I Am The Ark

In this Season 2 premiere, I’m sharing one of the most personal experiences I’ve had as a mother. During Autism Awareness Month, my daughter Sloan was diagnosed with autism and instead of fear, it brought clarity, patience, and an even deeper love for her.This episode isn’t just about her diagnosis. It’s about what happens when we stop avoiding what we already feel in our hearts and choose to go straight to the source. I talk about acceptance, advocacy, and the power of facing things head on instead of running from them.As this podcast continues to grow across 12 countries, I’m reminded more than ever that we are not alone. No matter what you’re facing, there is support, there is community, and there is healing on the other side of honesty.

For a long time, I believed my story had a name, a diagnosis, an explanation, something I could hold onto.But what happens when the answers don’t come the way you expected?In this episode, I open up about a major shift in my journey, one that forced me to confront my identity, my healing, and what it truly means to move forward.I found myself asking a question that shook me: Am I still the Ark if I’m not sick anymore?This is a conversation about letting go, trusting God’s plan, and realizing that your calling was never meant to be tied to your struggle.Maybe you’re not stuck OR maybe you’re being called to move forward 🤍

(I know I talk about this being episode 13, but it’s really 12, please forgive me for the confusion!) In this episode, I’m talking about the small wins that don’t always feel big—but truly are.Lately, life has been heavy. I haven’t been feeling my best physically or emotionally, and even the simplest things have felt overwhelming. But today, I was reminded that the small things we push through… the moments we almost give up on… those are victories too.From something as simple as washing my hair, to seeing God move in my marriage, my health, and my relationships—I’m learning that if we don’t take time to celebrate the small wins, we’ll miss how much progress we’re actually making.This episode is a reminder to pause, reflect, and thank God for the quiet blessings—the ones that are shaping us for something greater.Tell me your small wins… I want to celebrate them with you 💛

In this episode of I Am the Ark, I’m showing up in a very real and vulnerable place. The past few weeks have been difficult for me physically, emotionally, and mentally. I’ve been dealing with pain, isolation, and moments where I’ve questioned my strength and my direction.But tonight I decided to press record anyway.In this episode, I share what it feels like to keep going when you’re tired, hurting, and unsure about the next step. I talk about the importance of showing up for yourself even when it’s not perfect, and trusting that God is still working in your life even in the hardest seasons.If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re not where you’re supposed to be, I want you to know that you’re not alone. Sometimes the biggest victory is simply getting up and trying again.I’m reminding myself — and hopefully reminding you — that if we’re still here, then God is not finished with us yet.Thank you for being here with me on this journey.

In this milestone episode, I reflect on the journey to ten episodes of I Am the Ark!!! With honesty about setbacks, health challenges, and the slow pace of recovery, I remind listeners that progress doesn’t always look like forward motion. Sometimes it looks like rest, acceptance, and trusting where you are. If you’ve ever felt behind, discouraged, or pressured to do more than your body or heart can handle, this episode is for you. You are not late. You are not failing. You are exactly where you’re meant to be.

In this episode I open up about a hard fall and the fear that followed when my body felt like it had betrayed me. I talk honestly about what it’s like to feel weak, unstable, and unsure. And even in that place I realized I was still being carried. This episode is a reflection on faith, healing, and trusting God when we don’t have the strength to hold ourselves up.

This is the first episode of 2026, and like me, it’s not polished or perfect, it’s honest. In this episode I share where I have been, how things became dark, and why I chose to remain. The Ark’s journey was not beautiful, but it remained sacred, and so are we. If you are struggling, grieving, or just trying to make it, this episode is for you. You’re not alone. Im still here and so are you 🤍

As 2025 comes to an end, I reflect on a year defined by fighting. This year I fought for my health, my independence, my marriage, and my life. In this episode, I talk about what it means to finally lay the gloves down and choose to walk instead of fight. I share why slow growth still matters, why even one listener is enough, and how surrendering to God has brought peace I didn’t know I needed. If you’re ending this year exhausted but hopeful, this episode is for you.

It’s ok to rest without having to explain why. We’re all tired and need a break. So, let’s take a breather and get some rest. We’re still on this journey together 🤍

Let’s go back to the beginning, of the Bible! This episode is about me starting to read the Bible in an unconventional way. Let’s tell God what we want together 💕

Ok so this episode is the longest one I have recorded! But please trust me, it’s a really good one. I realized that not all of you know the story behind the title of this podcast. So in this episode I dive into where it all started. I pray you will listen with an open heart as I talk about one of the hardest things I have ever been through. This podcast is all about transparency. So let’s get into it!

Ok, so we all have a calling over our life. I know, I know, are we really going to talk about it?! YES we are! Because it’s YOURS! You already know what it is, so Call It What It Is! This episode is like me, a little all over the place. But trust me, it is more purposeful than the last episode. Let’s dive into it together, because you aren’t alone.

A small gift from my neighbor had a huge meaning for my life. Let’s learn together to thank God for those quiet and small but monumental gifts.

In this first episode of I Am The Ark with Jordan McCray, I’m sharing something I’ve held close for a long time — the truth of where I’ve been, what I’ve survived, and why I finally said “yes” to speaking out loud.This isn’t a polished highlight reel. It’s the real beginning.The storms I walked through.The year that changed everything.The late-night phone call that pushed me out of hiding.And the quiet moments where I realized God wasn’t asking me to be perfect — just present.If you’ve ever felt called to something but didn’t know where to start, if life has ever shaken you to your knees and made you rebuild from the inside out, this episode is for you. It’s me, opening the door and inviting you into my journey of healing, faith, and becoming — one honest breath at a time.
