Carrie Sheffield is a senior policy analyst with the Independent Women's Forum, a listed speaker with Premier, a frequent media guest and pundit for national television and radio, an author, a journalist and so much more. But she's also a person was raised in poverty, by a Mormon father who prophesied her doom, with a schizophrenic brother who tried to rape her, and under circumstances that at times were so dire and desperate, it's a wonder she could function in today's world, never mind grow to hold such influence. SO how'd she do it? In a word: God. Her story is one of inspiration because it shows how faith in God can lead Him to do great things in a life that the world would see as throw-away material. The takeaway is that if God does that for her, He certainly does this for all His children. Politics and culture are important, but the real and crucial issue is finding faith, and holding on to faith, in a world that's more evil than good.
