For years, Avis lived under the weight of expectations- her family's, her church's, and a version of God that demanded perfection and punished honesty. But when pleasing everyone meant losing herself, she walked away. What followed was pain, clarity, and the kind of freedom that only comes after rock bottom. Told through the reflections and vulnerability, Avis's story is a journey of deconstructing harmful theology, confronting familial wounds, and rediscovering faith-not in a distant, angry deity, but in a Christ of radical love, justice, and compassion. This is not your mother's religion.
