Meet the face behind the posts!
Hi Friends, my name is Jordyn! I created "Stay Rooted" to share my advice on some really tough biblical ideas and help promote a community of fellow believers. Throughout my time leading worship, guiding small groups, and attending Union University as a Worship Leadership major, I've been approached with lots of questions regarding Christianity and topics I, myself, have wrestled with. God put it on my heart to collect these questions and design a space to share my thoughts in order to help those who are wrestling with them as well. I'd love for you to join me on this journey as we delve deeper into God's Word and strive to live a life...well, rooted in Him!
​
A little bit about me... I was born into a Christian family and accepted Christ at a very young age. I grew up attending a private school and went to church every Sunday. However, I didn't start taking my faith seriously until late into high school. I had some experiences that left me feeling deprived of my self-worth and ability to trust. I struggled with my identity, allowing my guilt and shame to define me. I was filled with so much anger and hurt that I fell into a very depressive state.
​
But God, as He always does, opened a way for me to escape that destructive situation. Despite this blessing, I felt too far gone to come back to God. However, I was reminded that despite my sinful patterns and betrayal, Jesus gave His hands and feet to be nailed to a cross just so I could have a relationship with Him. I began to seek God as my comforter, my protector, and most importantly my Savior. I was filled with guilt, shame, and fear; but through God, my spirit was renewed, and my slate was wiped clean. I gave my life back to God and found the peace and strength I needed in Him. Now, I am pursuing a career in full-time ministry and music, and am given the opportunity to share God's redemption story for my life almost every week.
​
So, my life is living proof that you're not too far gone and that God is good even when life is not.
​
I hope this blog is a blessing to you and that every time you visit my site it serves as a reminder that the same God who made the heavens and the earth, made you in His image and is fighting on your side.
Services
I believe whole heartedly God is calling me into music and ministry. God has blessed me with many opportunities for public speaking and leading worship at camps, churches, conferences, and schools in various states. If I could be used as a part of God's hands and feet in your church or community, I'd love to hear from you!
Worship Leading
I have experience planning and leading worship in various contexts. Currently, I am the Worship Leader over student ministries at Fellowship Bible Church in Jackson, TN.
Public Speaking
We live in a world that is constantly trying to redefine our identities. God has put on my heart a desire to speak to women about the healing and restoration power of Christ.
