She had a plan to end her life. God had a plan to call her His daughter.
In this powerful and deeply honest testimony, Jordan Bailey shares how years of depression, addiction, shame, and self-hatred led her to a moment where she no longer wanted to live. After a suicide attempt, multiple arrests, and time in jail, she believed the lie that she was disposable and beyond hope.
But in the darkest places — including a jail cell — she encountered a God who didn’t see her as a failure… but as His beloved daughter.
This episode is a raw conversation about:
• Struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression
• Alcohol addiction and hitting rock bottom
• Feeling unworthy, unwanted, and beyond redemption
• How hearing God’s voice changed her identity
• Finding purpose in the middle of consequences
• Experiencing God’s love in the most unexpected places
Jordan’s story is proof that no one is too far gone, no mistake is final, and no life is without purpose. If you’ve ever felt hopeless, ashamed, or like you’ve ruined your future, this testimony will remind you that God still calls you His.
