Avoiding God - Erika Diaz-Castro's story
Description
What happens when faith feels like pretending, and you can’t live with the disconnect anymore?
Erika Diaz-Castro, a wife, mom, and Bible teacher who once lived a double life—publicly religious but privately wrestling with doubt, shame, and the pull of self-fulfillment. Her story traces a winding path through skepticism, identity confusion, new-age spirituality, and even spiritual darkness, until a powerful encounter with God changed everything.
