Jordan's Story

Though he's not here to convert, nor shame anyone for their personal beliefs, Jordan believes his early years in a Christian household laid the foundation for a deep connection with what he believes is God, instilling a profound love for the Divine, which has kept him protected all these years. His journey through adolescence, however, unfolded a tapestry of challenges, including intense psychological and religious struggles. These adversities propelled him toward decisions that perpetuated negative circumstances and bad life choices.

Jordan has now recovered from his addictions, and for a number of years has been committed to living a positive, happy, healthy lifestyle that contributes to the recovery of the community he came from.

His story was not always so...

Amidst the turmoil of his life, a pivotal moment emerged when medical professionals initially considered psychosis or a drug-related psychotic disorder. The trajectory of Jordan's life reached a critical juncture when, due to exacerbated issues, he found himself attempting to take his own life by jumping into the Niagara River, just above the Falls. 

In the swell of the turbulent rapids, a surreal near death encounter unfolded— he saw a Bright White Light, a vision of himself in third person as he tumbled about the waters, and felt an indescribable sense of hope in a moment he was told it wasn't his time to die.

Subsequently rescued from the perilous waters after an arduous eight hours at the brink, Jordan understood they confirmed a diagnosis of a schizophrenia. While initially embracing this understanding, he later developed a bit of a disagreement. His journey took unexpected turns following his first hospitalization, grappling with addiction, but maintaining diligent commitment to recovery.

Fast forward three years, and Jordan found himself hospitalized once again. However, this time, a perplexing contrast arose as he felt an unsettling sense of normalcy in most moments, contrary to the current medical diagnosis. Jordan now perceives his condition not as a mental health challenge, but as an extraordinary connection to the Holy Spirit, and a blessing.

His narrative expands to include profound experiences—revelations from God, God speaking through His Creation and a nuanced understanding of three distinct voices echoing within his mind: God's, his own, and that of the adversary. Though still navigating the path of discernment, Jordan firmly believes in his capacity to remain free from major addiction for the rest of his life.

With unwavering faith, he endeavors to share his remarkable journey of transformation and hope in the name of Jesus, offering inspiration and guidance to others facing similar struggles. It is his hope that many come to understand there is a "Bright White Light" at the end of their very dark tunnel. Just as Jordan feels God did for him in that river, he aims to be the hand outstretched in the darkness, so others have the opportunity to hear a faint whisper telling them "it's not their time to die."
