ABOUT NATALIE RUDD

MINISTER. SPEAKER. AUTHOR. SURVIVOR.

First and foremost, Natalie loves Yahshua (Jesus) as her Lord and Savior. A close second is her love for teaching the Word of Yahweh (God) and studying the Bible from a Hebrew understanding of the culture and the language. Her desire is to inspire others to develop a deep and loving intimate relationship with Yahshua to experience the abundant life as promised in the Scriptures.

A graduate of Ashland Theological Seminary, Natalie holds a Master’s degree in Practical Theology and considers it an honor to serve as an Associate Minister at Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio. Since receiving her license to preach the Gospel, Natalie has delivered the Word of Yahweh with power and passion at Sunday Worship services, Women’s Day programs, conferences, and workshops throughout the city, which she gives Yahweh all the glory. She is also a graduate of Hampton University School of Nursing in Hampton, Virginia.

Natalie has an engaging personality, spiritual knowledge, and an attitude of humility and service wherever Yahweh places her. She has helped others to grow closer to Yahweh and in His service through various ministries in her local church and community. She has served as writer of a faith column in the Neighborhood Voice, a local city newspaper, imparting spiritual wisdom to the greater University Circle area and surrounding neighborhoods. Natalie has served on the executive board of Towards Employment, whose mission is to empower individuals to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency through employment. She has recently been appointed as the chaplain for the Women of Color Foundation

Natalie is the proud author of Stormy Weather: Twenty-five Lessons Learned While Weathering the Storms of Life which is her testimony to Yahweh’s faithfulness through adversity. She is the Founder of Because of His Grace Ministries, which seeks to pour the hope of Yahshua into women by providing the tools to cultivate a personal relationship with Christ, through the use of weekly prayer conference calls, online resources, retreats, and in-person monthly gatherings.

Looking back over the peaks and valleys of her life, Natalie’s favorite Scripture passage is Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things Yahweh works for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to his purpose.”
