You will know them by their fruit…

I will keep this short, I don't wanna rant whilst I am pissed off. I am slowly coming out to those around me, as they begin to ask why I no longer lead or preach at church. It's a strange feeling, I mean I don't think I ever asked people 'how is your faith' or … Continue reading You will know them by their fruit… →

Doubting the doubt…

Things have been fairly tough for me recently. I mean, I am writing this on my 31st birthday, at the end of my tether with my children and feeling down about the fact that I have to go to work tomorrow to a job that I am really not enjoying right now. I know these … Continue reading Doubting the doubt… →

Our children are our future

Listening to the stories it holds being read to me by my Dad before bed, it really has had a massive impact on my life. Even now, with two young boys myself, I find them often pulling books from our shelves that are religious in their material. Maybe it's a parable with pictures that someone … Continue reading Our children are our future →

Book Review: The Magic of Reality

I really flipping enjoyed this book. It feels like it is written for older children or young adults and I am not gonna lie, I think that's a really good thing. Mr Dawkins looks at a wide range of subjects, to name a few; light, evolution, earthquakes and miracles. For each section, he addresses the … Continue reading Book Review: The Magic of Reality →

Peace…

I have been told my whole life that believing in God brings peace. I don't know about you, but life can be fairly full-on at times and finding a little spot of peace sounds like a really good thing! When you believe you are protected, fully understood, divinely appointed to be alive and on the … Continue reading Peace… →

The Anchor

What holds you to your belief system? I think a lot about anchors in every area of my life. For example, what anchors me to my job? For me, the following four things are the biggest providers of job satisfaction: Enjoyment, Progression, Learning & Finance. If you take away one of these four anchors, I … Continue reading The Anchor →

Mourning God

When I realised I was mourning God - I was shocked. You morn something when it has gone, when it has taken flight and you realise that things are no longer the same, that things will never again be the same. When I think about mourning, I quickly realise that I have mourned SO many … Continue reading Mourning God →

We glance back

You should probably know who I am, at least the religious threads of my story. I hope it casts a useful light on what I post on this blog. It kind of seems ironic to me that I am going to do this, as I am not sure I know ‘who I am’ most of … Continue reading We glance back →

It’s hard being honest

I write this with the full realisation that this journey changes everything. Honesty scares people, they fear that they don’t know you. Doubt confuses people, as they worry about where you are going to land at the end of the journey. But I don’t know if this will ever land… I wake at nights. Honestly. … Continue reading It’s hard being honest →

To Start

These are just honest musings. But musings happen to have a habit of infecting a mind. Do I believe in God because I have been told about God? Do I question God because I am in a society which allows me the freedom to question God? Had I grown up in some isolated bubble, my … Continue reading To Start →

Welcome

Thanks for checking out When Belief Dies!

My goal is to honestly share my story in a way that makes people think about why they believe what they believe.
