Walking in Freedom with Amy Riordan

As a follow-up to my last episode, I wanted to talk about reaching out for help a little bit more. This is such an important aspect to beginning the healing process, but it can be so scary and intimidating at the same time. In this episode, I read from a chapter in my book, " All of You " about the importance of reaching out for help, who to reach out to, and how to do that. Amy's we...

Are you a woman struggling with pornography? You are not alone.  This is part of my story and a topic that is still not talked about as often as it needs to be. There are so many women who struggle with this, which is one of the reasons I keep sharing it. If this is something you are struggling with, you are not alone. There is incredible hope for you concerning healing and freedom.  Maybe you fee...

Today I want to present to you another way to think about desires.  What comes to mind when you read the word “desire”? Do you believe your desires are something good to have, or are they something you need to restrain, ignore, or squelch? Could your desires be telling you something different than you think?  Related article Connect with Amy: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Walking in Freedom Ministries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   Are you...

Are you in a season of waiting? Times like this can be frustrating, challenging, and even scary - especially when we don't know when the waiting will finally be over. Join me as I share some thoughts and encouragement for you if you are in a place like this today.

There can be many reasons why we can be hesitant to be still before Him. Sometimes we can be hesitant due to thoughts or feelings that might come to the surface when everything is silent. What do we do if that happens? Join me as I talk about all of this today, giving an example of how I just recently did this in my own life.

Have you ever felt like something in your heart or life suddenly has a bullseye on it, and you wonder where all the chaos inside of you came from? Sometimes it may seem like an attack of the enemy (sometimes it is) but sometimes it is the Holy Spirit revealing something in your heart that He wants you to see. As a result, there now seems to be a bullseye or huge spotlight on it. He doesn’t show us...

How easy is it for you to talk to God about your temptations? ( I’m talking about those temptations and struggles you face that you hesitate telling other people about, let alone God. ) We know that God is already aware of our struggles, but many of us still often have great difficulty specifically talking to Him about them. I know that this has most definitely been an area of my life that I have...

This week’s podcast episode is about embracing our God-given characteristics that can often get left behind as we grow up. What did you enjoy when you were a kid? What did you value or put extra time into? Were you a natural leader? Compassionate or empathetic? A nurturer? A good listener? Maybe you were naturally business minded? These can all be indicators of some of the giftings and strengths t...

Do you deal with shame or unworthiness due to your past? In this week's podcast episode, I talk about the shame and feelings of unworthiness I carried around with me, even years after breaking free from a pornography addiction. I also talk about a weekend that was a huge turning point for me. I look forward to sharing it with you! I’m praying that the Lord uses this to speak to you in the way...

We can come to several different intersections in our lives where we begin to ask ourselves, "Who am I?" and "Am I doing what God has called me to do?".  These can be difficult questions to ponder sometimes, and they can also be questions filled with frustration, fear, and uncertainty.  Join me today as I share how we can walk through these kinds of seasons in our lives with jo...

Have you felt buried under the weight of discouragement lately? Join me today as I candidly talk about a recent situation in my life where I unexpectedly felt under the weight of extreme discouragement (and how I finally found my way out of it).

When we try to overcome something, break free from a bad habit, addiction, or something else we want to change, we can often put most of our focus on what we’re wanting to change. It can be incredibly frustrating to do everything we know but still be stuck. What if you discovered that the object of your focus may actually be holding you back and making you feel even more stuck? Join me as I share...

In this first episode I talk about why I never thought I'd be able to share my story with anyone (*hint: shame) and why I have such a passion to see other women walk in freedom as a result.
