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...
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 oft...
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 ...
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 ma...
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 jus...

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—ti...
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 conversa...
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 wom...
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...
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 j...
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 ...
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...
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, advo...
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...
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: p...

Maybe you’ve been hurt, betrayed, or even excluded. Maybe you’ve told yourself, "I don’t do female friends," because the pain of past relationships still lingers. Although you may not realize it, the root of this mindset is insecurity. But, despite your past experience, I need y...
