Montell & Kristin Jordan began their marriage and music career journey together as artist and manager over 20 years ago, entering into the recording industry with the #1 hit song “This Is How We Do It” less than one year after saying “I do”. The challenge of being married in the music business created an inspiring real-life story where—following 2 decades of world touring and millions of album sales—they chose marriage over music, faith over fame, and significance over success. They allowed God to reinvent their lives to surround their family values and passion to see the covenant of marriage reestablished and hope restored in the hearts of men and women everywhere.
The Jordans understand the storms that many of today’s married couples are weathering. In a society where divorce has become commonplace and the very institution and definition of marriage is under attack, they have navigated the uncharted waters and returned to share their testimony. With humor, honesty, and transparency, they provide an example where real-life experience meets God’s word, bearing witness to this truth: We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Their marriage endured some of the greatest trials imaginable—and they believe yours can, too!
Together, Montell and Kristin have co-authored their first book: This Is How We Do It! Making Your Marriage A Masterpeace. They’re continuing to share their story in Montell’s latest project, the book Becoming Unfamous. Today, they travel around the world ministering together from large to intimate settings with intent to have an opportunity to open up their lives to positively influence and impact both married couples and those who desire to be married. Their story is a message of hope, based on taking Christian principles and making them practical for successful application in our daily lives in matrimony.
The Jordans have served faithfully at Victory World Church in Norcross, GA under the leadership of Pastor Dennis and Colleen Rouse since 2008. Montell is an ordained minister and lead worship pastor at Victory. Kristin is an author, public speaker, mentor, and is dedicated to prayer. Together they teach, minister, provide both premarital and marriage counseling for ministries, and are parents to 4 wonderful children ages 4‒27.
