Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference in this crazy world? Or wondered how to help your kids or grandkids develop a heart of compassion?  Especially during the holidays? Join me as I chat with Kristy Graham, the vibrant host of On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse. 

From her home in the mountains of North Carolina, she beautifully balances motherhood, ministry, and a mission to bring hope where it’s needed most.

You’ll be inspired as Kristy explains how a simple family connection led her into the life-changing work of Samaritan’s Purse. Together, we explore disaster relief, medical missions, and how the Christmas catalog can teach children empathy through meaningful gifts. 

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that generosity—big or small—can shape our lives, bring Jesus’ hope to the world, and strengthen faith.

What if the unexpected turns in life are actually divine redirections? In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Bob Page, USAF Brigadier General (Retired)  and chaplain, to talk about discovering purpose when life doesn’t go as planned.

From his early dreams of being a missionary to finding himself in the midst of war, Bob’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plans are always greater than our own. Drawing from his book God Is Still for You: 10 Reasons You Can Be Sure Even When Life Is Hard, Bob shares practical ways to trust God’s goodness, find strength in trials, and see how even hardship can become holy ground.

With decades of experience helping others through crisis, confusion, and trauma, Bob is a soothing voice of wisdom and comfort, a reminder that God is still for us and always will be.

What if authentic friendships could make motherhood lighter, richer, and more joyful?

This episode is inspired by a conversation I had recently with my daughter Ashton—soon to be a mom herself—about the incredible role of prayer and friendships in navigating motherhood’s highs and lows. Together, we explore how real connection helps us grow into the women and mothers God designed us to be.

We unpack how to set healthy boundaries, handle comparison, and handle differences in parenting styles with grace. 

This conversation is all about celebrating sisterhood over competition and finding strength through community, faith, and heartfelt connection.

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn and faith becomes your anchor?

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Jennifer Rothschild—best-selling author, speaker, podcast host, and Bible teacher—who lost her sight at age 15. Jennifer shares incredible wisdom born out of real life struggles that will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and give you insight to deal with your own challenges in life. 

Jennifer shares how her parents’ steadfast faith and practical love helped her trade bitterness for hope and how parents can model handling hardship for our kids.  We explore the value of “seeing” life through God’s promises, like Philippians 4:13 and 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 and the necessity of constantly “accepting then adjusting” to life change.

Jennifer is vulnerable, honest, and wise. This isn’t a glib “praise God” bumper sticker conversation, but one where Jennifer reminds us that “earth is short and heaven is long,” and our present struggles prepare us for an eternal glory beyond imagination.

You will love this conversation and walk away inspired!

Have you ever stopped to consider how self-control—or the lack of it—shapes your life?

In this episode, we take a practical, biblical look at self-control and why it matters for your relationships, health, and happiness. Together, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit helps us cultivate this often-overlooked fruit and how it guides us away from impulsive choices that can lead to regret. I’ll share real-life examples and simple strategies to help you identify triggers, plan ahead, and replace unhelpful habits with more effective ones. 

Whether it’s with your words, emotions, or daily decisions, this conversation will help you grow in spiritual maturity, experience greater peace, and live with purpose and freedom in Christ.

What if you could break free from shame and insecurity and discover a healthier way to see yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with Rachael Gilbert, a licensed therapist, author, and host of the Real Talk with Rachel podcast, to discuss her book, Image RESTored. Rachael shares her own journey with body image, how her training to become a counselor revealed a gap in resources for women struggling with body image, and how she hopes to fill the gap with biblical wisdom and practical strategies. 

This is such an important and real life episode, especially for women who silently body shame themselves over weight, wrinkles, or something else. 

Together, we’ll uncover how to quiet negative self-talk, embrace biblical truth, and build confidence rooted in Christ. You’ll walk away with hope, healing, and a fresh perspective.

These past few weeks have been full of evil and violence, but also with the sounds of revival! 

How do we rightly respond to the evil and suffering that surrounds us?

In this timely conversation, I sit down with my husband, Dr. JP Jones, to explore the spiritual antidote to tragedies like assassinations, school shootings, and international conflict. Drawing from his years as a pastor and theologian, JP unpacks the root causes of moral decline while pointing us back to Scripture as our guide. 

Together, we discuss how to channel righteous anger without slipping into unrighteous responses, and how to wield spiritual weapons—like prayer and truth—in today’s battles. This episode will challenge and encourage you to stand firm in faith, overcome evil with good, and trust God’s sovereignty even in chaos.

Is hospitality really about perfect meals—or is it about creating space for connection? In this inspiring and fun-filled episode, I sit down with Abby Kuykendall, founder of A Tabletop Affair and author of Let the Biscuits Burn. Abby’s refreshing perspective reminds us that meaningful gatherings don’t require spotless homes or gourmet menus; they thrive on authenticity and presence. 

From her funny Taco Bell story to practical tips like conversation cards and family non-negotiables, Abby shares how small acts of intentionality can transform our tables into places of belonging. We’ll also explore the deeper, spiritual side of hospitality—how opening our homes can invite God’s presence and rekindle relationships. 

If hosting feels overwhelming, this conversation will encourage you to start small and welcome big blessings.
