Faith, Family & Fierceness with Mally Roncal: Raising LGBTQ+ Kids, Hearing God’s Voice, and Finding Joy in the Chaos

StRest with Kerstin Lindquist

This is StRest! Meet Mally Roncal—celebrity makeup artist, “positivity preacher,” and devoted Christian mom raising three teenage girls (one proudly in the LGBTQ+ community). In this episode, host Kerstin Lindquist and Mally dive into the hard-won lessons behind joyful living: surrendering control to God, finding pockets of happy in grief, pushing back on toxic church culture, and loving your children—exactly as God created them. From alopecia as a divine wake-up call to navigating internet hate, this is an honest blueprint for anyone who wants to feel every feeling, drop the judgment, and chase joy on purpose.

Major Themes & Concepts

✅ Faith first—surrender replaces self-reliance

✅ Parenting LGBTQ+ kids within Christian doctrine

✅ Toxic positivity vs. deliberate joy after pain

✅ Internet hate: block, bless, and move on

✅ Anger at God is honest—and can deepen trust

✅ “Healthy is the new young”: aging with energy over vanity

✅ Micro-moments of gratitude (ice-cream hugs, lisped “Sophie”)

✅ Novena prayer, sleep, and 80/20 nutrition as stress anchors

✅ God uses discomfort to realign purpose
