Summary
I’ve prayed for years that my kids would chase after God-sized dreams, so when I saw Sheila Erwin’s book on Raising Up Dreamers, I knew she would be perfect for our summer series on Pardon the Mess.
Sheila is the mother of Andrew and Jon Erwin, writers and producers of I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe, and many other Christian films. Sheila shares with us the importance of recognizing our kids’ own unique giftings, then finding ways to help them maximize what God has woven into their design.
I loved her encouragement on working through learning differences in her own son’s life and now being able to see how these obstacles have become a gift to his flourishing career. We also have a great discussion around dream killers, and Sheila challenges us to make sure we allow our kids to chase after their own dreams, not ours (ouch).
I love this woman, and I can’t wait for you to hear her wise words. Let’s make sure we take some time this summer to look for what it is that God has planted in our children and find ways to help them maximize it!

| 0:02.0 | This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Mess. I am glad you're with us today |
| 0:36.6 | and happy summer. I hope that |
| 0:38.8 | it has kicked off well in your house. We are trying to cover topics on Thursdays on Pardon |
| 0:44.1 | the Mess that really will speak into our summers. And so kind of be watching for that. Today, |
| 0:49.5 | we're going to be talking about Raising Up Dreamers, which is the title of our guest book, Sheila Irwin. And I love |
| 0:56.7 | this whole notion of raising up kids who are dreamers, dreaming the big things. And Sheila comes with |
| 1:02.5 | a whole lot of street cred in this area because she is mom to Andrew and John Irwin, known as |
| 1:08.1 | the Irwin brothers, who are film directors, screenwriters, |
| 1:16.4 | film producers. You probably know them from the film I can only imagine. They've done several of the films that Priscilla Shire has been in. But what I love is that Sheila chats |
| 1:22.0 | with us today about noticing and seeing and praising the unique qualities in our kids, |
| 1:28.8 | those talents and giftings that we see early on in their lives, how to step into their world and appreciate them with |
| 1:33.2 | them. She talks about learning differences and how often those very learning differences |
| 1:38.1 | are the things that will help our kids be more successful later in life. And then she also |
| 1:42.4 | talks about dream crushers and the things we want to try to keep |
| 1:46.4 | from letting our kids get into or the things that we might do that can crush their dreams. |
| 1:51.5 | And so I think this is a good topic to think about in the summer when we have a little bit more |
| 1:56.1 | time, hopefully a little bit more margin to help our kids dream those big dreams. So I'm thrilled to have |
| 2:02.9 | Sheila Irwin with us today. Here we go. Hey Sheila Irwin. Welcome to Pardon the Mess. How are you? |
| 2:13.2 | Oh, I'm great. How are you? I'm so good. I'm glad to be here with you. Now, listen, before you |
