Selah Seminary · Formation for Black women called to the prophetic
You were never too much.You were meant to be formed.
Your denomination never taught you the gifts. And the spaces that do teach them rarely make room for a Black woman to grow in the gift as herself. Selah Seminary is where Black female prophets get clarity on what the call means for their faith, body, marriage, and career, alongside women who know what it costs to carry a word.
Sisterhood. No prophet walks alone. You're formed among Black women who carry the same call and can tell you the truth in love.
Stewardship. Your gift, your body, your marriage, your ministry, and your business all belong to God. We form you to steward every one of them, not just your theology.
Sending. You don't go out alone. We walk with you until you're ready, and when you're sent into your assignment, your sisters go with you.
You were raised in church. Nobody taught you this.
Your church taught you to love God, but not what to do when He starts giving you dreams, visions, and prophetic words. So you go looking, and the charismatic rooms that do teach the gifts are mostly white and mostly led by men: you're welcome to sit, but rarely asked to lead. And the few Black women prophets you see on big platforms may not look like the prophet God is making you. So you're left asking: how do I show up as a prophet, and where?
You've been rejected by the church that raised you, misunderstood by family, passed over by the spiritual leaders you trusted, and, quietly, rejected by yourself.
Raised in church but never fed, and guarded after a ministry that told her what to do, Brinisha found sisterhood, and her prophetic dreams came back.
So you go online. You post without covering, accountability, or tools. It doesn't grow, and you start to wonder if you were ever called at all. Hidden.Isolated.Confused.
That cycle ends here.
Selah gives you clarity on what your prophetic identity looks like in every part of your life, and where to begin.
The gift isn't the problem. The system is.
Traditional churches never taught you the gifts. Charismatic churches taught them, but rarely to women who look like you, and rarely with anyone holding the gifted accountable. Then come the headlines: another leader falls, another ministry knew and said nothing. There are wolves because the system is broken, not because the gift is false.
What's missing is the scaffolding. Formation for your emotional, relational, and physical life, not just your theology. Peers who can tell you the truth. A path that protects Black women as we grow, so no one is sent out before she's ready, or sent out alone.
You've been handed two options: stay and submit, or deconstruct and leave. Selah is a third way. Leave what can't hold your call, without leaving God or the call.
Teddi Sturgis, in her words
“Selah answered questions that I've had for over a decade. These were questions that I only asked God.”
After years of feeling stuck and waiting on prophetic words to come to pass, Teddi found the prophetic mentorship and healing that brought clarity to her calling.
A prophetic woman shouldn't have to shrink to be married.
As a single woman, I felt alone in ministry, because I knew God was calling me to do this work with my spouse. Marriage changed that. My husband, Timothy, supports my calling and stands beside me in ministry, and our marriage has given me emotional and spiritual safety. That's part of the message: a covenant where a prophetic woman isn't diminished, but released.
I don't teach from a pedestal. I teach from the path.
I've walked every road Selah offers. I learned to name my gift. I fought for my health. I waited for, and now walk in, a marriage that makes room for my call. I built a business that funds my ministry.
Your founder
I was called to prophesy before anyone taught me what that meant.
I grew up in the My family with an AME bishop.The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church began in Philadelphia, where Richard Allen and other Black Methodists built their own church after white officials pulled them off their knees in prayer. It became one of America’s oldest Black denominations and a home for Black faith, freedom, and dignity.Source: AME Church, “Our History” (opens in a new tab), loving God with almost no language for the gifts of the Spirit. When the dreams and the knowing came, I had nowhere safe to take them. I learned the hard way, through spiritual abuse, burnout, and leading while carrying pain no one could see.
My body carried that season too. I lost 60 pounds, gained it back, and learned that health for a prophet is about far more than discipline.
I'm a Diploma in hand.. I went on to study at the top school in the world for international relations, and I was on track for a six-figure corporate career. All that time, I kept my ministry on the side. I felt the pull between the career in front of me and my calling as a prophet, until God called me to step out fully, into ministry and into building my own business.
I've served as a Leading worship. and, for several years, as a prophet in my local church. I've been in Teaching, mic in hand. and have coached thousands of believers online. As a bilingual, French-speaking prophet who has traveled throughout Paris, and a hilltop in Senegal., I've served women across the diaspora, from the Caribbean to the continent. Today I serve as a prophet in Selah Seminary, which I built so the women coming behind me would be trained, covered, and cared for as they grow into the call.
I built the business side of the call, too. As a coach in both ministry and the marketplace, I've generated nearly half a million dollars in high-ticket coaching and program sales.
A big gift needs strong guardrails.
1
Never alone.
Even prophets get it wrong sometimes. You need sisters close enough to tell you the truth.
2
Growth first.
We give you room to grow, because we love you. Even Jesus grew for 30 years before His ministry began. Growing first doesn't mean you're behind.
3
No lone wolves.
Before we send you out, you get a circle of sisters who stay with you. A leader no one can correct is a leader in danger.
4
No cover-ups.
We tell each other the truth, kindly and directly. We live in a culture of honor: we cover one another, bless one another, and celebrate each other's wins.
One path for your whole life. One step at a time.
You don't have to piece your journey together alone. At Selah you begin with one program, finish it, and it opens the next door, in the right order for the season you're in.
Why “Ascent”? Families once walked up the hill to God's house in Jerusalem, singing Psalms 120–134, the Songs of Ascents. We walk that road with you: from rejection into His presence, one step at a time, never alone.
