I Am The Ark

When I think of grief, I don’t just think about losing someone to death. I think about grieving the person I used to be, the place that once felt like home, and the life I thought I would have. In this deeply personal episode, I share my own journey through loss, change, and healing, while reminding you that even in our hardest seasons, God is still present. If you’ve ever grieved a relationship,...

After a brief break, I'm back to share an answered prayer, a major milestone for I Am the Ark, and what God has been teaching me about humility. As I reflect on my journey from paralysis to purpose, I'm reminded to stay grateful, remember where I came from, and keep moving forward in faith. I may be a miracle, but I'll never forget the One who made it possible.

Happy Mother’s Day, Ark family 💛 In this episode, I’m talking about motherhood, timing, faith, and trusting God’s plan , even when life doesn’t happen the way we expected it to. I open up about raising my daughters in two completely different seasons of my life and how I’ve learned that God will give us the desires of our hearts when we’re truly ready to sustain them. Whatever you’ve been praying...

In this Season 2 premiere, I’m sharing one of the most personal experiences I’ve had as a mother. During Autism Awareness Month, my daughter Sloan was diagnosed with autism and instead of fear, it brought clarity, patience, and an even deeper love for her. This episode isn’t just about her diagnosis. It’s about what happens when we stop avoiding what we already feel in our hearts and choose to go...

For a long time, I believed my story had a name, a diagnosis, an explanation, something I could hold onto. But what happens when the answers don’t come the way you expected? In this episode, I open up about a major shift in my journey, one that forced me to confront my identity, my healing, and what it truly means to move forward. I found myself asking a question that shook me: Am I still the Ark...

(I know I talk about this being episode 13, but it’s really 12, please forgive me for the confusion!) In this episode, I’m talking about the small wins that don’t always feel big—but truly are. Lately, life has been heavy. I haven’t been feeling my best physically or emotionally, and even the simplest things have felt overwhelming. But today, I was reminded that the small things we push through… t...

In this episode of I Am the Ark, I’m showing up in a very real and vulnerable place. The past few weeks have been difficult for me physically, emotionally, and mentally. I’ve been dealing with pain, isolation, and moments where I’ve questioned my strength and my direction. But tonight I decided to press record anyway. In this episode, I share what it feels like to keep going when you’re tired, hur...

In this milestone episode, I reflect on the journey to ten episodes of I Am the Ark!!! With honesty about setbacks, health challenges, and the slow pace of recovery, I remind listeners that progress doesn’t always look like forward motion. Sometimes it looks like rest, acceptance, and trusting where you are. If you’ve ever felt behind, discouraged, or pressured to do more than your body or heart c...

In this episode I open up about a hard fall and the fear that followed when my body felt like it had betrayed me. I talk honestly about what it’s like to feel weak, unstable, and unsure. And even in that place I realized I was still being carried. This episode is a reflection on faith, healing, and trusting God when we don’t have the strength to hold ourselves up.

This is the first episode of 2026, and like me, it’s not polished or perfect, it’s honest. In this episode I share where I have been, how things became dark, and why I chose to remain. The Ark’s journey was not beautiful, but it remained sacred, and so are we. If you are struggling, grieving, or just trying to make it, this episode is for you. You’re not alone. Im still here and so are you 🤍

As 2025 comes to an end, I reflect on a year defined by fighting. This year I fought for my health, my independence, my marriage, and my life. In this episode, I talk about what it means to finally lay the gloves down and choose to walk instead of fight. I share why slow growth still matters, why even one listener is enough, and how surrendering to God has brought peace I didn’t know I needed. If...

It’s ok to rest without having to explain why. We’re all tired and need a break. So, let’s take a breather and get some rest. We’re still on this journey together 🤍

So in this episode I dive into where it all started. I pray you will listen with an open heart as I talk about one of the hardest things I have ever been through. This podcast is all about transparency. So let’s get into...

Ok, so we all have a calling over our life. I know, I know, are we really going to talk about it?! YES we are! Because it’s YOURS! You already know what it is, so Call It What It Is! This episode is like me, a little all over the place. But trust me, it is more purposeful than the last episode. Let’s dive into it together, because you aren’t alone.

A small gift from my neighbor had a huge meaning for my life. Let’s learn together to thank God for those quiet and small but monumental gifts.

In this first episode of I Am The Ark with Jordan McCray, I’m sharing something I’ve held close for a long time — the truth of where I’ve been, what I’ve survived, and why I finally said “yes” to speaking out loud. This isn’t a polished highlight reel. It’s the real beginning. The storms I walked through. The year that changed everything. The late-night phone call that pushed me out of hiding. And...
