Riley Sloan Powell – Let’s un-Do This!

Junk to Jewels Podcast with Georgette Beck

Riley Sloan Powell is a speaker and bestselling author as well as a wife and mother to three amazing

children, ages 2-17. Through a pivotal journey back through her story, she changed the

narrative of her life to become rooted in the truth that God loves her deeply. Now she uses

all she has learned to lead others in finding their identity, without performance,

perfection, or exhaustion, and to learn how to hear God's voice in their own lives.

Riley and Georgette discuss what it means to seek God and find Him in ones own life. God chases after us to give us truth. He tells us to seek Him but that feels mysterious. How can we find Him? How does He sound? What are we even looking for? Riley believes knowing His voice awakens our lives to true living. We spend to much time in automatic movement s, meeting expectations, but what happens when we receive the love of God and live in response?

Riley’s book, Let’s un-Do This, is her story of marrying young which led to a young divorce, then getting pregnant out of wedlock, all as a Christian who loved Jesus. Riley put on her happy face and did her best to be happy and live the best life she could after that until God invited her to healing and showing her His love for her.

After years of wishing she could be perfect, but really loathing her story and hiding deep in shame, Riley took a trip through her past, allowing God space to rewrite the narrative of her heart, with true identity, clothed in love.

This is a story of realizing it is not too late to be who you long to be.

It is a story of a great big God leaning in close to whisper in a voice only she could hear to remind her who she is. By discovering His voice for her, she could see where He had chased after her to give her truth. She used the technique of writing her story to discover how God had been in every detail, covering and pursuing to give life. She found Him in all kinds of places, from in the embrace of her brother in an armchair, to in her car while zooming down the interstate!

This memoir extends a personal invitation to the reader to breathe deeply and believe that God is FOR YOU. This isn’t a process of digging up the past and it’s not even about stepping into purpose. This is about making space for the MORE God is offering in this moment.

Are you full of exhaustion and so tired of trying to keep up?

Do you even know what you want? When was the last time you were asked?

Can you find room for one more thing, much less family devotions or being creative?

Are you playing small, hidden in regrets?

This book will fill your life with renewed energy and passion for living. Through personal story and hilarious wit, Riley invites us all on a journey of checking our beliefs and making space to be reintroduced to the Father, so that we can boldly live lives from a place of confident rest. When we find Him in our story we can see that we are deeply known by God and liked by God.

When your identity in Him feels easy, the rest flows in grace.
