For the last three years, I've had the honor of hosting The Nona Jones Show, bringing you thoughtful conversations with friends, experts, and voices across culture, leadership, and faith. I've loved every moment of it, but over the last few months, I've been quietly working on an evolution.While in prayer about the 2026 season, God impressed upon me that you don't need more conversations. You need clarity. You don't need more content. You need truth that stays with you long enough to change you. And that is why, next week, I'm launching the next step in actualizing my call to help the hurting heal and set the captives free.What was once The Nona Jones Show is now Just Nona. A new, more intentional format that is more focused and personal than ever. Each episode is designed to meet you right where you are:• A focused teaching to help you confront what's actually holding you back• “The Heart Question” where I answer a real question you're wrestling with • Real stories of quiet obedience and everyday impact• And a moment to pray it all the way throughIf you've been doing the work but still feel stuck…If you're ready to stop performing and start becoming…If you want something deeper than inspiration—Just Nona is for you. And we're just getting started.

Nona Jones said, “Don't let someone speak to the lowest common denominator of your potential,” and that's all the confirmation I needed. Learn how to recognize your calling when the confirmation isn't necessarily positive. #ThePitch #INICIVOX #VirtualMentorship

Grief can knock the breath out of you. One moment life feels steady — and the next, everything you knew is gone.In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, I sit down with author and speaker Courtney Pray Duke, who was widowed at 29 and left to raise three young children after the sudden loss of her husband.This isn't a conversation about “moving on.”It's about what happens when resurrection meets real life — when Jesus shows up in the middle of heartbreak and helps you rise again.We talk about:• walking through unbearable grief• faith when God feels silent• declarations in the dark• filtering voices during loss• and how healing actually happensScripture reminds us in Matthew 9:25, “The girl got up.”Sometimes that's the miracle, not the absence of pain, but the strength to stand again.If you're grieving, exhausted, or wondering if your story is over, this conversation is for you.

Most of us think relationship problems are about communication.But what if the real issue is what's happening beneath the surface?In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, I'm joined by Dr. Gino Collura; behavioral scientist, executive advisor, and neuroanthropology expert, to unpack the hidden language of trauma and why it shows up in how we relate, react, attach, and interpret people.Trauma doesn't always show up as a memory.More often, it shows up as overreaction, withdrawal, control, or shutdown, and we don't even realize we're doing it.We talk about:How early experiences shape the “cost of love” we believe inWhy so many high-achievers chase success as a proxy for loveThe patterns trauma produces (people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, emotional withdrawal)Boundaries, self-respect, and why loving people doesn't mean protecting everyoneWhy healing is possible: the brain can rewire and the heart can healThis conversation is faith-forward, emotionally honest, and deeply practical, especially if you're a high-capacity woman who leads well outwardly but feels tired, reactive, or stuck internally.  

Most of us enter relationships trying to pass; pass as healed, pass as confident, pass as ready. But love was never a test to ace.This conversation shifts the posture from trying to master love to becoming a student of it. Drawing from Student of Love, we explore how relationships are meant to teach us, through rejection, boundaries, identity, commitment, and even discomfort.Too often, we chase connection without clarity and search for soulmates without doing the soul work. When we stop trying to control love and instead listen to what it's teaching us, something changes.Love doesn't fail us; we fail to listen.And when we do, we don't just experience love, we reflect it.Laterras R. Whitfield's new book, Student of Love, is available now, wherever books are sold.

Your “yes” to God may cost you comfort, but it will lead you to purpose. Saying “yes” sounds simple, until it stretches your faith, disrupts your plans, or challenges your comfort zone.The truth is, many of us pray for clarity, but what we really want is control. And when obedience feels risky, fear will always try to talk us out of faith.But what if the blessing you've been praying for is waiting on the other side of that trembling, uncertain, but willing “yes”?What if the detours and disruptions aren't distractions, but divine direction?This week, I'm joined by Brenda Palmer author of The Journey to Yes, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to surrender to God when the path doesn't make sense.Because every “yes” to God may feel like loss in the moment, but it always leads to more than you could imagine.

