Such a Time as This

This week, hosts Pascal and Alyssa sit down with Roseanna Gonzalez — administrator, teacher, minister, life coach, and hospice chaplain — whose path to this moment ran straight through the hardest chapters a person can carry. Out of them came Kingdom Grace Academy.

Roseanna doesn’t flinch from her story: a childhood marked by trauma, a season lost to depression and survived suicide attempts, and the hospital moment of clarity that turned into a ministry called It’s a Beautiful Life. What the enemy meant to end, God repurposed into a life spent helping others see the beauty in their own.

That same thread leads to Kingdom Grace Academy — a pre-K through 12th grade, Christ-centered school twelve years in the making. Built on discipleship and servant leadership, KGA opens with three intimate classrooms of up to ten students each, designed to serve kids the traditional system too often leaves behind: children with special needs, those from foster care, and families looking for a place to belong. Roseanna shares how the location, the certifications, the partnership with United Christian Fellowship — the pieces she spent over a decade waiting on — finally arrived together. Not early. Not late. For such a time as this.

A conversation about obedience, timing, and the God who was building the whole time you couldn’t see the plan.

Kingdom Grace Academy is now in open enrollment and looking for volunteers and supporters. Reach out to Roseanna to learn how to be part of it.

In this episode of Made for Christ, Alyssa sits down with Kelsey and her mom, Kallie. They tell both sides of one redemption story—heroin, jail, five years of silence, and the long road home through Gospel Rescue Mission. An honest conversation about waiting on God’s perfect timing.

Joy shares her powerful journey as a pastor’s kid wrestling with anger. In this raw and honest conversation, she opens up about family healing, Potter’s Wheel, and the life-changing moment she heard God call her by name.
