"Let us then, make it our aim, to work for peace
and to edify one another” (Romans 14: 19.)

Mission EDIFY artfully specializes in biblically principled classes that are trauma-informed in approach, practical in application, and sensitive to religious wounding.

What uniquely qualifies Wendy Redroad for this mission?

1. Adverse Childhood Experiences including domestic violence, child sexual abuse, alcoholism, etc.

2. Betrayal trauma due to a spouses disordered affection for all things pleasurable.

3. Religious wounding that resulted in a refusal to speak the name Jesus for over twenty years. (God understood why.)

4. *Solid psychological counseling that spans two decades—including multiple firings of educated counselors whom she deemed clueless.

5. First-hand knowledge of navigating the behavioral challenges of an adult child with a chronic mental health condition.
   (We laugh. We cry. We love.)

6. Content writing and field work in trauma-informed ministry since 2010.

7. The artistic sensibility and ease she brings to stigmatized topics.

8. A heart gratefully indebted to Jesus Christ, who loved her even when she would not (could not) speak his name.

9. All work is vetted by professionals in psychology, theology; and consistent with the tenets of her faith.

In short, Wendy brings a deep understanding to the complexities of healing, forgiveness, and mental health ministries. To learn more about implementing a grassroots mental health ministry in your faith community, connect with Wendy today.

In my deepest wound I saw your glory, and it dazzled me.

—St. Augustine of Hippo
