Our guest today, Shelia Erwin, raised two amazing children. You may know them as the Erwin Brothers who went on to produce box office films such as I Can Only Imagine and Mom's Night Out.   Shelia speaks to moms and grandmothers about what it is like to parent two dreamers and raise them up God's way.    ******** Kimberly Hobbs   Welcome to empowering lives with purpose. And I'm your host, Kimberly Hobbs, and I am the founder of Women world leaders. We are so grateful to have you here today, ladies, and I'm just thrilled to talk with our guests today. Miss Mrs. Sheila Erwin. Shelia Erwin   Well, thank you. It's great to be here. Kimberly Hobbs   Oh, it's great to have you. Ladies, you're going to hear about this woman and who she is. I'm really excited about today's podcast, we're going to be talking to moms and grandmothers. Proverbs 22. Six says, Train up a child in the way they should go. And when they are old, they will not depart from it. We're gonna talk more about that and her two special boys that she raised up. So today, ladies, podcast is for you. We're here to inspire you encourage you to walk after Jesus to run after Jesus with all of your heart. And if we could be there to put smiles on your faces while doing it, we want to do that. Ephesians 210 says that we are God's masterpiece we are created anew in Christ Jesus to do the very good things that he planned for us long ago. And we believe that you have a beautiful purpose, ladies. And if you are moms and grandmothers today. Just be prepared to be blessed to hear from this special woman of God. We are just so honored to have her. Sheila Irwin, who is she? Well, she's from Alabama. And Sheila is passionate about pointing other women to Jesus, especially moms and grandmothers. And she served in the women women's ministry as a director. She speaks at retreats, and she leads Bible study groups across the country. Sheila manages a successful travel company, but her greatest joy is being a wife, a mother, a mother in law and grandmother. And that's so beautiful to hear that you cherish that Sheila she loves the mother to well known filmmakers Andy and John Irwin of the Irwin brothers and kingdom story company, you may know of some of their movies like I can only imagine. And moms night out. Sheila Irwin is also the author of the book raising up dreamers find and grow your children's God given talents. We'll talk about that later and how you can get her book. She heads up a women's ministry, which is called Raising dreamer ministry at WWW dot raising Dreamers ministry.org And today we get to hear more from her about being a mom and a grandmother and raising up these children. But God ladies, right? How do we raise children in today's society, but God? So again, I shared that scripture starting out of Proverbs 22 Six that says Train up a child in the way they should go. And when they are old, they will not depart from it. The Bible is so full of truths, especially in Proverbs and training of children is so important. Sheila, you raised up two very special boys who have become world changers in what they do. But they had to begin somewhere. And they had to be taught right? So parenting is such an important tool ladies at home, you know that. And if you have children running around how important it is to teach and train them instead of leaving them to their own. You say in your book, Sheila that the pressure doesn't need to be on us though. We need to follow the leading of the Lord. So how did you raise two boys to be dreamers in their reach and give us a glimpse of life inside the Erwin household? Shelia Erwin   Well, to start with my husband is a dreamer. He's been in radio and television for a long, long time, had a talk show for many many years over 25 years. And and then was a state senator for eight years but so he started he was just he was the dreamer in the household and the creative one I was an art major. And so that combination, I guess was kind of good for our boys as well but to know our family, we followed heart after God as a family. We taught our children that Jesus Christ could be there all in all that he could do anything, and that. And so when they were 12 and 16, that came to their daddy. And they said that we really believe that God wants us to make Christian movies. And heighten did not discourage that at all. He said, Well, that's great guys. But there's some things you need to know. The first thing is, it's going to take 20 years to build a company, where you can really make good movies. So you know, you got some time. The other thing is, is you're going to have to do the wow factor. If somebody looks at your work, and they say, that's good. You say, I'm not done yet. Go back to the drawing board. And you work more until they look at your work and go, Wow, you're doing everything with excellence. And so at that point, our boys were already, Hank was already letting them be a hit on live TV show, but that time, and they were he was allowing them to, to run a camera, each of them run on one of the cameras at 12 and 16. They were running in camera. And then they started working around the studio, they're doing some football games and working in this in it, they just kind of like ducks to water, we just that it was just there we homeschool. So they have plenty of time to pursue this. And plus they're four years apart. And they had time to develop their relationship. I don't think there would be Irwin brothers, if