Paradise Lost and Found

  For nearly eighteen years, Ryan served at Bethel, the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses, dedicating his life to faith, obedience, and sacrifice—an existence he found deeply rewarding. But when a series of events revealed unsettling truths about “the truth,” he faced a painful choice: to fake belief or follow his conscience and risk losing everyone he loved and everything he knew.

  

Genesis After the Exodus is a memoir of awakening, breaking free from religious fear and control, and learning from all that was lost and found along the way. Told with honesty, warmth, and compassion, Ryan reflects on leaving the predetermined “Best Life Ever” and stepping into a self-determined life. Bittersweet and deeply human, this story honors the extraordinary people who shaped him while exploring the cost of freedom and the unexpected beauty of living authentically.
