Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ youngest daughter is getting real about her spiritual journey.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Lola Sheen revealed she got baptized at the start of the new year after hitting “rock bottom” while struggling with her mental health. She wrote alongside pictures of her baptism:
“When I was in my deepest depression, there was a moment where I realized I hit rock bottom. I felt so lost and hopeless, and was just doing my best to make it to the next day. I just accepted my life was going to be like that forever, and thought I would never genuinely laugh again. Until, I met not only my Savior but my best friend, Jesus. I can’t really explain it other than it was supernatural, but Jesus met me exactly where I was, and He forever became my sun. I began to trust Jesus with my life, when He chose me when no one else did, and loved me when I didn’t feel worthy of love. He gave me a light, when I couldn’t find my own, and rescued me from the darkness.”

Not only was the 19-year-old suffering from depression, but she was “battling severe anxiety.” And it wasn’t until she found religion, Lola said, that she finally found her “peace.” She continued:
“Jesus saved me from battling severe anxiety, and gave me a peace that makes no sense. I now find myself laughing again, in places I only had cried. Jesus fulfilled His promise of making me new, and completely renewed my mind. Jesus is the only reason why I’m here today and made my life worth living. I chose to get baptized at the beginning of this year, because I made it through this year only by the strength of Jesus, and I am so happy to go into this next year, after publicly declaring Jesus as my Savior. I am forever saved by His grace, through Faith. I thank you Jesus for everything, I love you, and I hope you are proud of me.”

And in another rare update from the teen, she also is launching a new podcast to open up some more about her spiritual journey. She changed her Instagram bio to include a link to her YouTube channel called Heavenly Bonded. The description reads:
“I have been wanting to share how God has transformed my life for so long, and I’m so happy I’m finally doing so. I can’t wait to see how Jesus uses this podcast, and I couldn’t be more excited. I love you and God loves you more.”
Wow. It seems this year already has been a big one for Lola. Reactions? Share them in the comments below.
