Woman Explains Why She and Her Husband Left Christianity
A woman who was raised in the church and was a Christian for many years has revealed on TikTok that she no longer identifies as a Christian. According to her, she and her husband have left the Christian faith and now consider themselves agnostics. She detailed the events that shook their belief in Christianity, noting that it was in 2024 that they finally walked away from the religion.
The woman admitted that it was not easy for her and her husband, who served as a full-time youth pastor, to abandon Christianity. However, they were able to completely leave the faith around 2024.
Why and How the Woman Left Christianity
In a video posted on TikTok, the woman recounted how it all began in 2015. At that time, she and her husband had been trusting God for a child for about five years. She explained that they received a prophecy that they would hold their baby within a year, and they embraced it, putting their faith into action.
However, to their disappointment, she experienced miscarriages and lost the pregnancies she had during that period. This led her into depression and made her question her faith, laying the foundation for their deconstruction from Christianity.
Part of her story reads: "It was not easy for me to make the decision to walk away from Christianity and faith. But I'll take you back to the beginning of when everything kind of started. So in 2015, my husband and I had been trying for a baby for probably about five years at this point. And we received a prophecy from a prophet that was telling us that we would hold a baby within a year's time. So I went into faith action mode because faith without works is dead is what I was taught. So I began doing everything that I could to try to get pregnant, as well as believing God and praying scriptures and fasting and reading the word and just going all the way in."
She continued: "And we ended up getting pregnant our first time in 2015. I carried to 12 weeks, and then we lost our son. Then I got pregnant again, and I carried to 19 weeks with our daughter, and I had a preterm labor miscarriage with her. And then I got pregnant again after that, and I had that baby for probably about four or five weeks. All of this happened within the span of about 14 months. Now, that's crazy. But our mindset in that time period was, we're believing God. There's no way this is the end of the promise. There's no way that this is how the prophecy is. There's no way that we will hold a baby in a year. Would be our baby's remains after they passed on. Right? So we were just believing God, pushing through, and having faith."
The woman's story was shared on their TikTok page, @stevevonandbritt, and it triggered mixed reactions.
