Lola Sheen, daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, has publicly shared her newfound faith in Christ. While she admitted that she has quite a bit to learn, Sheen vulnerably shared how God demonstrated his power during one of her worst panic attacks.
“I have been wanting to share how God has transformed my life for so long,” said Sheen in a recent YouTube video.

Lola Sheen came to know Christ last year and was recently baptized in a local church. Sheen’s Instagram profile describes her as “saved by His Grace,” and she started a podcast to share her journey with others.
“Jesus is the only reason why I’m here today and made my life worth living,” Sheen said.
With just two episodes, her “HeavenlyBonded” podcast is “about walking with Jesus and walking through life.” Sheen has committed to uploading a new video each Sunday. The second episode focuses on “God’s Strength In Our Weakness.”
Sheen recently traveled to New York City for several days to promote a new show on Bravo, “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things.” While many people would embrace and enjoy a full schedule, interviews, and hair and makeup sessions, Sheen found it daunting.
Sheen remembered, “I did not make enough time to pray and to really, really let God fill my mind with his truth.”
She described how she felt insecure around so many “people who constantly have eyes on you.” Combined with being in the large city and navigating a full day of press interviews, the insecurity led Sheen to experience growing anxiety that could lead to a panic attack.
“I never made enough time for Jesus because I was so busy,” admitted Sheen. She later reflected on how it’s “important to make sure that I’m putting God at the beginning of my day and the end of my day.”

Sheen recognized a familiar cycle in her own life. She listens to the world, rather than God’s truth, and it creates such anxiety within her soul. In this instance, her natural tendency was to isolate herself. But she knew isolation is often a temptation from the enemy because “that’s when we’re the most vulnerable.” Rather than fixating on the negative thoughts and emotions, Sheen decided to embark on a fun day in the city with friends. Admittedly, she still had not spent time with God and “received God’s peace.”
