Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughter Lola Sheen is opening up about her spiritual journey.
Lola, 19, revealed Wednesday, January 22, that she recently got baptized after turning to Christ amid a difficult period in her life.
“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,” Lola captioned a series of photos of her baptism via Instagram.
“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,” she continued. “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.”
Lola went on to detail her recent health struggles, including “battling severe anxiety,” and said turning to religion helped her find “peace.”
“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,” she wrote.
Lola added, “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,” she concluded.
Lola is the youngest of Sheen and Richards’ two daughters. She has an older sister, Sami, 20.
In December, Richards, 53, shared details of her new reality show featuring her daughters — Sami, Lola and adopted daughter Eloise, 13 — and her husband, Aaron Phypers.
“It’s a big glimpse into our family,” Richards told Us Weekly exclusively about her new show, Denise Richards and the Wild Things. “We’re finishing up everything. I’m excited, but I’m also like, ‘Oh my gosh, everyone’s gonna see my family.’”

Richards added that fans shouldn’t expect the new series to be similar to Denise Richards: It’s Complicated, which ran from 2008 to 2009 and when her kids were much younger. Even though Eloise wasn’t born yet when the show originally aired, Richards said she was the “easiest one to film” this time around.
“I’m not perfect and they will see I make mistakes,” Richards continued. “Our family is not perfect by any means, but hopefully they can relate to some things that our family goes through too.”
