The Shattered Whole - Samura Jones | Faithly Stories

Today on the Faithly Stories podcast, meet Samura Jones: author, minister, and Area Director for CarePortal NYC—for a powerful conversation with host Alicia Lee on healing, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership.

From surviving trauma in foster care to leaving a secure role at Apple to follow God’s call, Samura’s life is a testimony to radical faith and emotional restoration. Through the support of a loving community, as well as therapy and spiritual formation, she has transformed deep pain into a thriving ministry that empowers others to find wholeness.

Samura shares how her work in child advocacy and community development has become a mission rooted in compassion and connection. As she leads CarePortal’s efforts to bridge churches and social agencies, her vision is clear: healing happens in relationship, and the Church has a vital role to play.
