In this episode of At The Table, Pastor Jordon Diaz shares the raw story of stepping into leadership at just 24 years old—taking over a historic church in the Bronx during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when only 15 people remained and the future felt uncertain.

In the middle of rebuilding a church through lockdowns, fear, and loss, Jordon faced a personal battle that would test his faith even deeper: a cancer diagnosis that forced him to confront control, identity, and what it truly means to trust God when the outcome is unknown.

This conversation dives into leadership under pressure, finding God in painful seasons, surrender over strength, and how suffering reshapes identity. Jordon opens up about cancer, recovery, fatherhood, ministry burnout, and why health—spiritual and physical—matters for longevity in leadership.