it had not been for the fact that we did homeschool. And they had time to develop those relationships and those things. And so, um, so that was kind of what our home like I, I homeschool them, you know, so I was having input that way as well. We homeschooled. Our John is add. And so homes, he says homeschool and saved his life in school and, and he was doing okay. He wasn't doing poorly, by any stretch of the imagination is extremely high key both of my boys do. But he was really struggling in the classroom. So after we came home to homeschool, he will actually in second grade from reading he was reading second grade fifth month, which is on you know, that's okay, average. But by the end of the second grade just by homeschooling he's then really eighth grade eighth month. He just needed the stability of being where there weren't a lot of people and a lot of things going on so he could really learn. So we didn't we had our challenges that way. But they began to create and slowly but surely Andy went off to to Bible college. And while he was gone, John turned his room into a studio, Hank bought him his own camera. He had another homeschool guy that worked for free, or at least John said it was for free. He ate me at a house and home. And they began to do commercials and missionary videos and just learning the craft learning what to do and how to do it. And slowly but surely, it came time where John asked me if he wanted to come home and join him in he did. He came home and joined. That's quite a story there. You can read that in the book. But he came home and joined his brother. They started doing they started doing music videos. By that time Michael W. Smith gave them their big break your ask them to do a video for him. And after that it was just smooth sailing as far as others asking them to do it. And then their big break came when Casting Crowns asked them to do their video. And they won their first double award. They won many double awards after that time for Best Video of the Year. And then eventually made the first movie which was on top of baby so that's kind of in a nutshell. Mainly we followed after God we did not set out to make movie makers. That was not our dream and it wasn't our dream in the first place. It was their dream. And so we supported them in that and tell them but God could do anything. Kimberly Hobbs   But he can That's right. Yeah. Same man. Amen. So that's that's so interesting how you are sharing that you saw a need and in one of your children to hone in because he had that what they labeled as add it but through homeschooling you said you were able to really nurture him in that area so that he could pay attention and I love that that you were very in tune to what was going on within his person. So let's narrow this down a little bit and talk about cultivating their gifts your their specific gifts. Sheila and so what did that look like when they were really young? How did you cultivate them? You had to have little indications of what they were moving to. And I'm sure you wanted them to follow after God while they were young. How did you cultivate the gifts that they had as human beings? Shelia Erwin   My boys wrote the foreword to my book, okay. Andy wrote about a something that happened in our home, that that I was just doing for fun. Like I said, I'm an art major. So I was just doing for fun, but it changed the trajectory of his life. But they love Star Wars. And the Christmas before we had been able, even though we were the ministry, God had provided Star Wars stuff for 80% off, so we bought everything they had. And so the boys had all the Star Wars things. And I decided that would be fun, because we had a garage we couldn't use because our driveway was straight down, I mean, straight down. And so we didn't really, you know, go up and down that driveway very much. So we didn't use the garage except for storage. And so I thought, wouldn't it be fun to make a set of Star Wars. So we also I got sawhorses. And I got plywood, and we went out there. And we, we started working, I think it was an old ping pong table, maybe even. But anyway, we started working on an ester working on it. And then the boys joined in, and we made a Star Wars set. And, and Andrew said that that changed his life. Because it was his first first adventure, he was sick, he was six years old. His first venture into telling stories, and he would play at the hinge on will play out there forever, and changing the characters around and telling stories together. And he said that, and I said, Well, what was so special about that, as an adult, I asked him that, and he said, you entered into my world. I think sometimes we don't do that. Or maybe we have a dream. And we want a doctor or lawyer or an Indian chief, whatever it is that you want. And we set out to develop that I didn't do that. I set out to know my children, and to help them be who they were, and who they are. And they're totally different, totally, totally different. And so I helped to help them learn and to nurture that another story would be with John. He was about three or four, maybe four, I don't know. And I had somebody over. And so I said, I need to get John busy. Because it's not good at John's not Dan's not busy while we're talking. So I'll win and I got a shoebox and some all kinds of just art supplies. And I put him over in the corner and said, make me something, make me something. Well, about an hour later, he comes back with a robot, that that these arms and legs go up and down. You know, not bad for five girls. But that was it his own creativity, gave them the tools to be able to cultivate and the time I gave them time to be able to cultivate that thing that they loved. And to nurture that as the as we went along. I didn't set out to conform them to the image. I thought they aren't debate. I set out to discover them. I think we make mistakes as Mom's doing that, to discover my children was just so amazing to me, because they had such incredible things going on in their their little brains that if we take the time, we can it's transformative. