S3:EP46 | From Pharisee to Pastor: A Journey to Genuine Faith | David Jordan

In this powerful episode of Ordinary People with Extraordinary Lives, host Arlenys Buckelew sits down with Pastor David Jordan, the Family and Marriage Pastor at Redeemer Bible Church, to explore his remarkable transformation journey. Raised in a conservative Southern Baptist home, David thought he was saved but later realized he lacked a genuine relationship with Christ. From evangelizing in high school without genuinely knowing Jesus to experiencing a crisis of faith in his marriage, David shares his path to true repentance and salvation. David discovered a deep love for Christ and the Bible through expository preaching and discipleship at Jack’s Church in Burbank, California. This shift in his heart led him from a career in computer graphics to pastoral ministry, where he now focuses on discipling couples and strengthening families. David’s story is a humbling testimony of God’s grace and provision.  Watch his encouraging message about examining your faith and pursuing a life rooted in Christ now! 📺 To Follow Dave Jordan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.jordan.94617/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/dave.jordan.94617 X (Twitter): https://x.com/PastorDMJordan Redeeming Truth Media Website: https://redeemingtruthmedia.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemingTruthMusic Music: https://redeemingtruthmedia.org/music/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemingtruthmusic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085187881047 Redeemer Bible Church: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RedeemerBibleChurchGilbert/featured Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redeemerbibleaz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/redeemeraz X (Twitter): https://x.com/rbcgilbert TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redeemeraz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Resources: Sermon by Jon Benzinger A Warning To The Believing Unbeliever (John 8:31-36) | Set Free | Jon Benzinger https://youtu.be/d69oCBk7sGM Everywhere: https://instabio.cc/extraordinarylives Follow us on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ordinarypeoplepodcast/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ordinarypeoplewithextraordinarylives/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ordinarywith Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ordinarypeoplepod Ordinary People Merch: https://ordinary-people-with-extraordinary-lives.myshopify.com   Check out our website: http://ordinarypeoplewithextraordinarylives.com/ Need help with audio? Reach out to Andrea Cline: https://andreaclineaudio.com       Find us on the BAR Network: https://www.instagram.com/thebarnetwork/ To Support Our Podcast Become a Patron! www.patreon.com/Ordinarypeoplewithextraordinarylives WANT TO SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY WITH US?
