The Testimony He Almost Lost

Faith crisis. Pregnancy loss. Spiritual drift. Feeling abandoned. Quiet spiritual experiences. Rebuilding testimony. Jesus Christ, covenant faith, healing, belonging, grace, and learning how to hold on when belief becomes harder than it used to be.Jordan’s testimony began long before he realized it was growing.As a young man navigating family heartbreak, instability, and loneliness, small spiritual experiences quietly rooted faith deep inside him. Mentors, coaches, church leaders, and faithful families became evidence that God was aware of him—even when life felt uncertain.But testimony planted in youth still has to survive adulthood.Years later, after devastating pregnancy loss and seasons where both he and his wife found themselves drifting into a more casual relationship with faith, Jordan was forced to wrestle with what he actually believed… and whether those early spiritual experiences were real enough to carry him through grief, disappointment, and doubt.This episode is a deeply honest conversation about the slow cultivation of testimony, the danger of spiritual complacency, and the way Jesus Christ patiently calls people back—even after seasons of numbness, distance, or struggle.From sacred moments that shaped him as a teenager… to faith crises inside marriage… to building a Christ-centered home and fatherhood intentionally different from the one he experienced growing up… Jordan’s story is a reminder that testimony is rarely built all at once. But the Savior can rebuild it stronger than before. Chapters:00:00 – Finding self-worth through Jesus Christ instead of seeking approval from others.01:28 – Family heartbreak, divorce, and the mentors who changed Jordan’s life forever.07:15 – Learning that true healing begins by knowing your divine worth.09:20 – How serving and coaching youth gave purpose to a broken season.15:15 – Meeting Joselyn, sharing faith, and building an eternal family together.19:45 – The spiritual experiences that anchored Jordan’s testimony of Jesus Christ and His restored Church.30:55 – Watching faithful parents fall away and choosing to stay on the covenant path.40:10 – Breaking generational cycles through covenants, grace, and Christ-centered marriage.44:00 – A child's illness, miscarriage, and discovering God's strength in suffering.49:20 – Raising children with Christ at the center of everyday life.54:45 – Why Jordan chooses to stay in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.57:30 – Forgiveness, covenant discipleship, and finding lasting peace through Jesus Christ.
