Thank you for having me on! This was an incredible experience. God is real and he loves us, no matter what mistakes we may make in our lives. We are not alone!
Jordan, my dad left me at the age of 3 and he never came back. I know one day your kids will figure out that you chose them and it'll mean the world to them! ❤ Congratulations on all those precious children and congratulations on your new addition to come, because there's nothing better than having a family!!
Jordan, I haven't watched this video through yet (just saving it to my watch list) but the fact that you're on here speaks to your testimony. I was a teen dad at 16 years old, and life is not easy like that. But my eldest is now also a father, and I became a grandpa at 34... and I couldn't feel closer to the Lord! Every minute is worth it. Keep the faith, brother, and keep up the strength!
@@bestill365 I am sorry to hear that your father left you and your family. I hope one day he realizes how much opportunity he missed out on by raising children. Kids can be a massive blessing to anyone. Glad you had a chance to listen. I hope it helped you in some sort of way.
@@DannyAGray Having a child as a teenager is tough! But well worth staying in their lives. In my experience, having kid’s challenged me to do better in my life. God is there for you! If your oldest needs to hear it, please have them listen to this podcast. I wish I had been more active in church during the times I was raising my children.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. It is refreshing to hear someone speak life to the Gospel and the church. You are a shining light-thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you for sharing your experience Jordan. I didn’t know much of your story and I’m so glad you had so many wonderful people in your life. I know your parents are great!
I'd like to give some feedback please. Two things actually, if someone has more kids than you, it's important to realize that it may sound (not intended) negative to say, "how do you do it!" It kind of sounds like you're saying the kids themselves are bad and that the choice the parents made to have that many kids is bad and that parenting is just soooo hard! I'm not saying you meant to, but I've had people do this to me and I was like, "gee, there's tons of good things about parenting and having kids to focus on, why is it always about oh it must be soooo hard!" Imagine your kids being able to understand that conversation, would you want them to think it was just all so HARD for you?! Why can't we just congratulate the parents and share the joys of parenthood. Isn't mostly joyous, not mostly hard anyway? Also, when J mentions that he had a baby at 17 you didn't congratulate him on his first daughter. What a sad thing it is that we don't congratulate parents for having a precious daughter or son of God. Yes, he was 17, but does that change the fact that his daughter comes from a divine lineage and deserves to be celebrated no matter what the circumstances were that brought her into this world? I hope she knows she's every bit as loved and valued and cherished as any other baby that was conceived in better circumstances. I mean no offense, just sharing my perspective. Also, what a warrior this father has been! So many times in this video I said, "but he did so many things right!" I wish my dad had stayed and loved me. I wish my dad had gone through the good struggle of raising us kids and helped me like this Dad does for his kids!
Honestly… it is a matter of finding someone who aligns with your priorities. Sometimes that means going on super awkward dates at first. I did pray often for help with dates on the women I was going out with. But just sitting on the sidelines waiting for God to find you the perfect person, won’t happen 😂. Get comfortable with asking people out on dates and just getting to know them. You will find someone.

Any tips on dating?
