Ruth Erickson - Author

As I shared with the women recovering from infidelity in our private group, the holidays can come with extra triggers, memories, and family dynamics. Not everyone can understand why such a happy season can feel heavy, but you’re not alone!

Gratitude can live right next to grief.

Pain can be wrapped up in praise.

Thanks can be found among the thorns.

It’s ok to bring your FULL self into this season. Praying you find safe spaces & people to hold space with you for all that you carry in your heart.

One year! 🎉🥰 It has been quite a journey launching (Un)Faithful. Thank you to all of you who have purchased the book, shared my content, and supported my ministry. Hundreds of women have received the hope of healing because of your support and the FAITHFULNESS of our God. What a humble privilege to continue to share His love & healing with His daughters.

Would you do me a favor? Please share my profile with a woman who needs encouragement and community after suffering from infidelity trauma. We all know someone, sadly….let’s make sure none of these sisters are struggling alone. ❤️‍🩹

“…that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Sharing suffering with Jesus is an opportunity to become more like Him. As we die to ourselves through the death of a marriage, or the agony of recovery, knowing Him deeply and trusting Him is the reward that leads us to new life. Jesus changes everything. ————————— (Un)Faithful is a book for every woman recovering from infidelity - whether the marriage survives or not.

I’m so humbled to serve and love a God who not only transforms our pain into purpose and heals our wounds, but who actually enters in and inhabits suffering with us.

This quote from my book, (Un)Faithful: Finding Healing After Your Husband's Affair (Whether Your Marriage Survives Or Not), is from Chapter 10: Forgiveness - Finding Freedom In Release:

“Forgiveness is faith that the blood of Jesus is sufficient to cover every sin, even the ones that are committed against you. Forgiveness acknowledges the enormity of the hurt, the full depravity of the sin, and boldly confesses that Jesus’ blood is enough to cover even this.”

This is why I am here. If you are walking through the fire of infidelity, you are not alone! What an honor that God would use our scars to testify hope & healing.

My book is not about my own wisdom or ideas. The only reason it carries any power is because it is anchored in and relays the truth found in Scripture.

This quote from my book, (Un)Faithful: Finding Healing After Your Husband's Affair (Whether Your Marriage Survives Or Not), is from Chapter 11: Grief - Being Present In The Process:

“There are truths we cannot know until we are scraped to our rawest, most riveted parts. There are beauties we cannot see until our eyes are filled with tears. There are depths of love we cannot know until our hearts have been broken and resurrections we
cannot witness until the dying comes.”

Faithfulness to the Word of God is my absolute top priority as a writer, coach, and speaker. Any idea that is rooted outside of Scripture will fall short and fail us.

My perspective is limited, and I am forever a student of the Bible, always learning. I humbly offer what I have found, and I am beyond blessed that the truths that have held and changed me would touch my sisters walking through the fire of infidelity through my words.

God’s perspective on marriage, divorce, and infidelity should be our compass as we walk out our individual stories. 🤎

From my book, (Un)Faithful, Chapter 3 - Suffering: Nearness to God:

“You mean God expects us to do the right thing, and obey Him, even though these other people are clearly in the wrong?

Yes, beloved. That is what God expects. Not because He wants to burden you, but because He longs to protect you. The safest place for you is in the middle of His way, on the path He sets out in His Word.

He is faithful, and there will be a revelation of His glory that will cause you great joy and celebration. But you must stay close to Him to see it.”

I’ve been humbled to hear of how my book, although written to and for the hearts of women healing from infidelity trauma, has impacted friends, family and leaders who may not have personally walked through that fire. It blesses me to know that there are men and women willing to equip themselves for the sake of others.

If that’s you, and you’re a friend or family member of a woman walking through infidelity recovery, I made a free resource just for YOU! Please find my 5 Tips For Supporting a Victim of an Affair - link in comments. I pray it’s helpful for you!

Ministering is such an honor. Ministering with one of my best friends is even BETTER. I love you infinity, Lindsey.

I brought the sword and she brought the salve and much healing came through God’s Spirit.

The women we met last weekend blessed me and we all encountered the presence and love of Jesus together. We never leave the same. 🤎

Honored and humbled by these words, and grateful that God would repurpose my hurt into hope for another woman. It’s HIS work and HIS story for HIS glory. 🙏🏻

This quote from my book, (Un)Faithful: Finding Healing After Your Husband's Affair (Whether Your Marriage Survives Or Not), is from Chapter 12: Healing - Being Held By Jesus:

“It is important to realize that you can heal well and still bear scars. Even Jesus, in His perfected, resurrection body, has scars that tell His story. There is something beautiful and profound about that. God Himself wears scars. So do not be ashamed of yours. There is no going back to our original form. For me, the love and loss and healing were worth the marks, and I do not hide them. There is power in the testimony of what we have survived.”