Gratitude is an act of FAITH! When our circumstances are chaotic and challenges surround us, choosing to give thanks to our All-Powerful God opens the door for His strength, peace, and joy to flood our hearts and shift our perspective. Join Laurie Crouch, Sheila Walsh, Holly Wagner, Nona Jones, and Dr. Irini Fambro as we discuss how to walk through seasons of suffering and find renewed hope on the other side of gratitude. ------- If you missed last week's conversation, we encourage you to go back and listen to “Seeing Change Through God's Eyes.” ------- Do you want more Better Together?

What do you do when you love Jesus…but someone deeply hurts you and isn't even sorry about it? When they lie, undermine you, or try to ruin your name and somehow, they seem to move on while you're still in pieces?In this episode of The Nona Jones Show, Nona unpacks what it really means to forgive without an apology. She shares a personal story of betrayal and what God taught her about letting go, not to excuse the pain, but to stop carrying what was never hers to hold.You'll learn:* Why bitterness keeps us bound and how to break free* The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation* Why repentance is the pathway to grace, mercy, and justice* How to trust God to handle what they did, so you can live freeIf you've ever asked, “How do I forgive someone who isn't sorry?” this episode is for you.Listen, reflect, and begin your journey to freedom on The Nona Jones Show.

Nona Jones knows what it's like to live with the pain of rejection and abuse … from people who should have offered love. But she's also learned that rejection doesn't have to define you. It can refine you. In this conversation, Nona shares her hope story of how the love of Christ began healing the wounds of rejection and showing her that God's acceptance is greater than any person's approval. Drawing from her new book The Gift of Rejection, she helps us reframe our pain as preparation for our purpose.  If you've ever felt unwanted, overlooked, or unworthy, this episode will help you discover that rejection isn't the end of your story — it may just be the beginning of your purpose.

Rejection isn't the end of your story—it can be the beginning of God's greater plan.If you've ever felt cast aside, overlooked, or unseen… this conversation is for you. Because rejection hurts—deeply. Whether it's a broken relationship, a missed opportunity, or simply feeling invisible, those moments can leave scars that whisper lies: you're not enough, you're not wanted, you don't belong.But here's the truth: rejection doesn't define you—in God's hands, it refines you.Today, I'm joined by Ginger Stache, Emmy Award–winning storyteller and Chief Creative Officer at Joyce Meyer Ministries. She knows what it's like to walk through rejection and come out stronger, wiser, and more anchored in God's love.We're talking about how God can take the sting of rejection and use it to shape you, strengthen you, and set you free.Because when God rewrites your story, rejection becomes redirection—and that's where purpose begins.

Your faith was never meant to be hidden—it was meant to be lived, breathed, and embodied in how you lead, love, and show up every day.Today's conversation is for anyone navigating the tension of being a believer in spaces that don't always honor belief. My guest, Enitan Bereola, shows us what it looks like to live authentically with God—not perfectly, but fully present, fully aligned, and fully courageous.Culture is loud. It tells us who to be, what to value, and how to think. And too often, its voice conflicts with God's truth. Many of us feel pulled in two directions—our faith on one side, our cultural life on the other. But here's the truth: faith wasn't meant to be compartmentalized. It was meant to transform every part of your life.Enitan has spent his life bridging that gap—reshaping conversations about identity, relationships, and culture through his work as an author, creative, and thought leader. Husband, father, entrepreneur, and man of faith, he's learned how to navigate influence without compromising conviction.Today, he shares how to stand firm in your beliefs while engaging culture with relevance, grace, and boldness—reminding us that our light is meant to shine everywhere, not just in church.

Influence isn't about being seen—it's about what you build when no one's watching.This conversation is for high-capacity women and dreamers who feel called to big stages but are unsure how to navigate the industry, the politics, or the pressure. Candi's journey reveals what it really takes to rise, lead, and last in a world that often values image over integrity.When you think of the entertainment industry, you might think lights, cameras, red carpets—and yes, there's all of that. But what you don't always see is the grit. The resilience it takes to lead behind the scenes, especially as a woman. Especially as a woman of color.According to a 2023 USC Annenberg report, only 26% of executive producers across the top 100 television shows were women—and just 6% were Black women. So what does it take to break those barriers? What does it cost? And more importantly, how do you keep your soul intact while doing it?Today's guest didn't just walk through the doors of the entertainment industry—she helped build the house. She's produced iconic shows, navigated high-stakes rooms, and carried the weight of leadership with grace, grit, and faith. And today, she's sharing what she's learned so others can follow—not just in her footsteps, but in her faith.

