About
Shep Jordan
Hi, I’m Shep Jordan (JER-duhn)
I’ve been blessed by a diverse life journey, both professionally and personally. There have been many peaks and valleys and those experiences have given me a unique perspective on how to live life with meaning and purpose. Beginning as an officer in the Marine Corps after college, I spent a handful of years following my Marine service in the corporate world, chasing the world’s definition of success. But then I found my true calling and purpose in life: teacher, coach and mentor.
I’m glad you’re here!
“Here’s the problem: Our modern day culture has blurred the lines of a man’s role and purpose in life. That’s why I started the Intentional Faith Initiative — to help motivate individuals like you to navigate the murky waters of life and faith and grow to be the person God’s called you to be. ”
Having spent 17 years in the classroom and on the athletic fields, I've had the privilege of wearing many hats throughout my life—as an educator, coach, husband, father, grandfather, and mentor. Each role has shaped who I am today, but the journey hasn't always been easy. I've experienced my share of wins, losses, challenges, and unexpected turns along the way.
Through it all, I've learned that living a meaningful life doesn't happen by chance. It takes intention, perseverance, and, most importantly, faith. Embracing my faith and making the conscious decision to live with purpose completely changed the trajectory of my life.
Today, my mission is to give back by sharing those real-world experiences, lessons learned, and the power of intentional living to help others discover their own purpose, navigate life's challenges, and begin living their best lives—intentionally, through faith.
role models and mentors matter
In fact, they are of critical importance, especially when it comes to setting the right foundation for boys and young men to help them become the men God intends them to be.
Our vision for the Intentional Faith Initiative is to provide men with practical guidance on how to create a stable and honest sense of self amidst dizzying change and deafening media.

“Shep has the knack of communicating clearly and effectively with students in order to provide results. He balances stretch and support very well. Students like Shep, but not because he's easy. He has exacting standards. They respect his candor and care. He is a passionate coach, a caring teacher and a respected peer. I would welcome the privilege of working with him again. Shep would be a valuable member of any learning community.”
