The advice she<br>received was designed for a quick fix. Get over it. Forgive. Forget. Above all, don&#8217;t hurt<br>the ministry. Sadly, women are still receiving the same devastating advice from well-<br>meaning friends, counselors, and church leaders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">When she experienced betrayal again, Mary found that although more resources were<br>available for the traumatized spouse, the number of trained mentors was woefully<br>inadequate. As a result, she founded&nbsp;Ragged to Redeemed, a mentoring ministry<br>devoted to helping women heal from the hurt and trauma of sexual and emotional<br>betrayal.&nbsp; A former pastor&#8217;s wife, Mary understands firsthand the feelings of grief,<br>desperation, and hopelessness. Her passion is to walk with women to hope and<br>healing, particularly those whose husbands are, or have been, in ministry leadership<br>positions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mary is a Bravehearts Certified Professional Mentor and is a member of AWSA<br>(Advanced Writers and Speakers Association). She is the author of &nbsp;three books,<br>including the award winning Bible study&nbsp;Joseph: Beyond the Coat of Many Colors. She<br>has written articles for Focus on the Family, Voice of Truth&nbsp; (Women World Leaders),<br>and other publications. She is a retreat and special events speaker and is available to<br>come to your church or special event.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Englund Murphy ragged2023@gmail.com https:\/\/www.raggedtoredeemed.com BIO: Mary first experienced betrayal in the early years of her marriage.