There's a moment in every leader's life when the assignment that once felt like destiny starts to feel like disobedience. You're still producing. You're still respected. But inside, there's a quiet whisper that says: It's time to move on.The problem? We often confuse disruption with failure. Especially when we've built a name, a reputation, or even an identity around what we do. The idea of stepping away—especially from something successful—can feel like stepping into the unknown with no map and no guarantee.But what if disruption isn't the end? What if it's actually the beginning? Today's conversation is for anyone sensing that nudge to pivot, but unsure how to let go of what's familiar without falling apart. Because when God says it's time to shift, obedience is your strategy—and dignity is still possible.

There's a battle happening over your life right now—and it's not about your job, your finances, your relationships, or even your health. It's about your identity.Jeremiah 1:5 says…. And not only does God assign your purpose to your identity, the adversary knows God has assigned your purpose to your identity. And this is why, if he can twist, diminish, or distort your identity, he can keep you from walking in the fullness of your calling. Satan uses tools like comparison and rejection—not just to hurt you in the moment, but to plant seeds of doubt about your worth, your calling, and your belonging.But here's the truth: the enemy didn't create you—God did. And He alone defines who you are. Today, we're going to dig deep into how the enemy distorts identity, why it's so effective, and most importantly, how to fight back with the truth of God's Word.

There's a moment in every leader's life when the assignment that once felt like destiny starts to feel like disobedience. You're still producing. You're still respected. But inside, there's a quiet whisper that says: It's time to move on.The problem? We often confuse disruption with failure. Especially when we've built a name, a reputation, or even an identity around what we do. The idea of stepping away—especially from something successful—can feel like stepping into the unknown with no map and no guarantee.But what if disruption isn't the end? What if it's actually the beginning? Today's conversation is for anyone sensing that nudge to pivot, but unsure how to let go of what's familiar without falling apart. Because when God says it's time to shift, obedience is your strategy—and dignity is still possible.

We live in a world obsessed with image. Social media filters, curated feeds, and brand “personas” make it easier than ever to project a version of ourselves that looks good—but isn't real.The problem? When we hide, we hurt. We disconnect from God, from others, and from our own calling because authenticity is the soil where purpose grows. Living behind a mask might protect you in the moment, but it will suffocate you in the long run.Today's conversation is for anyone tired of pretending—tired of chasing approval and ready to live in alignment with who God says they are.

Send us a textWhat if rejection was the best thing that ever happened to you?Welcome to the Season Premiere On The Path with Cheryl Nembhard!This week, Cheryl sits down with Nona Jones—preacher, business executive, author, and global ambassador for YouVersion. Nona is the CEO of The Nona Jones Co., co-leads Open Door Church in Gainesville with her husband, and is the author of The Gift of Rejection, Killing Comparison, and Success from the Inside Out.In this powerful conversation, we cover:- Turning rejection into redirection- Healing from church hurt without losing faith- Staying grounded while leading at a high level- Biblical truths for navigating discouragementIf you've ever battled rejection or wrestled with worth, this episode will inspire you to see rejection as God's invitation into purpose.

We all love the idea of “better.” A better job. A better marriage. A better season. But what we don't love is the journey it often takes to get there. Because more often than not, the road to better is bumpy, full of unexpected twists, and nothing like the path we imagined.The truth is, some of God's greatest gifts come wrapped in hardship. The very thing you're asking Him to remove might be the thing He's using to refine you, redirect you, and prepare you for the promise.Today's conversation is about embracing the bumps, not resenting them. Because if you only measure God's goodness by how smooth the road is, you'll miss the beauty of how He uses the rough terrain to strengthen your faith.

