Walking in Freedom with Amy Riordan

Join me today for this last discussion of my book, "All of You". I saved this chapter in my book for last on purpose. Learning how to dwell in the secret place is so important and something that comes with practice and time. This is something we can do no matter what season of life we are in. There is such a place of intimacy with Jesus here that I want to share with you today. You can f...

When I surrendered my heart and desires to Jesus, I went through a deep time of grieving. At the time, I didn’t know if grieving was something I should even do because much of it was surrounding what God didn’t want for me. This is when I started learning about the Holy Spirit being my Comforter. As I started embracing this, I realized He wanted me to take this grief to Him. He wasn’t angry with m...

Have you surrendered your heart's desires, temptations, and fantasies to Jesus? This once sounded very daunting to me but now feels more like an invitation. This is what I am sharing today as I talk about Chapter 18 of my book, "All of You".You can find "All of You" on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0dhOqNZa

Right now, each of us is being sustained by something or someone. We continue to tell ourselves if we just had more of _____ or have a better connection with ____, it would finally sustain us. It might even seem to work for a period of time. What often happens, though, is it ultimately leaves us feeling empty. Who or what are you turning to for sustenance?

For years, I was afraid that I ruined my brain with everything I had looked at and continually thought about. This is a very common fear with the women I talk to. You see, our brains get used to going down the same path. It directs itself along the path it has so easily been taking for so long. It's a well-traveled path, so taking a different route creates resistance. The good news is, with Go...

Overcoming sexual strongholds is more than a physical battle. There's also a spiritual battle to be aware of that we can be equipped for. Join me as I talk about this on today's episode, based on Chapter 15 of my book, "All of You".

Do you have any toxic or unhealthy connections in your life? Today I talk about recognizing these kinds of relationships and how to break free from them.

What comes to mind when you hear the word "desire"? Desires can show up in many different ways in our lives. We can try to squelch them, but then they can pop back up again somewhere else. For years I saw many of my desires as "bad" and something I needed to numb, ignore, or somehow squelch. That didn't work (at all). I don't think that works for most of us. Could your...

Porn is created to cause a response in everyone that views it. When it starts to affect someone's attractions, it can cause a lot of fear, shame, and confusion. If this is something that has affected you, you are not alone. Related video: When Fear is Attached to Temptation

I had been trying to get my life together before I attempted to have a deeper connection with Jesus, but that wasn't working at all. Then something quite the opposite happened. As I gradually learned how to share with Him what was going on in the depths of my heart and life, (before I got my life together) I slowly started realizing it was ok to do this. The shame I felt started disappearing a...

If you were within walking distance of a place you wanted to visit, it would be very challenging to get there if you didn't know which direction to go, what street it was on, or what landmarks to look for nearby. This is how it can feel to want healing from sexual strongholds, if we don't know how to get there or even what it can look like. Join me as I discuss this today in Chapter 10 of...

For years I thought I just needed to work harder to shove down the pain in my heart. That seemingly worked for several years...until I had my first baby and everything came flooding up to the surface. Learning that Jesus could heal my heart was scary for me at first, but I started to learn just how much He could heal those very same places that I wasn't sure could ever be healed. 👉 All of You...

Join me as I talk about the how to reach out for help when you are a woman wrestling with sexual strongholds. This is such an important aspect to beginning the healing process, but it can be so scary and intimidating to reach out for help. In this episode, I read from Chapter 6 in my book, "All of You" about the importance of reaching out for help, who to reach out to, and how to do that...

Shame is something that has affected the majority of the women I have coached and ministered to over the years, and it is something that greatly affected my life for so many years, as well. And guess what? It affected my life for many years before I even recognized it. It was just there. This turned into a way of thinking and seeing myself for as long as I could remember, so I didn’t see it. As Je...

Forgiving others is something God requires of us. But what does it really mean to forgive someone? I think we can sometimes have resistance towards forgiveness due to a misunderstanding of what it actually means to forgive.  Join me today as I talk about the importance of forgiveness, what is actually is (and isn't) and how to be released from its heavy weight.

There are seasons in our lives when we feel absolutely barren. We can go through times when we feel completely stripped of everything that means something to us. Are you in a time like this right now?
