Ruth Hovsepian – Christian Speaker, Author, and Podcast Host

The most important thing about me? I’m alive and FREED because Jesus gave His life for me—and that changes everything. I’m a Christian speaker and author who loves helping women find the same peace, joy, and hope in Him.

I love Jesus because He is faithful, kind, and endlessly redeeming. He gave me a new start, and now I help others find the same peace, joy, and hope.

What I Do

I’m a Christian speaker, writer, and podcast host helping people break free from sexual shame and grow in everyday faith with practical tips and tools. Real talk. Real hope. Real change.

Family

I’ve been a single mom for 28+ years, and I’m the proud mother of three amazing adult kids. I’m also a "néné" to a precious angel in heaven and one precious little boy here on earth.

My Story

Addiction is hard—especially when you fight it in secret. I’ve walked through divorce, single parenting, and seasons of alcohol and sexual addiction… By God’s redeeming grace and the prayers of my family, I found healing and freedom. Today, I share my story as a Christian speaker and author so you’ll know it’s never too late for a new chapter with Jesus.

Hi, I’m Ruth.
