If you’ve ever had a conversation where you’ve walked away thinking, “Wow! That was just what I needed”, you know you felt encouraged, learned a thing or two, laughed, and maybe even felt a bit challenged.
Author, national speaker, and pastor’s wife, Donna Jones provides life-giving “that’s just what I needed” conversations to help you know, love, and follow God in the midst of real-life--the one with daily demands and crazy cultural chaos. Sometimes she’ll welcome a guest we can learn from; sometimes the conversation will be just her and you.
But, Donna’s hope is that each conversation will be exactly what you need.

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.

Donna

A Journey to Balance Food, Emotions, and the Soul with Danna Demetre
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!

Our conversation is a testament to the beauty of tears, the value of tools, and the power of personal growth. Join us for an episode that promises to be just as enlightening as it is, validating the sensitive spirit within us all.

Finding Hope and Joy in the Midst of Hardship
What an encouragement! It is so important as believers to not give up on sharing our personal testimonies of how God shows up. Love your podcast, thank you for being faithful and providing a platform that leads us to Him and His Word in the midst of our dark valleys.
Ever so Thankful
Donna is an absolute inspiration for me. Her Bible knowledge is amazing and so practical. The scriptures she teaches on are so powerful and yet perfect for the day or season I’m walking through. I have cried, laughed, and rejoiced listening to this podcast. I encourage everyone to put on God’s word daily and this is a great place to start!
Best way to start the day!
I listen to this podcast every morning and it feels like I’m getting advice from a motherly friend. I got my mom into this podcast and it has been changing our conversations and has brought us closer. I have learned to be a better wife, friend, youth leader, and person. When I finally listen to all the episodes, I’ll definitely be starting over! Can’t recommend this podcast enough!!
