Jordan shares his incredible journey from a life marred by drug addiction and legal troubles to becoming a beacon of hope for others seeking sobriety.
Raised in a God-fearing household, Jordan’s descent into addiction began in his teenage years, leading to a tumultuous life filled with narcotic pain pills and criminal activities. His story takes a dramatic turn when he finds himself in jail, detoxing from a myriad of substances and facing the reality of his situation. The turning point?
A heartfelt plea from his father to attend church on Easter Sunday, which led Jordan to rediscover his faith and find a higher purpose through Jesus Christ.

They discuss the challenges men face in admitting powerlessness and the necessity of surrendering to a higher power.
Jordan’s experience highlights how structure, faith, and a supportive community can transform lives.
