    ·       I have a better idea of how to take brokenness to the cross—rather than attempt to “pray it away.”

    ·       The teaching illustrates how to deepen our relationship with Christ, who transforms us. We cannot transform ourselves.

    ·       It’s healing to speak the truth about the past and to recognize and speak the truth moving forward.

  • “Wendy Redroad is our go-to girl on the topic of forgiveness. She shares a powerful journey that intertwines healing and forgiveness with women who’ve suffered all manner of abuse. She is relatable, compassionate, and biblically-sound in her approach as she takes women by the hand and gently walks them through their own journey of healing and forgiveness.”

    Former Executive Director, Valiant Hearts

  • Five colorful Bible stories adjoined to survivor insight ushers women in crisis into their own stories of hope, healing, and triumph over darkness.

  • “We’ve had the privilege of watching Wendy present her curriculum to our peer support group as well as our safe house residents.

    Her program is presented in a way that the most broken and vulnerable person can relate. The “five desires that arise from abuse, exploitation, and betrayal” are a necessary starting point in helping these women let go of the deep shame they carry. Wendy teaches with a great deal of empathy and compassion.”

    “Freedom from Sexual Exploitation”

  • Explore how Divine Mercy; “God’s love reaching down to meet the needs and overcome the miseries of his creatures,” bridges the perplexing gap between unhealed emotions and the capacity to forgive from the heart.

  • “There is NO Condemnation in Christ. So many times I wasn't able to put my finger on why I was feeling a certain way. Now I am able to pause, breathe and think before just reacting to my circumstances. I am now able to offer some guidance to family members and friends who struggle. I have learned to look at Sacred Scripture differently because Wendy’s class opened my eyes to how scripture truly fits into our daily lives.”

    “Having spoken with Ms. Wendy Redroad about “How to forgive what you will never forget,” we would like to say how impressed we are with her dedication to helping others heal from traumas.

    Ms. Redroad provided us a draft of the curriculum for her program which seems quite comprehensive, organized in its approach to the tenets of the Catholic Church as well as the psychological needs of these individuals.

    Dr. Lieser observed several of the classes and was highly impressed by the professionalism and charity with which Ms. Redroad conducted them.

    The participants were actively engaged and voiced the benefits of her leadership and the sharing of her experiences.In light of this, we both support and highly recommend the continued use of her talents and this program.”
