Called to Heal, Sent to Serve

“I know what it is to be broken—and I know what it is to be made whole again by the love of Jesus.”

My name is JoDenise Bradley-Crawford, and I am the founder of Ragtyme 7 International Ministry. My journey into this calling did not begin in a classroom or behind a podium; it began in the quiet, tender places where God met me in my own pain and began to heal what I thought was beyond repair.

For years, I walked through seasons of heartbreak, uncertainty, and spiritual weariness. I questioned my worth, my purpose, and whether restoration was truly possible. But God, in His mercy, surrounded me with mentors, scripture, and a community of faith that refused to let me stay stuck in despair. Slowly—and then all at once—I began to believe that my story was not finished.

That belief became a calling. I pursued training in counseling and coaching, not simply to build a career, but to become a vessel of the same compassion I had received. Today, I have 40 years of recovery and the honor of walking alongside women, couples, and families who are navigating trauma, marriage struggles, addiction recovery, life transitions, and the deep longing to reconnect with God.

A Ministry Built on Purpose

Ragtyme 7 International Ministry was born from a simple conviction: no one is too broken for God to redeem, and no story is too messy to be rewritten. Every session, every resource, and every event we offer is rooted in the truth that healing is possible when faith and practical care come together.

Whether I am counseling a woman through grief, coaching a couple toward restoration, or speaking to a room full of people hungry for hope, my mission remains the same—to point others to the One who transforms hearts from the inside out.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
