S1:EP17 Unity in Crisis: How God Gave Two Brothers a Mission After Hurricane Helene, Part 2

Welcome back to Moms With A Call, where real stories meet real faith, Part 2

In this episode, we sit down with Jordan and Ross to revisit the storm, both literal and spiritual, that shaped their story. From devastating floods in Western North Carolina to the quiet battles no one else could see, they share how faith, community, and surrender carried them through.

This is a conversation about the kind of love that shows up in crisis, the unseen toll of leadership, and the legacy of faith that gets passed down through generations. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s full of reminders that even in disaster, God is near.

We talk about:

• The beauty of unity when a whole community comes together after loss
• The handwritten notes that carried more weight than government aid
• The emotional and spiritual cost of “being strong” in the storm
• How Ross and Jordan learned to surrender control when it mattered most
• The way their faith and family history shaped their response to suffering

If you’ve ever felt the weight of crisis or wondered if your small act of love could make a difference, this story will remind you that God is in the details, and that healing often happens in community.
