In this heartfelt Father’s Day episode, Donna Jones sits down with her pastor husband,  Dr. JP Jones, to explore the power and purpose of fatherhood. From JP’s painful childhood shaped by an angry, alcoholic father, he shares how God's grace helped him become a compassionate, intentional dad and now, grandfather. His story will bring hope to your story. 

Together, Donna and JP discuss why fatherhood is a divine calling, how a dad's love shapes a child's identity, and how women can encourage the men in their lives to grow into godly fathers. 

This episode is packed with wisdom, hope, and biblical truth for anyone wanting to build strong families and raise emotionally healthy, faith-filled kids.

Frustration. We all experience it;  none of us like it. But what if frustration isn’t a sin but a signal? In this episode, we take a fresh look at frustration, especially during summer’s messy, together-all-the-time moments, when frustration can reach new heights.  I’ll walk you through the four main triggers (starting with blocked goals!) and show you how to turn those tense moments into opportunities for growth, grace, and deeper connection.

You’ll learn how empathy, “do-overs,” and three powerful questions can help shift communication in your home or relationships from reactive to redemptive. Mistakes don’t have to define us—they can shape us. Frustration doesn't have to have the final say in our life. 

This episode combines biblical truth with real-life insight to help you handle frustration with wisdom, humility, and peace. Let’s grow together this summer—one grace-filled moment at a time.

What if real confidence isn’t about having it all together—but knowing Who’s leading you? In this episode, I chat with life coach Lisa Allen, who shares insights from her powerful new book, Your Confidence Compass—a faith-rooted framework to help you lead yourself well and move forward with courage.

We unpack how emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and naming your feelings (yes, even the hard ones!) can actually boost confidence and help you set healthy boundaries. Lisa also reveals how grief can be a surprising guide on the path to bold, Spirit-led living.

You’ll walk away with practical tools and a deeper understanding of how your personality, experiences, and spiritual gifts shape your God-given confidence.

Habits That Secretly Steal Your Joy (And How to Stop Them) Part 2

Podcast Summary

Ever wonder why your joy feels stuck—even when life’s not that bad? In this episode, I share three sneaky ways we sabotage our own joy (and peace!) without even realizing it. From everyday comparison to being controlling or allowing ourselves to be controlled, we dig into the habits that quietly erode our spiritual and emotional well-being.

This episode is the second in a two-part series, so if you missed last week's episode you'll want to listen to that conversation, too!

These two episodes are about awareness and simple, powerful shifts backed by Scripture. I share real-life stories, including one involving the moment I was confronted by my own need to control. (Spoiler alert: you might recognize yourself in my story!) and practical tools to help you reset your mindset and renew your joy.

If you’re ready to stop the joy stealers in their tracks, this one’s for you. Let’s grow together!

Do you ever find yourself feeling less joyful or peaceful than you know God wants you to be, but can’t quite figure out why? In this episode, I share surprisingly common ways we unknowingly sabotage our own joy. (Yes, even the most spiritually mature of us do this!)

From complaining to criticizing, we unpack the little habits that sneak into our lives and chip away at our contentment—and how to replace them with biblical truth and grace-filled perspective. You’ll hear real stories, practical examples, and simple tools you can start using today.

Trust me, this isn’t about guilt—it’s about growth. Because a joy-filled life isn’t just what we want—it’s exactly what we need.

Let’s do this together!

What if your life’s calling could be bigger than being a wife and mom with a great job, a white picket fence, and a dog? What if one conversation opened your eyes to needs you never knew existed? That’s exactly what happened to Britney Higgs, founder of the Her Campaign. In this powerful episode, Britney shares how a conversation with a friend doing rescue work in the red-light districts of India and Nepal shifted everything. What started as a film project turned into a full-blown calling to serve human trafficking survivors.

From being the only woman on a rescue mission in Iraq to walking through a three-year healing journey with God, Britney’s story is raw, real, and faith-filled. You’ll be inspired to see how surrender, healing, and the Holy Spirit can completely transform a life—and impact others. 

This story will inspire your own. God wants to use you in the lives of others, too!

Ever felt like you’re stuck in a season of waiting? Oh friend, you’re not alone. In today’s episode, I sit down with Rebecca George, author of You're Not Too Late: Trusting God's Timing in a Hurry-Up World. Rebecca shares her honest journey of longing, waiting, and learning to trust God’s timing—even when life felt like it was moving without her.

We talk about everything from divine timing (including a sweet story about a prayer bench in the Smoky Mountains!) to what olive trees in Israel taught Rebecca about patience and faith. Plus, we dig into why weakness isn’t the end of your story—it’s the beginning of God's strength shining through.

If you’re in a season of wondering, waiting, or asking “when, Lord?”—this episode will remind you: His timing really is perfect.

Ever feel torn between what you should do and what you want to do? Oh friend, you’re not alone—and this week’s episode with the amazing Heidi White dives straight into that tension.

Heidi is a teacher, speaker, and author of Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life, joins me to unpack the stories we live and the ones we tell—through scripture, literature, and real life.

We talk about Adam and Eve, the prodigal son, and how our desires and responsibilities pull us in opposite directions (hello, relatable!). You’ll walk away with fresh perspective, grace for your journey, and maybe a little “aha” moment or two.

I’ve walked with Jesus long enough to realize how easy it is to get caught up in being a “Christian” but somehow forget about Christ!

In this episode, I reflect on the incredible story of Jesus—His life, His love, and His sacrifice that literally changed everything. From Bethlehem to the cross, we dive into who Jesus really is and why that matters deeply for your faith journey.

I’ll walk you through John’s Gospel, C.S. Lewis’ famous question about Jesus, and what it means for us today. 

Ready to rekindle your faith?

No one wants to lead an insignificant life. Nor do we want to pass on generational dysfunction. But what if your legacy isn’t just what you leave behind—but what you set in motion? In this episode, I sit down with Bill High, founder of Legacy Stone Ministries, to talk about faith, family, and the power of intentional legacy.

We unpack how our culture’s obsession with independence is reshaping families—and how reclaiming a biblical view of community and generational ties can change everything. Bill shares how storytelling, value statements, and small moments of integrity shape the legacy we pass on.

This one will encourage you to reflect, realign, and reimagine the impact you’re making—right now.
