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...

Most of us have spent years building our confidence on insecure foundations; things like our achievements, our appearance, and people’s opinions. But real, unshakable confidence can only be built on one foundation: faith in God. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurity, doubt, or feeling like you’re not enough—this conversation is for you. I'm joined by my good friend, Dr. DeeDee Freeman, a woman of faith, strength, and undeniable confidence. Join us as we learn how to see ourselves the way ...

Studies show that increased social media use is directly linked to lower self-esteem, higher anxiety, and even depression—especially among young adults and teens. The American Psychological Association reports that excessive social media consumption can distort our self-perception and increase feelings of inadequacy. But here’s the truth: Social media is a tool—it’s not the enemy. The real battle is how we use it and how we allow it to shape our sense of worth. So today, we’re diving deep int...

Have you ever felt like you’re just not enough? Not smart enough, not successful enough, not worthy enough? In a world that constantly tells us we need to do more, be more, and have more, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing the lie, "I’m not enough." But here’s the truth: That lie is designed to keep you stuck, small, and scared. Today, we’re dismantling that deception and stepping into the truth that you were created with divine purpose, equipped with everything you need to thrive.

In a world where social media gives us a front-row seat to everyone else’s highlight reel, it’s easy to feel like we’re falling behind. But what if I told you that comparison isn’t just unhelpful—it’s toxic? My guest today is a Grammy-winning artist, a scholar, and now an author whose latest book challenges us to climb higher—not by looking at others, but by looking within...Jonathan McReynolds!

We live in a world that constantly tells us to measure ourselves against someone else—whether it’s their success, their appearance, their influence, or even their faith journey. The truth is, God never called us to live in the shadow of someone else’s purpose. He called us to live fully and joyfully in the assignment He has given us. Joining me to unpack this is my dear friend, powerhouse Bible teacher, and best-selling author, Priscilla Shirer!

After more than a year of carrying this message around the United States and internationally, I can say with complete confidence that rejection is the most common form of human trauma. But, there is hope and healin...

Today I want to tackle an aspect of rejection that doesn’t get talked about enough and that is how rejection shapes identity. There are people walking this earth who genuinely believe that the reason they do what they do is because it’s just who they are, not realizing that the reason they do what they do is because of rejection pain.

It is human nature to experience rejection and think something is wrong with us because of another person’s choice, but my hope is that we will begin to seek God for wisdom on how to make rejection serve his purpose for us. And, today, I am joined by my good friend and special guest, Christine Caine, whose entire life is a case study in how to do this with grace.Order my new book The Gift of Rejection here:https://www.nonajones.com/books/the-g...
