Welcome to episode 058 of Mud Stories!
Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
Today’s episode is part two of my conversation with Lelia Chealey, a writer, speaker, and conference director who lives in Nebraska with her family.
Lelia has three children, two grandchildren, and has been through some very difficult seasons in her life.
In this episode Lelia shares about:
- The challenges of parenting teens and young adults through their mud
- The pain of walking alongside your child in their own mud
- The refining and growth that comes from wrestling through pain
Lelia discusses:
- The mud of her son Aaron’s prison sentence
- How her trust in God grew through the difficulty and change of having a child in prison
- And the ways God has redeemed and brought good from all of the mud
Lelia shares with kind concern for the struggles we face in our parenting, and offers encouragement and support for whatever season we’re in today.
Enjoy!
