: what happens when faith communities begin defending power, violence, and nationalism instead of the values they claim to stand for? Drawing from the biblical story of the Golden Calf, Jaxon explores the possibility that modern believers may be tempted to worship something other than truth, compassion, and justicereplacing the spirit of love with the defense of systems, ideologies, and political loyalties. This conversation invites listeners, especially those within American evangelical culture, to examine whether silence in the face of injustice is neutrality or complicity. Because if faith claims to stand for the protection of life, the question becomes unavoidable: Whoor whatare we really worshipping? Safe Space with Jaxon releases new episodes every Friday.

(Season 1:Ep. 11) Trapped Under Our Own Narratives

(Season 1:Ep. 11) Trapped Under Our Own Narratives

Technology keeps advancingfaster than most of us are comfortable with. Cars drive themselves, AI learns at an exponential rate, and instead of asking how to use these tools wisely, we often default to fear. But fear isnt really about technology. Its about agency. In this episode, Jaxon explores why the real human struggle has never been access to information, but the ability to interpret it correctly. From using AI as a thinking companion rather than a threat, to examining how humans misread each other in real timelet alone ancient texts translated, edited, and reinterpreted across centuriesthis conversation challenges the idea of certainty, especially religious certainty. Jaxon questions biblical inerrancy, not to provoke, but to expose the impossibility of a mistake-free, human-handled text. If humans are fallibleand history proves we arethen our confidence in perfect interpretations may be the real delusion. The episode closes with a haunting allegory: five construction workers trapped beneath rubble, conscious, waiting, listening, hoping. A story about innocence, randomness, interpretation, and the narratives we cling to when control is gone. This isnt an episode about rejecting faith, technology, or tradition. Its about learning how to think, not just what to believeand choosing stories that move us toward awareness instead of fear. Listen. Reflect. Then decide what youll do with what you know.

(Season 2: Ep. 11) God Bless My Frenemy

(Season 2: Ep. 11) God Bless My Frenemy

In this spontaneous bonus episode, Jaxon reflects on something many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openlywhat happens when friendships end. Sometimes the people who once meant the most to us slowly become strangers or even feel like enemies. But what if forgiveness isnt pretending nothing happened? What if its simply acknowledging that you cared deeplyand that the hurt you carried eventually turned into bitterness? In God Bless My Frenemy , Jaxon explores the uncomfortable truth that healing sometimes means letting go of the resentment weve been holding onto. Not to excuse what happened, and not to rekindle the relationshipbut to free ourselves. Because sometimes the most honest form of peace is this: Youre no longer my friend but youre no longer my enemy either. Just a human being who once mattered. Safe Space with Jaxon releases new episodes every Friday, exploring creativity, faith, philosophy, and the human experience.

(Season 1:Ep 12) Ancient Mistakes

(Season 1:Ep 12) Ancient Mistakes

Just because something is ancient doesnt mean its right. In this episode, Jaxon challenges the assumption that age equals truth. Ancient texts, traditions, and teachings didnt fall from the sky untouchedthey were written by people with motives, contexts, power structures, and blind spots. And if were willing to question modern systems, we have to be brave enough to evaluate ancient ones too. This conversation isnt about dismissing faith. Its about discernment. Its about learning to ask why something was written, who benefited from it, and how its being used today. Jaxon also turns the spotlight toward the presenthighlighting that there are pastors and leaders doing it right right now. People living the message through action, humility, and servicewithout building personality cults or demanding loyalty to a single man at the top. Maybe the future of faith isnt about defending old mistakes. Maybe its about amplifying present integrity. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

(Season 2: Ep. 12) The Illusion of Naming the Unnameable (w/ Keith Giles)

What if the moment we gave God a name we lost something? In this episode of Safe Space with Jaxon , Jaxon sits down with best-selling author, speaker, and Heretic Happy Hour co-host Keith Giles for a thought-provoking conversation on humanitys need to define the Divine. Keith Giles is the author of the seven-part Jesus Un series and the SOLA series, and has been featured on CNN with Anderson Cooper, Coast to Coast Radio, USA Today, BuzzFeed, and John Fugelsangs Tell Me Everything. His recent Quantum Gospel worksexploring texts like the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Maryhave become Amazon best-sellers, continuing to challenge how we understand faith, Jesus, and the nature of God. From ancient golden calves to modern religious language, this conversation explores how names, labels, and doctrines can quietly become the very idols we think weve left behind. Have we mistaken the name for the reality? Together, Jaxon and Keith unpack: Why humans feel the need to name and define God How theology and religious identity can become modern-day idols The deeper meaning behind the kingdom within What it looks like to move beyond labels and live out love At the center of this conversation is a simple but challenging idea: Maybe God was never meant to be namedonly experienced. And maybe love was never meant to belong to religion at all. This episode is for anyone questioning, deconstructing, or reimagining their understanding of faith, spirituality, and what it truly means to live out love without borders.

(Season 1: Ep. 13) Escaping the Silo

Before we kick off Season 2, here is a piece I created called "Escaping the Silo". This will be vision moving forward! We live in a world where our beliefs are handed to usnever questioned, never tested, just accepted. We inherit our reality like dirty goggles, clouding our vision, distorting the truth. But what happens when you take them off? When you stop blindly following and start asking the questions that were never meant to be asked? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

(Season 2:Ep 13) "Ripple Effect"- Live Audience

(Season 2:Ep 13) "Ripple Effect"- Live Audience

There are moments in life where something shifts not loudly, but deeply. Thats the ripple. In this live speaking engagement at Unity by the Bay, Jaxon explores the power of the ripple effect how a single shift in awareness can quietly transform not just your life, but the lives you touch. We dont always see the impact of our words, our presence, or our healing in real time. But every choice we make sends something outwardinto our relationships, our communities, and beyond. This isnt about having it all figured out. Its about becoming aware and choosing what kind of ripple you want to leave behind. So ask yourself: What are you putting into the water?
