    165 // Waiting Well in Seasons of Overwhelm - with Erika Diaz-Castro from Her Renewed Strength Co.

    When we are in seasons of waiting, it can often feel like something to be endured, rather than enjoyed. How can we “wait well” even if we’re in a season of overwhelm?

On today’s episode I’m speaking to Erika Diaz-Castro, Christian life coach for Christian women, the founder and owner of Her Renewed Strength Co,, and the host of Her Renewed Strength - the Podcast. She is also the host of the upcoming 2024 RENEWED Conference where 10 experts (including me!) will talk about what it means to wait well. Erika talks about her journey to wait well through financial uncertainty, her 5-year cancer journey, her struggles with drugs and alcohol, and more. This is a faith-filled conversation that will fill you with hope and encouragement. Erika is a Christ follower, wife, mama, and graduate student at Dallas Theological Seminary. She is passionate about helping women get in God's Word and grow in their faith as Christians.   Resources Mentioned: Join me and nine other amazing speakers!
