Hey hey 🎀 welcome to Beauty and the Bible Podcast! In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Jordan for a real conversation about faith, purpose, and God’s everlasting love. Jordan and I actually met at a birthday party, and somehow we ended up having a full-on convo about spirituality (God be moving in the most unexpected places!). From there, we stayed connected — and this episode is a glimpse into the real, raw conversations we’ve had about navigating life and learning to walk with God. We talk about: -Growing up around church and what faith means now -Transitioning from life as an athlete to finding deeper purpose -How God shows up through life’s challenges -Scripture reminders about God’s faithfulness and everlasting love -What it looks like to build a real relationship with Jesus Jordan shares so openly about where he’s at in his walk, and I’m just so grateful for his willingness to be real and reflect on what God’s doing in his life. We also wrap up with some scriptures and encouragement for anyone trying to figure it all out.
