The Breaking Bread Podcast: Conversations over Dinner

Jordan thought stepping into ministry was already the biggest change of his life. But what he didn’t see coming was that in the very place he least expected, he would meet someone who would change his life forever. What began as a coworker in ministry became a best friend and eventually, the love of his life. This episode is about how sometimes the greatest blessings are hidden inside the very changes that feel the scariest.

Change is never easy, especially when it takes you into territory you never prepared for. This is Jordan’s story: His life was steady and predictable, secure job, future plans all set. But then sudden changes came in his life and in that, a sudden turn from being in the Navy for 10 years to now walking into ministry. He shares about how uncomfortable, unfamiliar it has been, and nothing like he pictured his future. Yet, it became the most meaningful chapter of his journey so far. This episode is all about leaning into change, trusting the process, and learning that the unexpected can be the very place where purpose lives. #ExpectTheUnexpected

Dating in your thirties can feel like navigating a maze—more complicated, with fewer shortcuts. But the beauty of it is knowing yourself better, recognizing what you want, and no longer settling for anything less. While everyone else seems to have found their person, and you’re navigating the single season, it’s all about learning to be content whether you’re third-wheeling or flying solo. It is also about redefining what you’re looking for in a partner and not being afraid to have those tough conversations upfront. Gone are the days of dating like in the 70s, when things moved differently, it’s all about honesty, clarity, and being content first with ourselves before being with anyone else.
