    How to Build a Legacy of Faith: A Real-Life Conversation with My Mom and Daughters

    How to Build a Legacy of Faith: A Real-Life Conversation with My Mom and Daughters

    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!

    How to Handle Comparison God’s Way with Donna Jones

    How to Handle Comparison God’s Way with Donna Jones

    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.

    Conquering the Green-Eyed Monster: How to Overcome Jealousy and Comparison with Donna Jones

    Are jealousy and comparison stealing your joy and sabotaging your relationships?
    This week, we unpack the emotion that gnaws at our contentment and learn how to navigate its tricky waters. "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life" has already touched countless lives with its wisdom on conflict resolution, and now we're diving into insights on jealousy because jealousy can incite conflict with others and within our souls. Discover the ten signs that signal when envy has a grip on you, and learn the strategies to manage these feelings in a faith-aligned, relationship-strengthening way. This conversation is not just about identifying the problem but equipping you with the tools to foster healthier interactions and personal growth.
    We’ll reflect on King Saul's destructive jealousy of David and how such emotions can cloud our judgment. It's a heartfelt call to self-reflection and nurturing a peaceful heart, aiming to release you from the toxic pull of envy. I also provide practical steps to handle insecurity and avoid comparison traps, ensuring that our social media interactions are supportive, not triggering. Get ready for a journey towards a more contented life, free from the shackles of jealousy.

    The Lies We Belive and Our Identity in Christ Can Set Us Free with Dr. JP Jones

    The Lies We Belive and Our Identity in Christ Can Set Us Free with Dr. JP Jones

    Unlock the secrets of your true purpose and potential as my pastor and husband, Dr. JP Jones joins me in a profound exploration of identity in Christ. 
    JP often says, “The truest thing about you is what God says is true.” In my experience, most of us nod our heads in agreement with this but find it hard to believe in real life. Instead, we believe what others say about us, what culture tells us, or what our experiences dictate. As a result, we live in bondage–oftentimes completely unaware of just how shackled we are!
    This episode is a journey toward spiritual emancipation, where we discuss not just the liberating power of grace and truth but also the practice of internalizing these gifts to free ourselves from the crippling weights of guilt, shame, and the lies we believe about ourselves. JP shares pearls of wisdom from his book "Facing Goliath," guiding us through the importance of framing our belief systems in alignment with the infallible truth of Scripture. 
    Together, we address the victories, the challenges, and the unyielding love that comes with being reborn in Christ—empowering you to walk in the fullness of the freedom and authority bestowed upon you as a beloved child of God.

    Many women struggle with emotional eating at some point in their lives. It can become easy to turn to food when we’re sad, lonely, angry, or bored. In today's episode, I chatted with Danna Demetre, author and registered nurse, who helped us unlock the secrets to a healthier relationship with food. 
    Listen in to discover how to gain control over emotional eating and liberate yourself from guilt and self-condemnation. We dive into Dana's transformative study, "Beyond Emotional Eating: Spiritual Steps to Gain Control Over Food," and learn how integrating our faith can be the key to wholeness in every aspect of life. Shame can be a shackle, but this episode is about breaking free from habits that keep us stuck!
