Mentoring Ministry
Walking with women to hope and healing.
Ragged to Redeemed
Why a mentor?
A mentor is not the same as a counselor or therapist, although many people find real help and healing through counseling and therapy, particularly with one who has been trained in sexual addiction and betrayal trauma.
A mentor is someone who has personally experienced a story similar to yours. They understand the unique pain brought on by marital betrayal because they have walked in your shoes. They understand the trauma inflicted through the shock of disclosure, and the subsequent guilt and shame brought on by infidelity.
Perhaps you've been told things like: it was just porn, it was only an emotional affair, it only happened once, you don't need to know everything, you need to forgive and forget, just get a divorce, or you really need to get over it. Those kinds of statements are never helpful and retraumatize the betrayed partner. A mentor understands because they've been there.
We offer a free 45 minute phone call to answer your questions and see if mentoring is right for you.
'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'
Jeremiah 29:11
Is there hope?
Yes, yes, yes!
While we desire that marriages are restored, we also recognize that is not always possible. Therefore, our focus is on you, the betrayed partner, and your healing. Ragged to Redeemed is a safe place for you to cry, to share, and most of all, to heal your wounds and thrive. We want to help you take the next step on your journey to finding your purpose as you become the woman God intended you to be. Whatever the outcome in your story, we want to help you move forward and experience the healing we know is possible.
The trauma and pain of betrayal is like none other. It has been likened to being run over by a truck, having your body scraped off the pavement, and once at the emergency room, left on a gurney in the hall to bleed out . . . forever.
We get it. We've been there.
We understand the sleepless nights and the images swhirling through your mind that you want to stop, but can't. We know the questions that seem to have no answer. What did I do wrong? How could this happen to me? How will I survive financially? What do I do about my children? Will I ever feel safe again? Is there anyone I can trust? Has God abandoned me? I should have known; how could I be so stupid? And, perhaps worst of all . . . why wasn’t I enough?
Ragged to Redeemed is a faith-based mentoring ministry designed to help you, the betrayed partner, on your healing journey. You may feel like no one is listening, but we hear your cries for help; your cries of pain. We are listening. You have a voice, and we want to help you use it.