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Wow, that is just That's powerful. Because again, you know, we can be selfish as parents, because you know, we wouldn't be proud of these kids. And then everybody gravitates toward their, you know, dream job or something, and they point their kids, but that's not necessarily the gifts that God has given them. We need to look ladies for those special gifts that God has planted in your child and your grandchildren and honing in on those. And just like Sheila said, you know, she got into their world, what made them happy, where were they excelling? And then she developed with them, where they were doing their best thing because we can push our agenda on them. But they're not necessarily going to be happy children when they're not comfortable in that agenda. But when we can get into their world and what makes them happy, then we're going to be able to have their ear as we go through their life with them because we know they're in their happy place. They know that they're comfortable with mom because she's moving with them and she gets it what makes them happy. So really be a good listener to your child and ask God to show you what What those gifts are in your children. And that's beautiful. That was great advice. Thank you, Sheila. Shelia Erwin   One more little story. Because you mentioned grandson's, I have seven grandchildren. They're the most amazing people. But anyway, and of course, of course they are. That's what they call them, Grant. But my Isaac, he's 13, almost 14 right now. But when he was about six or seven, I was writing my book. I was starting to write my book. And he knew Nene was a writer. And, and so he came to, he came to me and and he said, Maybe I want to write a book. And I've written a book. I said, you have he said, Yes, ma'am. He said, it can I bring it in short to you. So he had taken animals. He's very creative as well. He can you take an animal's and he told something that had a picture of that animal tell something about those animals. And I said, let's put it into a book form. So I had an app, we put it into a format, edit it down, I got it all ready. I sent it to the person that could I got a, I had a person that can make it into a book. I had, I think it was 10 copies made. There were probably $20 apiece, I don't know it's ridiculous. But but he got he had one for all the grandparents in the parents. And he actually took one to his school. And he took it to his teacher. And she they put it in the library at the school. Kimberly Hobbs   Oh, my goodness, wow. Look in the library at school. And he's a published author. And a beautiful, I love it. I love it. Oh, my goodness. And those are just like, you had to share that. Because those are those proud memories, those moments that you know that you invested well, right? Like you can still say to this day that that memory of investing into the happiness of your child by cultivating those gifts. And you did so well with that, Sheila. So I want to share a scripture. Right now, Isaiah 815, which says, Many will stumble over the stone in the rock and will fall and be seriously injured and be ensnared and captured. Today's world, we know it's easy to get ensnared. And the enemy is all about his schemes, ladies, right for our children, he wants our kids he is after our children. And it's a scary thing. So Sheila, how did you guide your children to chase those God given dreams and channel their talents to glorify God and not be gripped by the world not feel like they were doing things to impress the world? How did you bring them back? to channel those gifts? And do it for God? Shelia Erwin   Oh, wow, that's a great question. That's a fantastic question. A lifetime it takes the lifetime of the child. I mean, you know, you start very young, you don't start at 13 or 16, to try to do those things you're talking to me, you know, I always tell moms, your battle with your child is not one at 16. It's one to two. And so realizing that and cultivating, you know those things, but we cultivated our home. And what I mean by that our our house was the fun house. Everybody knew there was restrict, and if you went over to their house, you had to obey the rules. You know, we were fortunate to have a swimming pool. So we were the place everybody wanted to be but but we cultivated our home. And we brought children into our home more than our children went out into other homes. Okay. There were very few homes they were allowed to actually go out into. But we would bring the children into our home and we would, you know, our neighborhood children have actually been known to knock on the door and say Can Can Mr. r1 come in and play? You know, and so that's my husband just came in, and our Mr. Hunt was what they were calling. And so we cultivated a home of joy