About

Diane Riddle is a graduate of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL. with a B.S. in Marketing and a minor in Psychology. Diane also holds a M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Moody Bible Institute (now known as Moody Theological Seminary) in Chicago, IL. Diane has been a licensed and ordained pastor associated with the Church of God in Cleveland, TN. She currently holds a ministerial license with Grow Church in Naples, FL.

Although Diane has spent many years in the corporate world working in various business related jobs she has always been involved in Christian ministry since she was a teenager. She has served in many lay leader positions through the years as well as on staff from 2016-2018 as a treasurer and associate pastor at a church in Illinois after retiring from the corporate world in 2015.

Since Diane retired from corporate life,  she has been blessed to be involved in ministry full time and is currently serving in her church in pastoral care. However, her overarching heart and passion is to help others find freedom from past traumas, hurts and lies and to walk in their God given identity and authority as they carry out God’s calling on their lives. Diane’s life verse is John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

Diane has been trained and holds certificates from various Christian healing and freedom ministries. This includes certificates from: Vision Life Ministries (VLM) in Lewisville, TX;  certificates for course 201 (Heart Healing Essentials) and course 202 (Advanced Heart Healing) from Elijah House Ministries in Rathdrum, ID; Level 1-4 in the School of Healing Prayer from Christian Healing Ministries in Jacksonville, FL. She also is an issue focused and through format minister with Restoring the Foundations located in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. This program involved 3 years of training which included 1700 hours of practicum and certification. In addition, she has received certifications from the American Association of Christian Counselors as a Professional Mental Health Coach and Trauma-Informed Care Coach.

Diane’s past and current experience in pastoral care enables her to provide a safe environment where people can share their struggles and pain openly without fear of judgment and with the assurance that their story is being heard in a compassionate and honored way. This sets the table in such a way that the Lord has free reign to minister at a deep level to reveal lies and uproot them and replace them with His truth.

Diane’s personal experience and understanding of family dysfunction, codependency, addictions, depression, suicide and toxic relationships including narcissistic personality disorder gives her a deeper understanding towards others who are also dealing with these specific issues.

Addressing our issues in honesty before the Lord and others is not easy, but it is well worth it! Utilizing her past training in various healing and freedom ministries under the Holy Spirit’s direction and guidance will allow Diane to bring you freedom like it did for her personally and many before her. Allow the Lord to meet you, to speak His truth to you and to heal you of past trauma and pain that you have been carrying around for far too long. Are you ready to run your race unencumbered by your past? Are you ready to step into levels of freedom and joy that maybe you thought only were available for others and not you? Well that freedom and joy is meant for you so what are you waiting for? Diane would be honored to facilitate and guide you on your journey with the Lord to walk in your birthright as His precious child!
