When the Fire Meets Grace
When the Fire Meets Grace
Selah Ortiz thought her calling as a Fire/EMS Chaplain would be about comforting first responders in their moments of crisis. She never expected her very first day at the firehouse to change her life forever.
When Augustine "Cody" McWhorter—a twenty-year-old volunteer with cerebral palsy—suffers a seizure in the middle of the station, Selah is the only one who can reach him. What begins as compassion quickly becomes connection, as Selah learns that Cody has spent his life on the margins—rejected by programs, living in a nursing home, and overlooked by the world. Yet at the firehouse, and in his writing, he has found purpose.
As Selah and Cody grow closer, she discovers the quiet strength behind his struggles, and he begins to see God not as distant, but as loving and near. Together, they navigate doubt, judgment, and the weight of rejection, finding laughter in simple joys—like ribs, cornbread, and collard greens—and intimacy in prayer and promise.
When love begins to spark between them, Selah must choose: will she risk her reputation to fight for the man the world says she shouldn't love? Or will she believe what God has been whispering all along—that His power is made perfect in weakness, and that this love was written by His hand?
A story of fire and grace, of belonging and redemption, of two souls refined by trials and united by God's love.