and fun and activity and all those things. We did a lot of things together as families, we met other families. And so we cultivated that where they they really had a refuge. Your children need for home to be the safest place on the face of this earth. That they know that world's going crazy and that mom and dad are going to give me a safe refuge. And because peer pressure is the most damning thing on the face of this loss, appear dependencies what it is nowadays, and so Okay, so we use the book of Daniel, one of the things I tell my boys was the Book of Enoch. And in the book of Daniel, we say that that some young man from Israel were taken captive. These were the cream of the crop the best of the best. They were the prince of Egypt, appearance of Israel, they were they were the smartest and most handsome they were, you know, they're good looking. They were He accomplished all of it, all of it. And out of that group, there were four young men that would stand alone. And then there was one and his name was standing. And so we teach our boys that we taught our boys that we are to set the standard not be pulled by the standard, we need in the group, we need to be that one that Daniel, dare to be a Daniel. And so, you know, so that helped our boys to know, you know, we talked to them about peer pressure, we talked to them about what to do, we talked to the fact that they get in a sticky wicket that they can call and we'll come get them right away, no condemnation, and no judgment will get them and bring them home. You know, so we were there for them, I think there for them would be the thing. And now you think you've got all these years and years and years, and you're gonna be a parent, it's hard, and you know, all this kind of stuff. But I'm going to tell you something, it goes by in a heartbeat. It does. The enemy does want our children. Now my children went to a very, that they worked for ESPN for a long time, they were the top two cameraman they travel all over the US that was their paying job while they develop their, their movie studios. And, and, and as my boys say, you know, the movie crew, or they're all pirates. And my boys love those guys, and they love them. But at night, when everybody would maybe go to the bar, the boys stayed, you know, in their hotel room together, you know, alone. There were things that they had to do to stand alone, but you teach them to stand alone, they teach them that, that Jesus Christ really will stand with them. They don't stand alone belong. But there are things that you have to you just have to teach them those things that I think a lot of parents think that kids are just getting get it. Right, somehow I don't know where they think they're gonna get it. They don't, they don't take time to teach and to talk. And it's such a joy to watch my boys now with their own children and, and listening to them instruct and teach. And especially now, you know, they both have a teenager, almost 14 years old, both John has a girl in me as a boy and watching them, cultivate those relationships has been a joy as well. So it's, it's, it's that thing that you're going to let them know that they are going to struggle at times, but you're there for them. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. Amen. And I love that I love that you taught out of the book of Daniel on the Bible, and, and you taught them to stand alone. And I just remember a song that I was taught as a young child. And it was dared to be a Daniel, be a Daniel dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose truth there to make it known. So that that you teach them in standing alone, that are standing alone for a purpose. They have a truth, a truth that they need to hold on too tightly. And make that truth known of why they're being alone. And in you parents are the ones that need to pour into your child to teach them that to have that confidence that they can stand alone because they're standing on truth, not what the world is trying to, to trap them in. Right. So we want to I love that you brought up Daniel, that's so cool, and see how God just brings those things to mind when they're instilled in you as a child. Absolutely, yes, amen. So in closing, dear Sheila, it's not always easy to raise our children with circumstances in this world that have worn us down. And we need an attitude adjustments sometimes. And when those attitude adjustments need to be made, they're not just for our children, right? They're for ourselves. Because things happen in raising our children. We can get really just pulling our hair out sometimes and our attitude can turn sour really quick. But the Bible tells us be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord. God is with you. That's first Corinth Chronicles 2820 God will never fail you or forsake you as a mom. And Sheila knows that. But God she said, I said Sheila, what's a good title for this? And she's like, how about but God and I said, Yeah, so but God when he's never gonna leave you alone. So God will see to it that all the work is finished correctly. All his work that he started is finished correctly. So again, remember that verse first Chronicles 2820. Ladies, you can go back to that. Sheila's reclosing out, please weigh into that scripture of how God never leaves us alone during the difficult moments, and especially your difficult moments of raising two dreamers, because I'm sure there were plenty of those. Shelia Erwin   Absolutely. You