life beyond
We created the space we needed when we began deconstructing our faith.
For most of our lives, our faith shaped who we were and how we saw the world. But once we had children, we started to look at things differently.
The messages we’d been taught about love, obedience, and worth didn’t align with the kind of freedom and compassion we wanted to model for our kids. That tension became the spark that led us to start asking deeper questions.
What began as quiet curiosity soon became a full unraveling of everything we thought we knew. The process was disorienting and painful — we lost community, battled guilt, and grieved a faith that had once defined us. Yet beneath the grief was something new taking shape: honesty, freedom, and the courage to trust our own voices.
In that season, we searched for spaces where others were wrestling with the same questions — but they were hard to find. So, we created what we needed.
Life Beyond was born out of our desire for a safe, inclusive space for anyone deconstructing their faith or leaving religion altogether. Here, you’ll find validation for your pain, encouragement for your healing, and community for your journey forward. Whether you’re just beginning to question or fully living beyond belief, you belong here.
We believe your story doesn’t end when your faith does. We believe it begins again, and this time, it’s on your own terms.