Thankful for the words of my readers, and for each woman this book is reaching. I am humbled and amazed, knowing that hundreds of fire-sisters are being led to Jesus and God’s Word through these pages. My story is a revealing of HIS faithfulness, which stretches beyond our ability to measure.

These reviews of my book, (Un)Faithful are so meaningful and humbling. I told the Lord if this manuscript blessed one woman, it was worth all of the effort.

He answered my prayers, often through the friends and families of victims. Many of them are getting the book for a loved one who is suffering, or reading it themselves to become more equipped.

My heart is that this book finds hundreds, and even thousands of the “one”. Each of His daughters deserves hope & healing. 🤎

A quote from Chapter 11 - Grief: Being Present in the Process:

“I never knew God as my strong tower, my refuge, until I needed a place to hide. I never knew God as my rescuer, my deliverer, until I was placed in a terrible battle. I never knew God as my healer until I was deeply wounded. He is my comforter, my redeemer, my rock, the lifter of my head—and my grief was the painful pathway to meeting these beautiful parts of Him.”

From Chapter 10 - Forgiveness: Finding Healing In Release

“Forgiveness is faith that the justice of God is sufficient. It admits that God doesn’t need our help in assigning judgement. We have nothing to add to His perfect justice. Forgiveness is a declaration of trust that God will handle what we cannot. We long for justice, and can trust that God will make everything right in every way. Forgiveness requires that we surrender that process to the One who is worthy, trusting that His timing and His decisions regarding justice are better than ours, and beyond our ability to understand.”

Grateful for the hope-filled words of this powerhouse woman of God! Marty Meyer is a carrier of truth and freedom, and her story has unlocked hope for so many women. What an honor to receive an endorsement for my book from her.

Marty, thank you for pursuing the Lord and becoming a firebrand for His kingdom and purposes. You are a leader who pioneers and carries the ROAR of the Lion of Judah in you as you proclaim good news!

I have been deeply impacted by the words, ministry, and beauty of Raydeane Owens. As an author and a woman in leadership, she has inspired, activated and blessed me deeply. She embodies truth & grace, and the love of Jesus flows out of her life.

Thank you, Raydeane, for your encouragement, support, and for modeling the gospel with your life. Heaven meets earth when you are in the room!

(Please check out her amazing books on Amazon!)

I’m honored by the words and support of my friend Matthias Barker. As a deeply wise, influential, innovative and thoughtful psychotherapist, I admire his professional work and have benefited from his incredible content. But I will tell you, the most impactful thing about Matthias in my friendship with him was his clear respect, intention and humility regarding his beautiful wife, Paige, during a time when my hope about marriage was low. He may not even remember that conversation in Couer Coffee almost a decade ago, but it just goes to show you that small things can leave significant deposits in the people around us.

Thank you, Matthias, for all of your important work surrounding trauma, mental health, and motivation, and for modeling relational health and humility as a friend, husband & father. I can’t wait to see what God continues to do with the influence He has trusted you with! (And thank you, Paige, for the best hair treatment I’ve ever experienced. 🙌🏻)

I encourage you to check out Matthias’ content -

This is so true! Your boundaries (whether in the traumatizing relationship or elsewhere) will make space for your healing & strengthening and become a SOURCE for more love. 🤎

So excited to be in the LA area at next week! If you’re in the area, please join us! I’ll be leading in worship & a word. Can’t wait to see how God ministers to His daughters. 🤎

The words of my pastor, Jeff Ecklund carry heavy weight in my life. It is my honor to serve under a man of integrity, wisdom, steadfast love, vision, and great grace. I am forever grateful for his shepherding, the investment of sound doctrine and application of the word of God, and the spiritual covering that he has offered to me and my family for almost a decade.

I am also deeply grateful for his support of this book and ministry journey. He has allowed me space and flexibility to write & pursue the call of God on my life, given discerning feedback, prayed over me, and has invested in my marriage and kids during this important season. (He’s also a great hunting buddy!)

Jeff, I honor you as MY pastor and thank you for your investment into my life. I pray the fruit blesses you and our church for years to come!

From my book (Un)Faithful, Chapter 12: Healing:

I had given my husband my whole heart, and when he rejected it, tossing it aside on the ground, I realized that I had a choice to pick it back up or leave it there. Who else would care for it if not me?

I prayed and hoped and longed for him to want it back, to start afresh, to help me heal it. But when he chose to forsake it forever, I was determined to care for it well.

I lost him. I lost us. But I did not lose myself.

So blessed by Kari Jennings’ words about (Un)Faithful. Kari and her wonderful husband Brian pastor Breakthrough church, an amazing body of believers that I deeply love!

Kari models servant leadership so beautifully, and is one of the most humble, encouraging and powerful women I’ve ever had the honor of ministering with. She carries the heart of God into every setting and life pours out of her. Thank you, Kari, for your endorsement, support & for being a role model for me in the Kingdom!
