There is hope for you
to walk in freedom.
Hi! I’m Amy Riordan.
I help women walk in freedom as they break free from shame, build deeper intimacy with Jesus, and discover who God created them to be.
I spent many years of my life trying to numb and shove down the pain in my heart. I was wrestling with my sexuality, along with a hidden porn addiction, and I didn’t know how to talk to anyone about it (including God). I tried my best to hide it from everyone.
I felt an incredible amount of shame.
Years later, I started discovering intimacy with Jesus to satisfy the deep longings of my heart. Pursuing a deeper and more transparent relationship with Him was scary and intimidating, but I finally started to realize that He wanted all of me–not just a superficial version of me.
As I have continued to pursue Him and discover who He created me to be, I have experienced layer after layer of healing and freedom in my life in so many ways. I want to see that happen for you, too!

As I gradually learned how to share with jesus what was going on in the depths of my heart and life, shame started to fall off of me. he also started healing my heart, one layer at a time. jesus wants to have this kind of intimacy with you, too. (i know this can be scary at first!)

Cultivating Intimacy with Jesus: Being Still
It can be an incredible challenge to be still. I don’t just mean physically still, but for our souls to be still. It can be an incredible challenge to sit quietly before God when we are used to all of the distractions around us. Even worship music can be considered just noise if it’s used…
Walking Through Dark Tunnels

Waiting with an Expectant Heart
