Longing for intimacy is a ministry that equips and encourages women who are struggling with pornography, wrestling with their sexuality, and for anyone looking to build deeper intimacy with Jesus.
Amy Riordan is an author, speaker, writer, and licensed pastoral counselor. She speaks nationally on pornography addiction recovery for women, sexuality, overcoming shame, and pursuing intimacy with Jesus. She and her husband, Kevin, live in PA and have two children.
In 2010, Amy started sharing her story on her blog, Longing for Intimacy (formerly known as Walking in Freedom). She started sharing the ways Jesus was healing her heart and setting her free. Jesus has continued to do an amazing work in her life, and she loves seeing Him continue to heal hearts and set other women free.

Whether you are a woman struggling with pornography, issues related to sexuality, or if you have walked a very different path, each of us will find our ultimate fulfillment in an intimate relationship with Jesus. There is nothing better!
I will definitely pray for you, James. Don’t give up the fight! Jesus died for your freedom. Keep your eyes on Him. I would recommend finding someone you know (who is spiritually mature and who you can trust) to confide in and pray with/for you. A great resource that may be helpful for you, is Covenant Eyes.
