Hi, I’m Ruth.

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.

Ruth Hovsepian’s Story: From Addiction to Freedom in Christ

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.
