Episode 107 - Testimony Series - Let Go and Let God

This episode is a part of our December Testimony series. A series of short testimonies of times that God showed up upon set or in ways related to the film-industry.

In this episode, Selah Avery shares about her divine guidance in the film industry. Feeling disheartened by the difficulty finding roles that didn’t require nudity and compromising her values, Selah prayed for meaningful work. She then discovered an opportunity with the Kendrick Brothers and despite lacking an agent, she auditioned, received a callback, and eventually landed the role of Keisha in ‘The Forge’. She recounts the supportive and prayerful environment on set, including a powerful moment when the cast paused filming to pray for her sister in the ER. Selah expresses immense gratitude for this experience, emphasizing God's role in fulfilling her dreams.
