The only person I can control - the only person who can make sure I’m living an integrated and holy life is me. Relying on God’s grace and ALL his gifts for sure - but no one else can do this for me but me.

[Kelly Rosati @KellyMRosati]

#Beauty 1/ If you’ve never experienced deep & sustained suffering, the kind that makes you wonder how you could possible wake up & keep going, it’s hard to understand how the beauty of God’s creation is a sustaining gift to the soul. God reaches us there when words cannot.

@courtneyellis @broadleaf_books I love this cover!!

I’m honored to be the opening plenary speaker at the North American Association of Christians in Social Work (NACSW) 76th Annual Convention in Glendale, California, this Thursday, November 5.

This year’s theme, “Emboldened: Strengthening Faithful Practice for Tomorrow’s Challenges,” speaks to something I deeply believe: we are called to bring faith, compassion, courage, and hope into the places where people are hurting.

We’ll spend a special evening together as we celebrate the important work of those serving individuals, families, and communities. I’ll be sharing from my heart about mental health, the power of community, and why creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and loved matters so much.

And there’s even more! The APU Gospel Choir will be joining us for a special musical appearance! 🎶

The best part? This evening is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

📅 Thursday, November 5, 2026
⏰ 7:00 p.m.
📍 Hilton Los Angeles North/Glendale – Glendale, California

Whether you're a social worker, student, church leader, mental health advocate, or simply someone who believes in the power of hope, YOU ARE WELCOME!

Come join us for an inspiring evening. I would love to see you there!

💔 “Everyone is carrying around grief and losses...I call them unspoken brokens.” — Ann Voskamp, bestselling author

Behind the smiles are stories untold, wounds unhealed, and prayers we struggle to put into words.

For parents navigating the challenges of mental illness with a child of any age, the grief, heartache, fear, and uncertainty can be especially difficult to express. Whether your child is young or grown, you carry burdens that others don’t see. You don’t have to carry them alone.

Join us for a special conversation with bestselling author Ann Voskamp as we explore the biblical practice of lament—bringing our grief, questions, and brokenness honestly before God.

Because faith isn’t pretending we’re okay. It’s trusting God enough to meet us in our pain.

Come as you are. There is room for your unspoken brokens here.

@KellyMRosati What CA natives SHOULD say is, “It didn’t used to be like this!” Probably doesn’t help🤷‍♀️

[Kay Warren @KayWarren1]

The sleepless nights, the fear you can't say out loud, the pressure to hold it all together—it takes something out of you. And most days, nobody asks how you're handling it.

The Rock Fellowship is for you.

A gathering where, as a dad, you don't have to explain yourself or walk in strength. Just being with dads who already know what it's like.

🗣️ Real talk with fathers carrying the same weight
📖 Tools you can actually use—Scripture-based, research-informed
🤝 Space to ask the questions you don't say out loud anywhere else
🙏 Prayer—for you, not just your child

You've been strong for everyone else. Here, you get to just be a dad among dads who get it—finding strength in Christ, together.

You matter in this story too. Come be reminded of that.

- Find a moment of peace in a heavy week as my team and I pray for you and your children.

You don’t have to carry this alone. 💙

Parenting a child of any age with mental health challenges can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, and overwhelmed. But there is strength in community, and power in prayer.

Join Hope for Brighter Tomorrows for a virtual Prayer & Support Call created specifically for parents on this journey. Together, we’ll share a guided breath prayer, an uplifting devotional, and a space filled with parents who truly get it.

Whether you prefer to sit quietly with your camera off or participate in the chat, you belong here. Come as you are and join us in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

I’m honored to share that I was recently featured by Giselle Fernandez on “California Stories” for Spectrum News 1 SoCal.

In the interview, I share a little about how my own experience with grief became a calling to support families raising children living with mental illness. That calling led to the founding of Hope for Brighter Tomorrows, where we work to remind families that they are not alone in this journey.

The feature also highlights our BREATHE Retreat for moms—a special time to connect, rest, be encouraged, and find community with other moms who understand what it’s like to walk this path.

I hope you’ll take a few moments to watch the story and be encouraged.

And if you’re a mom of a child of any age living with a mental health challenge, I would love to personally invite you to join us for our BREATHE Retreat this October. You don’t have to walk this journey alone. We would love to welcome you.
