About this episode

Montell Jordan shares his journey of fame, faith, and identity after stepping away from the spotlight.

Millions know his song. Few know his story. In fact, Everybody knows “This Is How We Do It.” What most people don’t know is what happened after the music stopped. In this episode of The Unbound Podcast, Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Grammy-nominated artist, pastor and speaker Montell Jordan for a conversation about fame, faith, identity and what it looks like when God asks you to surrender the very thing that made you successful. Montell shares how success slowly became part of his identity, how it affected his marriage and family, and why walking away from the spotlight became an act of obedience instead of defeat. He also opens up about his recent battle with prostate cancer, the importance of early detection and how facing a life-threatening diagnosis changed the way he thinks about purpose, trust and what it means to finish well. Along the way, Dr. Evans and Montell explore why God sometimes removes what we depend on before revealing who we really are.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens after the applause…
