Selah Ruach was born from something deeply personal- my own journey from simply knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him.

For many years, I knew the stories. I knew the traditions. I knew the name of Jesus and understood Him through what had been taught to me. Yet, in many ways, Jesus felt more like a symbol of my faith- Someone from long ago whom I believed in, but had not yet learned to experience as fully present and alive in my life.

Then my life hit a low, my life as I knew had been destroyed by my own desires and will.

Through the gentle guidance of a friend and learning to put my life back in Jesus’s hands, I found the Holy Spirit. My faith moved from knowledge into relationship. Jesus was no longer someone I read about in scripture, I began to hear His voice and recognize His presence!! He spoke truth into my healing, my unforgiveness, and the shame I carried. Forgiveness became His freedom for me.

I discovered He still heals, restores, comforts, and seeks to set hearts free. I pray Selah Ruach will be a place of encounter for you also. A place where burdens are laid down, forgiveness is found, shame loses its voice, relationships are strengthened and hearts are restored in Him.

This is the heart of Selah Ruach.
