COURSE

Finding God After Religion

Finding God After Religion is a five-day journey for those who have left the church — or are in the process of leaving — and are seeking a gentler, more authentic connection with the Divine. Through personal storytelling, honest reflection, and tender guidance, Jessica Amos shares her path from religious trauma and leaving the church to finding herself and creating a new belief system rooted in love. This course isn’t about replacing one belief system with another — it’s about reclaiming yourself, honoring your story, and discovering that the God you long for might be closer than you ever imagined. Whether you’re newly questioning or years into your healing, you’re not alone. There’s something beautiful waiting on the other side. Join Jessica for these five days of storytelling, heartfelt reflection, and daily invitations to explore what connection with God means to you. Note: This course includes sensitive topics such as trauma and abuse.

Lesson 1

Growing Up In Church

Many of us were raised in rigid religious environments where fear and shame were disguised as holiness. In this opening session, Jessica shares the raw and tender truth of growing up in a home where religion replaced addiction—and where love was conditional, control was spiritualized, and fear of hell loomed large. This lesson sets the stage for recognizing the roots of religious trauma and offers a gentle invitation to start naming and honoring your own story.

Lesson 2

Leaving The Church

Leaving religion can feel both liberating and terrifying. In this session, Jessica shares the moment she chose to break the belief-cycle that wounded her—and how that choice catalyzed her journey toward something new. You’ll explore the grief, relief, and complexity of walking away from a belief system that once defined you, and the courage it takes to face the unknown.

Lesson 3

Losing Yourself, Finding Yourself

What happens after you leave? In this vulnerable and validating session, Jessica unpacks the “lost years”—those unmoored seasons where you’re no longer who you were, but not yet sure who you are. This is the time of rebuilding, of recovering lost parts of yourself, and of learning to trust your knowing after a lifetime of being taught to distrust your inner voice.

Lesson 4

A New Land

Once we’ve grieved, questioned, and explored—we begin to rebuild. This session is about choosing: What do you want to believe? What actually resonates with your soul? Jessica speaks to the power of creating a belief system rooted in love, not fear—and how liberating it is to realize we get to choose what feels true.

Lesson 5

Finding God

This final lesson is the full-circle moment. Jessica reflects on what it means to rediscover God—not as a punishing authority figure, but as a presence of love, awe, and inner knowing. Whether you call it God, Spirit, the Universe, or Divine Beloved, this is an invitation to step into a relationship with the sacred that feels real, nourishing, and yours.
