Hey Friend!

Ever wonder how you can navigate the often challenging teen years and come out on the other side with a solid and strong relationship with your child? Do you wonder why some relationships seem to have more conflict than most and want to know what you can do to lessen the conflict? 

Join us as my youngest daughter, Ashton Weber, and I crack open the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship, focusing on the rocky but enlightening teenage years. Now a newlywed, Ashton sheds light on her teenage emotional and mental development and how it influenced her reactions and how those same reactions likely influence your teen, too. 

Our conversation becomes super enlightening (for all relationships!)  as we discuss how, in the thick of conflict, self-awareness, prayer, and emotional regulation are our best allies. Discover how naming your goal during a disagreement can dramatically shift your approach, fostering healthier resolutions. We discuss practical strategies like self-talk, seeking to understand another's perspective, and how divine assistance comes into play, offering you tools to balance your emotions while remaining realistic in the midst of conflict.

I learned so much from our conversation and I think you will, too!

Hey Friend!

All of us face times where something outside our relationship affects what’s going on inside our relationship–whether it’s drama at work, with an extended family member, child, or friend. People rarely talk about what to do when this happens–until now! 

Join me as I kick off our new series on healthy conflict and peaceful living with my pastor/hubby, Dr. JP Jones, the founding senior pastor of Crossline Church. We share personal stories, including how church-related issues impacted our marriage and what we learned about how to weather outside storms so they don’t shipwreck our relationships.

We normalize conflict as part of human experience, talk about what we wished we’d known sooner, and discuss practical ways we can give each other grace.

You'll discover the power of self-awareness and honest communication with God, especially when dealing with challenging relationships like those with difficult children. We dive into the significance of fostering our own healthy spiritual and emotional life, which, in turn, affects our relational life.

This episode is practical, biblical, and real!

What if unlocking the secrets to a successful life started with understanding the crucial role of fathers in their daughters' lives? 

In honor of Father’s Day, we are shedding light on the importance of fathers in a girl’s/woman’s life. 

Join me and my special guest, Dr. Michelle Watson-Canfield, as we explore the many long-term benefits of intentional connection between dads and their daughters and how we can help foster this relationship in positive ways. Loaded with scientific research, biblical insight, and practical tips, this conversation will encourage and equip you to build the relationship with your daughter that she desperately wants and needs.

If you are a mom of a daughter, you’ll learn ways to encourage the father-daughter relationship. Maybe just as important, you’ll also learn what NOT to do. 

In addition, this episode is a heartfelt celebration of our podcast reaching the top 2% globally, a milestone we could only achieve thanks to your support. Thank you!!

To mark this special occasion, we're kicking off a book club series centered around my book, Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life. In the next few weeks, I’ll be joined by my own family members—husband, son, daughters, daughter-in-law, and sons-in-law–as we tackle how to handle conflict in a healthy way. Whoa! I’m equally parts excited and scared for these conversations! But they’re sure to be filled with real-life wisdom that will help us all.

What if you could transform your cluttered space into a serene sanctuary with just a few mindful decisions? Join us as bestselling author Kathi Lipp shares her compassionate and practical strategies for organizing and decluttering your space. Even if you’re neat rather than messy, you likely have more stuff cluttering your space than you realize (think pantry, make-up drawer, closets) and you’ll benefit from our discussion.

Kathi talks candidly about her personal journey from a cluttered upbringing to becoming an expert in managing clutter. We cover the emotional and social impacts of living with too much stuff, and Kathy emphasizes that clutter doesn't define who you are. You'll gain valuable insights into overcoming common hurdles like decision fatigue and finding time to create an organized environment (spoiler: it takes a lot less time than you think! Kathi tells us how much.)

Kathy also introduces us to the power of curating your wardrobe and making thoughtful choices about what to keep and let go. By using Kathi's three guiding questions—Do I love it? Do I use it? Would I buy it again?—you can confidently make decluttering decisions. 

Kathi’s tips and practical advice makes the daunting task of decluttering something we all can achieve.

Hey Friend!

I know you’ve heard people say, “Praise the Lord!” You may have even said it yourself. But what is praise, exactly? How would you explain it to your child or a new believer? 

Since praising God is mentioned hundreds of times in scripture, we need to understand what it is, why it’s important, and how it can change our lives.  

Today’s episode promises to leave you inspired to elevate your own acts of worship as you recognize the profound potential that lies in every word, and every note of praise we offer to God.

Hey Friend!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I had a conversation with my mom, Carol Riley, and my daughters, Kylie Jones-Healy and Ashton Jones-Weber, three generations of women, who discuss living a life worth passing on. 

You’ll be encouraged by my mom’s wisdom–especially if your own relationship with your mom was less than ideal. You’ll be inspired by what my daughters have learned from their “Grammy” on how to be a godly wife and mom. 

It’s been said that a parent’s ceiling is their child’s floor. This should give us hope because no matter what our family of origin was like, we have the opportunity to build better and lasting ways of loving our family well. 

Our conversation bridges the generational divide, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the enduring legacy of prayer and its impact on shaping lives. The wisdom of previous generations echoes through our dialogue, inviting you to reflect on the spiritual beacons that guide your own familial bonds and the quiet strength found in the legacy we strive to leave.

I hope this episode blesses you!

Could overcoming jealousy and comparison truly transform your life?

This is the second in a two-part series because, let’s just be honest, most of us deal with comparison and the resulting backlash of jealousy, insecurity, defeat, and discouragement that comparison brings.

Since comparison steals so much of our joy, I decided it’s time to figure out what God instructs us to do about it.  Spoiler alert: the last half of the podcast, where I unpack an insight from John 21, could very well change your life!

As we navigate the complexities of our culture (and also simply being human!) I share some personal reflections and biblical insights that have been vital in my own life and those of many touched by my book "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life." 

Together, let's stride towards the freedom and peace of living a life centered on our personal missions, handcrafted by God.

Oh…and if we haven’t connected yet on social media, let’s do it! I’m at @donnaajones.

I also provide practical steps to handle insecurity and avoid comparison traps, ensuring that our social media interactions are supportive, not triggering.
