2023 is our 10-year anniversary!
Belt of Truth Ministries was founded in 2013 as Scott Ritsema was led by the Lord to lead others to Jesus – not as a career, but as a calling.
Leaving the teaching profession, the Ritsema family began developing an
online + brick-and-mortar community of believers interested in pursuing the present truths for the prophetic times in which we live.
Seminars on media, parenting, true education, overcoming, and various Bible subjects were used by the Holy Spirit to not just inform, but inspire; not just inform, but transform lives!
Addictions overcome. Families restored. Jesus recognized as the Lord and Savior on the throne of each of our hearts.
WHAT ELSE?
Belt of Truth Ministries seminars, most notably, Media on the Brain and the follow-up seminar, The Media Mind: Reclaiming the Human Soul in the Digital Dark Age have been featured on numerous television and radio broadcasts.
As of this writing, we are celebrating our 10-year anniversary! We counted 425 in-person worships and seminars in the past decade, with now a growing online community of like-minded believers and seekers.
And it is all with the help of our listeners who are not just consumers of religious messages, but who 1) pray, 2) share the message, 3) give if the Lord enables and instructs.
ENJOY!
All of our seminars are pretty much free online courses in various practical religious themes. They are listed below in the order they appeared in our developing story…
