Jordan's Hope! Labor Day 2015

This September for three weeks, Jordan will be with his biological family, the people in the book by Jewel Adams, Out of the Closet Into the Light. Genealogy was accomplished last May when Jordan was given a grave plot by his biological brother. It had been saved for Jordan. Thank you to all who walked with Jewel Adams and Ty Mansfield with Voices of Hope and Northstar and Out of the Closet Into the Light, supporting my life. I can honestly thank you for embracing my trip home to Decatur at this pivotal point in the last embrace with many.

Thank you for supporting the Christmas Box House. The book Embraced is also being written and taped while in my hometown of Decatur. This trip is for the opportunity not to meet this time, but to look into the lives of each other and see one another for who we all have become, and I pray that Northstar Family and Voices of Hope Family along with old friends from Evergreen International and from my friend Jewel Adams, author of Out of the Closet Into the Light, the story of my life, will be opened up for the ability to meet all who are in her published story of surviving a life that becomes embraced.

I promise that after coming home again from meeting my biological family, I will be able to embrace the reality we all need to embrace one another, just as the Savior embraced us from the cross to the grave. We are all blessed. Take opportunities like this one and share what’s in your heart. You may be the person that God talks about in the Bible when you entertain the company of strangers you don’t know if you are entertaining the company of angels or even the Lord, himself.

Share this message and embrace your life, because none of my life is able to work without Jesus putting his grace and mercy in all of your hearts for me. BE the BEACON OF LIGHT that God created you to be. Light the path for others to embrace. THANK YOU!

P.S. Keep us in prayer, my spiritual family throughout the country, that God will bless this last opportunity to reveal my life’s mission for children throughout the country from all walks of life who need a mentor or a company who needs a spokesperson, whatever it takes to transform the life of a child, I will have proven that anything is possible in the book, Embraced, released Feb 14, 2016 (Valentines Day).
Ty and Jewel, the years we have shared are years I embrace. You are the best of colleagues. Thank you for all you do. It was a true blessing to receive the Beacon of Light Award from all of you at Northstar and Voices of Hope. You all are true Christian brothers who will walk the walk and not give up.

Embraced - A New Book Co-authored by Jordan Jantz

 We are all writing the story of our life. We want to know what it’s about. What are its themes and which theme is on the rise? People demand of it something deeper, or richer, even more substantive. People want to know where this book is taking them and where they are headed.

Not to spoil our heart-embracing ending, but I want to ensure that when the ending comes, it won’t be shallow. I will have done something life-transforming for others through this book. Honestly, I mean particularly, in this book, Embraced, I will not have squandered everyone’s time. This book is about that life-transformation we all want for ourselves. I began this book because I hit that point in my life. I became intrigued by people who had unearthed their true calling …or those who were at least willing to try. 

In this book, Embraced, nothing seems braver to me than facing up to one’s own identity and filtering out the chatter that tells us to be something we’re not.  In this book I hit on an incredible well-spring of honesty. Complete strangers opened their lives and their homes to me, confessing honesty and events that had never been revealed to ordinary people. By that I mean they did not have the resources available to them, the resources or the character traits that gave them an uncommon advantage in pursuing a better life.

 I’m not an expert of any sort. I have not one credential and nothing to speak about in the academic department, just what you all read about from the book produced by author and owner of Jewel of the West Publishing, Jewel Adams, Out of the Closet and Into the Light, and the live video produced by the President of Northstar International and Voices of Hope, Ty Mansfield. These are the only things I did that ever can be considered helpful additions to the human world we share. I did learn from working on this book, Embraced, that it is the hard times that change the course of our lives. In this book I reveal these moments to show my own fallibility. This book is far different from what I originally envisioned. It reflects what I’ve found not what I predicted. This book does not follow a conventional outline because as you all know, real life is not conventional. Each experience can become embraced in our life.

So this book is to unearth the psychological secrets that haunt us. It is not organized by industry or personality type. It is not a travelogue. It is about misconceptions and fears. When people heard this book’s title, the most common question I got asked was, “So is your book about your life, or about careers?” and I’d laugh and warn them not to get trapped by semantics. I answer, “It’s about people who’ve dared to be honest with themselves." When reading it, I know you will become embraced.

A Desire to Help the Children

As always, Jordan's visit to Utah last week was a wonderful experience, but this time it was extra

special.
Jordan had a chance to visit The Christmas Box House, an organization created by best-selling author, Richard Paul Evans to help abused and neglected children. Jordan has been donating his portion of the proceeds from Out of the Closet Into the Light to The Christmas Box International because he has such a soft spot in his heart for children, and it breaks his heart to think of the ones who are struggling with abuse and neglect. He will continue to do whatever he can to help them, as well as comfort others who have been affected by these and other childhood tragedies.

Jordan's Amazing Summer!

After an unprecedented year, Jordan Jantz sealed his artistic creed, becoming one of the greatest God-fearing men dealing with same gender attraction along with some of the most well-known stars of his generation. Looking ahead, Jordan is pursuing new moves in his life. Jordan, who grew up in California, is one of LA's strongest survivors, not only surviving child abuse and abandonment, but also surviving an industry that takes everything from a person, and he is stronger because of it.

Jordan's Words:
I know some guys who would have been better off without their fathers around. It is a case by case of "Did you get loved too much or not enough?" I now look back on my own childhood and the people I came from, and I have a better appreciation.
It's kind of scary, people have intimacy to bring a child into the world together. You think people are going to be there, but ultimately you just have yourself. And God.

I think every parent has that moment when they think, "Oh, maybe this was a bad idea. We don't know how to do this." Well, guess what? This isn't something you can put back in the hospital if it doesn't fit. You can't exchange it or sell it or abandon it, which would be the easiest thing to do. But one thing is certain, things don't always go the direction you think they should. There is no other way to say it.
I love being a son. My father has shown me things about myself today that I wouldn't have paid attention to before. Sometimes I think, "Oh, my, that is so me right there!" But I don't know if I am good at it. Am I successful at being a son? That is a question I ask myself.  I have many many friends who would have been better off without their fathers around. It is deeply gratifying for a man to see the happiness of his life in his father's eyes!
I think this summer has probably been more than what people have expected, because God is bringing many fathers and sons together and the priesthood is being shared throughout the world. I am blessed to share the Melchizedek Priesthood with all of my brothers and sisters throughout our country, especially for those who have ears to hear and desire a transformation. You will never be alone, and I will never abandon you.
Embrace the summer and grow into the person God created you to be… you are born a child of God, just like me. Find your breakthrough and embrace it this summer. We are more than conquerors.
We love you,
Jordan and Charity
