Breaking Up With Jesus is a raw and unflinching memoir about what it truly means to leave the faith that once shaped your entire world. Jared Bridge traces the psychological cost of certainty, the quiet unraveling of belief, and the intimate work of rebuilding a self no longer defined by fear, purity culture, or spiritual surveillance. Part personal narrative, part cultural critique, this book exposes the emotional architecture of evangelical life while offering a deeply human story of doubt, courage, and reinvention.
With clarity, humor, and hard‑won compassion, Bridge explores the transformation that happens when devotion gives way to honesty - and when inherited faith gives way to a grounded, self‑authored life. Breaking Up With Jesus is for anyone who has ever questioned the script they were handed, felt trapped inside a belief system they didn't choose, or longed for a life rooted in freedom, integrity, and human connection.