know, somebody asked me one time, would you have done anything different? I said, Oh, only two things. And I said, only two. And I said, Yeah, I want to be the perfect mother. And they would have been the perfect children. That didn't happen. And so there's no such thing. There's only one perfect, perfect person, and that's the Lord Jesus Christ. But when my when my Andy was about nine months old, I remember he was sleeping in the crib. And, and I hadn't, I am an only child. I had been, I had been a principal of school, but I had never had little children. I mean, around except for a cousin that lived next door, and I kind of have raised her. But I remember going to the Lord that day. And because I heard my mentor did say that she'd done the same thing. But as I looked at him laying in the crib, I said, Lord, would you protect my child from my flesh? Would you parent, my child through me, I make available to you, my mouth, my ears, my eyes, my heart, my hands, my feet, you parent, and he had been faithful to that cry of that little 29, almost 30 year old woman. Kimberly Hobbs   Oh my goodness, repeat those again, Shelia. Those are beautiful. Wow. Shelia Erwin   I just said, would you protect these babies from my flesh? You know, the first thing. And then the second thing was, would you parent, my child through me, and here's my, here's my mouth, my hands, my eyes, my heart, my feet, everything I give it aren't yours. I give it all to you. And you show me what to do. And he has been faithful. I'm teaching the book of James right now. You know, and it says, Let him who lacks wisdom, asking he gives it... Kimberly Hobbs   James 1:5! Shelia Erwin   ...he gives it an abundance, but he also gives it without reproach. He doesn't say Do you not know that yet? I can't believe you're asking me that. No, is without reproach. So he will he is always ever there for us. And remembering this, God didn't give you the wrong children. And he didn't give them the wrong mother, either. And so I think sometimes we begin to feel like you know, we're not doing it right. Satan loves to whisper that in their ear. And if I just had children, like that lady over there, look at her children, you know, then I could do whatever. But he's asked you to parent the ones he's given you. And He will teach you. I think parenting is probably the biggest sanctification tool that God has in his arsenal for we moms and dads do. But he uses it uses it to sanctify us. Then sanctified means to make us holy. And it's progressive. And he's doing that, as he's teaching us what real love looks like, what real sacrifice looks like, what going the extra mile looks like? What, whatever that thing is that you need for that moment. He is Ever, ever there and ever teaching us those wonderful truths that we're going to need not only for our children, but for our own lives as well. And so seeing this process of parenting is God's tool for sanctification for me, and at the same time, hopefully the children will be enslaved by it as well. But God never leaves us nor forsake says he's always always there for us. And he's always available to us. If we if we've come to Christ, if we've understood the sin payment, if we've understood that we're sinners, and this is Easter weekend, isn't going to Easter, if we've understood that he died on the cross, and it was raised from the grave, and we accept that sin payment as our very own. The Holy Spirit comes in to dwell in us permanently. And He will never leave you nor forsake you. And he's the instructor. He's our counselor. He's our teacher. And he's everything that we need for godliness and holiness. And he's everything we need to be godly moms and grandmothers, as well. Amen. Kimberly Hobbs   Amen. That is so beautiful, and how just beautiful advice to these ladies and grandmothers moms and grandmothers alike. And Sheila, I just can't thank you enough and just how beautiful the way you said it. I just That's why I asked you to repeat it about praying to God and not allowing our flesh to get in the way as moms and grandmothers. What a prayer I know I will be praying that especially and I love that prayer. So, and go through all of your all of your senses, like Sheila did pray over them specifically because some of us, you know, can let our mouths get in the way some of us can let our tempers flare up in our extremities get in the way, you know, we have to be very careful. So it's important to pray for our flesh and all from head to toe. I love, love. Love that, Sheila, thank you. Thank you, you have been a treasure to have on this empowering lives with purpose podcast, I am so grateful. And Sheila, before I share about our women, world leaders voice of truth magazine, I would like you to share about your book that you have out and how our ladies could get that book. Shelia Erwin   Oh, absolutely. It is. It's a book that's easy to read. It's broken down into small segments. And you can have women who use it even for their devotional time as well. But, but it's our journey, but it's the things that God taught me along the way, about parenting my children. And, you know, please don't read it thinking if I do this, I'll have my sons will be movie directors, or my daughters will be actresses or you know, remember, it's their dream, if that's what God calls them to. Absolutely. But I think I think it's a book of encouragement. To follow heart after God to know him and make him known is what it is you