Chariti lost two of her sons. What she brings to a room is not a talk about hard seasons, it is what she found in one, held together with the grief science and the Scripture that actually stood up under the weight.
Most talks on suffering pick a side. They are either warm and unserious, or rigorous and cold. Chariti’s hold both: the neuroscience of what loss does to a brain and a body, and the goodness of God, in the same room, without either one apologizing for the other.
She is comfortable with a congregation, a staff team, a retreat circle, or a microphone in someone else’s podcast studio. What she will not do is tidy the story up so it lands more smoothly.
Grief given a voice before God is not weak faith. It’s honest faith.
Each topic runs a set length, listed below. Tell us the room and we will shape the material to fit it.
Why lament belongs in the sanctuary, what the brain is actually doing in grief, and how a congregation can stop accidentally rushing its grieving people.
How a painful moment quietly becomes a rule about who you are, the five patterns those lies take, and what it takes to replace one rather than argue with it.
Why “What’s wrong with me?” leads almost exclusively to shame, and what changes in a room when the question changes.
Flooding, the pursuer and withdrawer cycle, and unfinished repair. Practical enough that couples leave with something to do on Tuesday.
Isaiah 61 as an actual process rather than a comfort: healing as the doorway, restoration as the destination, and joy as what grows there.
For pastors, staff teams, and care volunteers. What to say, what to stop saying, and how to hold a room without needing to resolve it.
Chariti requires three months’ notice for in-person speaking engagements. Remote invitations such as podcasts, interviews, and online sessions do not need that lead time.
One message, or a series across several weeks, in person or by video.
A half day, a full day, or a weekend track, with the practices built in rather than bolted on.
Keynote or breakout, with handouts your attendees will actually keep.
Training for the people who get the phone call first.
Remote or in studio. She is an easy guest and a candid one.
The Joy Restored material, taught live for your people rather than sold to them.
Invite Chariti
The more you can say about who will be there and what they are carrying, the better the session will fit. A real person reads every message.
Please send your invitation early. Chariti needs a minimum of 60 days to prayerfully consider it with the Joy Restored team, and three months’ notice is required for in-person speaking engagements. That lead time does not apply to remote invitations such as podcasts, interviews, and online sessions.
Or listen first, the podcast is the fastest way to hear how she handles a hard subject.
