Meet Tayler Jordan:

I'm certain I came out of my mother’s womb with a love for fitness. I played sports throughout high school and was definitely the “odd ball” who packed her healthy lunch each day. I went to the University of Southern Mississippi where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Performance with a Major in Exercise Science. After college, I pursued my career as an IFBB Pro Bikini Competitor in Tampa, FL.

I have been a group fitness instructor and personal trainer since 2011. I currently live in Nashville, TN and my passion for fitness is ignited more than ever before. My heart is to equip and encourage you to steward your body well so that you can be and do all that you were created for!

How can you live intentionally and enjoy your becoming journey?

We’re excited to introduce you to our warrior friend Kyle David! Grab a cup of coffee and join Kyle’s and Emily’s conversation unpacking his story, how he is becoming who God made him to be, and how we too can grow on our becoming journey.

In his Becoming Story, Kyle unpacks:

➡️ His journey trusting God

➡️ How to live intentionally and enjoy your becoming journey

➡️ How to navigate and be intentional in singleness

➡️ And MORE!

*****

Meet Kyle David:

Many people are passionate about helping others. Few people have truly devoted their life to serving others. From a young age, Kyle has had a desire to serve others and come alongside them. That has continued forward all these years, remaining not only his passion, but transforming into his calling. Whether conducting a one-on-one coaching session, speaking publicly, or going to various people groups across the far reaches of the world, Kyle strives to serve those he encounters according to their immediate needs and long-term goals.

One of the first and most tangible ways Kyle was able to serve was in the military. What was once a desire to make a career out of military service has transformed into a desire to come alongside other active duty members, veterans, law enforcement officers, and first responders globally. Taking his own experiences from multiple peacetime and combat operations, he aims to help others navigate the demanding lifestyle of service by showing and teaching them what it is to live a healthy and enriching life, understanding their true identity, and moving beyond trauma commonly encountered in these vocations.

Kyle knows the value of mentorship in a person's life. From adolescence to the present, he has been fortunate enough to have had many mentors throughout the various seasons and dynamics life brings with it. We were not created to just "figure it out on our own." As the old African proverb goes, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others." Mentorship is a gift, and Kyle has received this gift often. However, it is a gift that is to be shared, not hoarded. Will you let Kyle share that gift with you?

Other titles include teacher, instructor, and trainer. Kyle has had a lot of experience teaching in both formal and informal settings. Although he takes pleasure in passing off his experience, wisdom, and lessons learned to others, he has devoted himself to being a lifelong learner as well. He is eager to come alongside you, not just to teach you, but to learn from you and with you as well!
