What happened when my husband lost his faith

‘Doubt is no small thing, it’s heavy, invasive and not an emotion someone can carry alone,’ says singer, Steph Porter. She shares her husband’s experience walking away from faith, and his journey back.

On a rainy Sunday in August 2022 at around 7pm, my husband Ash turned to me as we sat in our car and told me he didn’t think he could call himself a Christian anymore.

The conversation that followed definitely wasn’t my finest wife moment, confused by the statement I remember saying “but why didn’t you say?”. Really helpful, I know. After that, we talked lots about expectations and boundaries, we talked about the journey to this moment, and we talked about the future. One thing was for sure, Ash wanted to fight for his faith.
