To all those who voted, and to all who are doing their best to brave the world and church to break down barriers and enlighten those we love to understand mental illness in the context of Christianity,

thank you.

You are doing great work for the kingdom, to help the church recognize and know better how to live with and love those with mental health conditions. I thank God for you.

Stay bold, brave, and real,

Katie