can get it on Amazon, you can get it you can get it it Focus on the Family, they're my they're my distributor, the the actual, the answer, you can get it on their, their website as well. Most places, sell books, Barnes and Nobles, you know, all of those, but it's raising up dreamers, especially when or when, and I would love for you to get a copy and read it. And then we've talked a lot about grandmother's and I haven't been I didn't think about it. But I've got a little Tin Tin. I mean, it's a little handwritten pages is, but it's it's actually a prayer guide for grand moms and moms and grandmothers to pray together 30 days of prayer, and you can kind of sit it up somewhere. And you'll just go in and it tells you about different ways to pray for your your grandchildren and your children. You can do it together. I've got moms and grandmothers that are actually doing the 30 days together. You can you can email me, and I'll tell you how to get a copy. But it's just raising dreamers ministries, it's plural ministries@gmail.com and ask for a copy and I'll tell you how you can get it and I'll mail it out to you that way. But yeah, we got a website.

Welcome to episode 867, the last in our new 7-part series with our fantastic partners, LUX Wines and Maze Row Wine Merchant. We are proud to present this series of interviews, diving deep into the heritage and legacy of their excellent Italian producers, celebrating the launch of the new brand identity for their importer, Maze Row Wine Merchant. This episode has John Irwin interviewing Bernardino Sani of the Argiano Winery. More about Argiano Winery: Argiano represents five centuries of excellence in Montalcino. CEO and winemaker Bernardino Sani is rooted in this territory and he worked his first internship in the Argiano cellar, after receiving his viticulture and winemaking degree in 2002. Today his passion also encompasses the need for sustainable winemaking. With an unwavering respect for nature and tradition, Argiano produces highly acclaimed wines that speak eloquently of their terroir. With 120 hectares at over 300 meters above sea level, the nearby sea breezes gently cool the aptly named historic Villa Bell'Aria. In 1967 Argiano made history with the Brunello of Montalcino, playing a key role as a founding organization in the birth of the Consortium, and later created the famous Solegno, Montepulciano's “Super Tuscan.” Argiano was the first company in Montalcino to become plastic-free, in 2019. All single-use plastics have been eliminated. The idea was inspired by desire to maintain the 4 Rs for the environment: Reduce, Recuperate, Recycle and Reuse. Under Sani's care, Argiano practices organic and sustainable agriculture. Natural insecticides are banned and biodiversity is nurtured. In the cellar, Bernardino has eliminated the use of barriques for the aging of Sangiovese in an effort to more clearly represent the terroir of Argiano. All these decisions: organics, holistic viticultural adjustments, and changes to less invasive winemaking philosophy means that Argiano is currently making the best wines of their storied history. Sani says, “We believe that the vine should not be designed to our liking but should be studied, understood, interpreted, and respected; we believe that it shouldn't be manipulated, but allowed to express itself, to define a place, a climate, a harvest. This is what Good Agriculture means to us. I have always loved the beauty of the countryside, the vineyards, the history, and the amazing wines produced here. For someone like me who is born in Tuscany, Argiano offers all the things we embrace.” To learn more about Argiano visit: https://www.argiano.net/en/ To learn more about Maze Row and the rich heritage of their Portfolio, visit: www.mazerow.com To learn more about Maze Row Wine Merchant, visit: https://www.mazerow.com https://www.instagram.com/mazerowwines/ https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=maze%20row%20wines%20merchant More about the host: John Irwin has been working in wine for fifteen years, starting as a grocery store merchandiser in Chicago in 2007, and then working his way through several different roles within the wholesaler side of the business, including sales team management and regional chain sales.

This episode has John Irwin interviewing Pietro Ratti of Cantina Ratti. Fresh from oenological school in Alba, Pietro was just 20 years old when his father, Renato Ratti, passed away suddenly, leaving him to take over the winery. Over the course of 30+ vintages, Pietro has not only proven himself an exemplary vintner, but an incredible ambassador for the region, and more specifically the commune of La Morra. Pietro served two terms as the President of the Consorzio di Tutela Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani. It was during one of his terms in 2010 when he oversaw the completion of the official map of Barolo's MGAs, formally cementing the legendary map his father began drawing in 1965. One of Pietro's most significant achievements was building a new cantina atop a small hill in Annunziata, a short distance from the original cellars used by his father. Opened in time for the 2007 harvest, the stunning facility combines winemaking and cellar, along with a spectacular tasting facility; large windows afford guests breathtaking views of La Morra. It's there where you'll find Pietro in his natural element as a tireless host and a raconteur of the highest order.
