Jordon: Mennonite to Philosopher

Published: Sept. 25, 2023, midnight

b'This week\\u2019s guest is Jordon. Jordon comes from a long family line of Mennonites but Jordon was bookish and musical and never quite fit in.

He grew up in the church, but with two older brothers already having left the church, by 21 he was also out. He\\u2019d never had a television, gone to public school, or really knew anything beyond the small bubble he was in. University changed all of that.

\\u201cThe sense of community I was getting from the friendships I was making outside of these church communities\\u2026was really kind of gratifying.\\u201d

Over years of therapy and some world-traveling, Jordon has come to terms with his upbringing. He\\u2019s found fulfillment as a professor, discussing philosophy with students and continuing to learn and grow.