According to a 2023 report from McKinsey & Company, women remain significantly underrepresented in senior leadership roles, holding only 28% of C-suite positions. And when they do rise, they're twice as likely to be mistaken for someone more junior, or labeled “aggressive” rather than assertive.The message is clear: lead, but not too boldly. Speak up, but not too loudly. Be strong, but not so strong that you make people uncomfortable.But here's the truth: the world desperately needs women who are willing to lead with power, confidence, and integrity—all at the same time. Women who refuse to shrink, soften, or silence themselves to fit someone else's comfort level.Today's conversation is for every person who's ready to lead without apology. Because power isn't the problem. The problem is when we believe we have to abandon ourselves to achieve it.

Offense is one of the enemy's sharpest weapons — a silent trap that steals your attention, drains your energy, and chains your purpose. It doesn't just distract you; it hijacks your focus and turns it toward bitterness, resentment, and dishonor. Too many of us are carrying offenses that are holding us back from God's best. In this message, you will learn how to break the grip of offense, live unoffendable, and keep your heart and mind locked on what truly matters to God.

There's a tension many of us feel as believers: we want to be bold about our faith, but we also want to be wise, professional, and respected in the workplace. We've all heard “preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words”—but let's be real, sometimes it feels like even our presence as Christians in corporate spaces is unwelcome.According to a 2023 Barna Group study, nearly half of practicing Christians under age 40 feel conflicted about sharing their faith at work, worried about offending colleagues, jeopardizing relationships, or risking professional consequences.And yet, Jesus never called us to compartmentalize our lives. He didn't say, “Represent Me only on Sundays.” He said, “Go into all the world.” That includes the conference room, the sales floor, the teacher's lounge, and the corporate headquarters.Today's conversation is for anyone wrestling with how to show up fully as a believer in spaces where faith might be met with skepticism. Because the truth is, the world might not be asking about Jesus, but it's desperately looking for the hope, integrity, and compassion that comes from Him.

Let's be honest: heartbreak hurts enough when nobody knows your name. But when your personal life becomes public fodder—when strangers dissect your story, speculate about your decisions, and cast judgments from behind their screens—the wound cuts even deeper.Here's the problem: We were never designed to process pain under a microscope. Healing is a sacred, private journey. Yet sometimes God allows our private struggles to spill into public view—not to shame us, but to shape us.Today, I am joined by Samantha Lee, who is going to talk about what it takes to heal when the whole world seems to be watching. Because while your pain might be public, your healing belongs to you—and to God alone.

Most of us have not been taught how to handle conflict well. We've learned how to shut down, lash out, avoid, or pretend—but not how to lean in with love and truth.And this is a problem—because difficult conversations aren't going away. They're part of life. Whether you're dealing with a strained relationship, tension at work, or just trying to talk through different perspectives—learning how to communicate across discomfort is essential.Studies show that, in personal relationships, fear of conflict is one of the top reasons people avoid necessary conversations, often leading to resentment, broken trust, and missed opportunities for growth.So today, we're digging into how to not just have those conversations—but how to hear them with grace and self-awareness. And my brilliant guest today does this work for a living.

Have you ever felt certain God was calling you to do something—but the moment you stepped out, the people you thought would cheer you on either went quiet... or walked away? If you've been there, you're not alone. And you're not crazy. We're communal beings. We crave belonging. So when doing what God told us to do isolates us, it can leave us wondering: Did I hear Him right? Am I being prideful? Why is no one standing with me?Today's conversation with Tim Ross is a healing, honest, and holy one. We're talking about how to build the courage to go it alone—not because you want to be isolated, but because sometimes obedience will isolate you.

What is trying to hold you back? When our sins, secrets, and negative cycles of thoughts or behaviors try to hold us back, only Jesus can set us free. In Him, we find forgiveness, grace, and love that are powerful enough to renew our minds and create lasting freedom.

In today's episode of The Nona Jones Show, I'm joined by Abby Zachritz to discuss the unique challenges—and yes, the joys—of parenting children with disabilities and complex medical diagnoses.Now, before we get into it, let's look at the reality:➡️ In the U.S. alone, 1 in 6 children has a developmental disability.➡️ Over 3 million children live with complex medical conditions requiring ongoing care.➡️ And behind every one of those children is a parent—a warrior—often juggling grief, advocacy, financial stress, and loneliness… all while trying to hold their families together.But here's the thing: in the middle of that storm, there is beauty. There is strength. And there is purpose. And today's guest is someone who embodies all of that and more.If you are a parent walking through this journey—or if you know someone who is—this conversation is your invitation to breathe, to be seen, and to know: you are not alone.

