Jordin Sparks’ Testimony - Lukewarm to Team Jesus

Born December 22, 1989

Jordin Sparks is widely known for her musical and acting career. From Glendale, Arizona (suburb of Phoenix), Jordin became the youngest winner of the hit talent search show American Idol. The terrifying, yet exciting win at the age of 17, became a life-altering moment in Spark’s life.

 At the age of 17, Sparks’ life changed as she debuted with her self-titled album “Jordin Sparks“ in 2007.  This album would go platinum selling two million copies worldwide. Touring would take a toll on Sparks' voice as she was not used to performing sets of songs rather than one or two here and there. 

Her widely hit single, 'No Air' featuring Chris Brown has sold over 4 million digital copies worldwide and landing Sparks with multiple nominations and awards, including an American Music Award in 2008 and a Grammy nomination in 2009. 

Later in July 2008, she debuted with her second album Battlefield, debuting at #7 in the U.S. In addition at the 2008 NAACP Awards, she was a part of an Aretha Franklin tribute, singing ‘RESPECT’. 

By 2010, Jordin found herself on Broadway ‘In The Heights’ and starring in major films including Sparkles (inspired by the Supremes) with Whitney Houston.

Six years after her second album, her third studio album “Right Here Right Now” was release. Sparks recalls this one her proudest art. 

Though with all the gifts and talents, Jordin Sparks’ have, their a testimony within the lines. 

Jordin reveals in a testimonial video from 2017, “Before giving my heart fully to God, my life and my heart was only have in it. It was lukewarm [...] I believe I would be happy if I continue to do the norm that a Christian should do. Go to church, read the Bible, be good to other people. And [I] was successful in my music and devoted in my romantic relationships.”

WIth a hard working and overpouring spirit to her career and romantic relationships, Jordin revealed in her testimony that she began to feel like a zombie and lost sight in who she was create to be. 

“My belief about God was that he was this big creator and you know ruled over everything but that he wasn’t with me or near me. It wasn’t until I was completely broken and torn that Jesus poured his love on me on Easter and that I began to completely surrender to God with my life. I finally decided to renew my relation ship [with Christ] and I couldn’t help myself, at church Easter 2016, I proceeded to weep and ask for prayer over me. For Jesus to forgive and heal all the pain I was feeling.” 

Sparks reveal that after her rededication, she didn’t the former things as her ultimate source of happiness but found joy with the Lord Jesus Christ. She found a zeal to seek, obey, and build up her relationship with Christ.  In her old life, Sparks found comfort in her former identity and success in music. With a former heart of boasting in her worldly accomplishment, revival shaped Jordin heart to spend her time less on music but in Matthew 6;33, seeking the kingdom of God.

“My life has changed dramatically and though I may still struggle with many things, they’re getting better and I’m different in so many ways such as having a piece that I’ve never had before in my entire life and a joy that nobody can take away.” 

Jordin leaves with a powerful encouragement to trust God with your life as his faithfulness extends to love who love Him. He will never leave you nor forsake.
