It’s time to reclaim your voice, your story, and your self-worth.
I am no longer a believer.
This is not a “spiritual rebrand” or a gentle detour away from church.
This is a full, unapologetic breakup.
Breaking Up With Jesus: Escaping the Chains of Christian Codependency is not about “church hurt.”
It’s about the deep, systemic conditioning that taught us to abandon ourselves in the name of a God who never showed up.
It’s about the spiritual gaslighting that kept us in toxic relationships, toxic churches, and toxic theology—
all while being told it was “God’s will.”
We were told our suffering made us holy.
That our silence was strength.
That the abuse we endured was part of “God’s plan.”
And for years, we blamed ourselves for the silence.
For not hearing God.
For not feeling chosen.
For not being enough.
But here’s the truth: We were never in a mutual relationship.
We were in a cycle of fear, guilt, and spiritual manipulation—
and we were praised for staying loyal to it.

Tai Goodwin is a writer and liberation coach who spent years trying to pray her pain away. After surviving spiritual gaslighting, obedience-fueled emotional abuse, and a lifetime of religious codependency, she chose herself—and never looked back.
Now an unapologetic atheist, Tai helps women unlearn toxic beliefs, rewrite their stories, and reclaim the power, pleasure, and peace that religion tried to bury.
Breaking Up With Jesus is her love letter to every woman who dared to ask, “What if God’s silence was the answer?”
