Stones or Support? What Ruth Hovsepian's Story Teaches Us

How have people treated you when you've walked through dark times? Have you experienced more throwing of stones or offers of support?

What about when others face difficulties, whether of their own making, someone else's, or a combination? What's your response?

In Part 1 of my interview with Ruth Hovsepian, you'll be

  • challenged to examine your attitudes towards others who are hurting
  • encouraged to choose forgiveness when others fail you
  • inspired to know there is no stronghold God cannot break down

Ruth is a speaker, author, and podcaster who shares her addiction and sobriety journey to help others facing addictions or strongholds.

Ruth went through an acrimonious separation and divorce with three small children; the youngest only five months old. She raised them on her own, struggling to put food on the table, went back to school, got a job in IT, and made her way to the top, only to lose her job and, along with it, her identity. During those 15 dark years, she lived a double life, one as a successful businesswoman and mum and the second as a "party girl.” Looking back at the party years sends shivers down her spine; she lived a dangerous and life-threatening lifestyle.

Ruth is now eight years sober. With sobriety came a new beginning and renewal in her walk with God. She published her first book, 100 Days of Prayer: A Journey Into Deeper Intimacy With GOD, in 2022. Recently released is a new book, The Ultimate Conversation: Is That You, GOD? She shares her life story to help others write their own stories.

Ruth hosts a podcast, "Out of the Darkness," showcasing transformational stories of recovery and healing from traumas and addictions.
