In today’s episode of Women Around the Well, I’m sitting down with the incredible Shellie Kemp—a woman who never planned to be a pastor, but ohhh friend, God had bigger, bolder, and more beautiful plans!
Shellie’s story is raw and real. Raised in the middle of dysfunction, addiction, and chaos, she became a master at people-pleasing and overachieving—all while burying her own pain. But when she hit rock bottom, Jesus showed up in the most powerful way. Her life was turned upside down (in the best way), and now she walks with others into freedom, healing, and restoration as the Freedom & Care Pastor at Christ Fellowship.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ The masks we wear to survive
✨ Hitting rock bottom—and finding Jesus there
✨ Healing from co-dependency and performance-based living
✨ Why you are never too broken for God
✨ How surrender always leads to victory (even if it doesn’t look like you thought it would!)
Shellie reminds us that healing isn’t always neat or linear—but it’s always worth it. And her life? It’s proof that God can take the most shattered stories and turn them into something stunning.
📖 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5
🌊 Grab your coffee (or meet us at the beach in your heart) and tune in. This one is filled with truth, hope, and holy goosebumps.
