Summary
Our first featured mentor is the fabulous Sheila Walsh!!
“God had no grandchildren. He only had sons and daughters. Faith is something you have to choose for yourself.”
Those words started Sheila Walsh on a journey to know God and His love for her. From the tragic death of her father to professional success as 700 club co-host to discover freedom and peace in a psychiatric ward, Sheila shares a bit of her beautiful broken story.
“Suffering can be a gift from God. Because it really draws you closer to His heart. And a greater understanding that it’s never about me getting it right its about Christ who came to make everything right.”
This may be a “top ten favorite” interview for me. I’ve been a fan of Sheila and her work for years. But her wisdom and God’s grace in this episode ministered to me in a way and time that I needed most. Resonating with my soul that “through the broken places Christ’s love is closest to us.”
We also talk about fun ways to share the good news of God’s Word with your kids. How to keep the conversation open and allow our kids to ask hard, unanswerable questions. To give them the freedom to speak truth and know it doesn’t change God’s love for them.

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all, welcome back to the God Center Mom podcast. I'm your host Heather McVadian, |
| 0:10.1 | and this is the place where we remind you through mentorship, friendship, and discipleship |
| 0:15.0 | that you don't mom alone. We're kicking off our Summer of Mentorship series with Week |
| 0:19.9 | 1 featuring Sheila Walsh. |
| 0:22.4 | But then it's Christian Drew a little bit. I thought, you know, I want him to understand |
| 0:28.2 | what have fun is to dive into the Word of God, not just to read, you know, like a couple |
| 0:32.8 | of verses and try and kind of fit that onto your life, but to suddenly see your whole |
| 0:38.6 | life through the mirror of the Word of God, through that window. And as I watched my sons |
| 0:45.0 | love for the Word of God, even like, I mean, this is, he was older then, but when he was |
| 0:49.9 | 15, he was struggling with a stutter. And it was a real issue to him. And I was, I was |
| 0:56.3 | up in his room one day, he was at school and I was changing his sheets. And I realized |
| 1:00.2 | up on the ceiling that he had pasted and I've known how he got up there and I don't even |
| 1:05.1 | want to know, but he'd copied out that text where it says, you know, my grace is sufficient |
| 1:10.4 | for you. My strength has made perfect in weakness. And I realized he had the same text written |
| 1:14.9 | in his bathroom. And then he can pump school that day. I said, tell me about that. And he |
| 1:19.1 | said, Mom, Mom, I asked God if he would take this away. But I think they were saying to |
| 1:23.3 | me, no, I'm going to shine through the place that you think is the most broken. So I've |
| 1:27.5 | watched as the Word of God moved from just something we put into our sons hands when |
| 1:32.9 | he was a little boy to something that's become the text wrote for his life. And that's |
| 1:37.7 | what I want for every mom and dad. |
| 1:40.4 | This episode originally aired in February of 2017. It's episode 151 for your reference. |
| 1:45.8 | I'm putting it here in the summer of mentorship because I want those who are newer listeners |