SHAME ends here! When our sins or memories of the past make us want to hide, we must run to our Heavenly Father. God's love is stronger than shame! His light drives away the darkness. His love and mercy set us free! And His truth can replace any lie. In this conversation, Sheila Walsh, Dr. DeeDee Freeman, Nona Jones, Blynda Lane, and Elyse Murphy discuss how to live FREE from all guilt and shame.   ---- There is nothing that you can do to escape God's Love!

You know those moments… Someone makes a comment. You see a post online. You walk into a room and suddenly feel like you don't belong. Your chest tightens. Your thoughts race. You question your worth. And before you even know it, insecurity has hijacked your peace.But what if I told you that insecurity isn't the problem? The real issue is what we do with those moments—how we interpret them, how we internalize them, and whether we process them or allow them to take root in our identity.That's why I'm so excited about today's guest, Dr. Caroline Leaf! She's not just a neuroscientist. She's a faith-filled, truth-speaking, brain-rewiring powerhouse who is helping people around the world renew their minds in the most practical, transformational ways.

After nearly twenty years in corporate leadership—serving as an executive at some of the largest companies in the world—I recently made the decision to step away and go full-time into entrepreneurship and ministry, and I know I'm not alone. According to a 2023 McKinsey report, nearly 70% of Americans say they've considered leaving their jobs to pursue more meaningful work, and more than 5 million new business applications were filed in the U.S. in 2022 alone. That tells me something: people are hungry for purpose over paychecks, for calling over comfort.In this episode, I want to talk about what it means to truly follow God into the unknown—to leave behind what's safe, stable, and culturally celebrated in order to step into purpose.

Your past does not define you! Our God is the Great Redeemer. There is nothing that is too far gone for Him to redeem. He exchanges our pain for purpose, hardship for wisdom, and what was meant to harm us for good. He is faithful to heal our hearts and use our story to help others find hope and freedom. In this conversation, Sheila Walsh, Dr. DeeDee Freeman, Nona Jones, Blynda Lane, and Elyse Murphy share stories of restoration, hope, and healing!   ---- There is nothing that you can do to escape God's Love!

But the truth is, insecurity affects everyone, no matter how successful, talented, or confident they might appear. And the real danger isn't just feeling insecure—it's pretending we're not. Because when we hide our struggles, we actually give them more power over us.But here's the good news: honesty breaks the chains of insecurity. When we open up about our struggles, we invite healing, we invite freedom, and most importantly, we invite God into the places we've tried to hide. And today, we're going to talk about why being honest about our struggles is so important—not just for ourselves, but for those who are watching us. To do this, we have an incredible guest joining us to talk about why honesty is so important in this journey--Grammy award winning artist, Lecrae!Join my newsletter today to receive exclusive content including early access to new messages!https://www.thenonajones.co Order my latest book The Gift of Rejection here:https://www.nonajones.com/books/the-gift-of-rejection Check out my new website!https://www.nonajones.com/ Take a look at my other books!https://www.nonajones.com/books

Nona Jones brings a word in today's episode where she candidly shares with Sadie about her incredibly traumatic and abusive childhood. Nona talks about being told she was unwanted by her mom and how she was forced back into an abusive situation with her mom's live-in boyfriend — but how she's learned, with God's help, to work through the overwhelming feelings of rejection she's experienced. Rejection IS painful — we all experience it in different ways — but what lessons can we learn from it too? As Nona says, "Pain is just the wrapping paper" and encourages us to dig deep and observe our thoughts and why we react to situations and words the way we do. Nona's book, "The Gift of Rejection" is available anywhere you buy your books!  This episode of WHOA That's Good is brought to you by: https://www.drinklmnt.com/whoa — Get a FREE LMNT Sample Pack with any LMNT purchase! https://www.trymiracle.com/whoa — Get 40% off + 3 FREE towels with code WHOA at checkout! https://liberty.edu/Sadie — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today!
