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 through

If 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.

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 happens

Scripture 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 in

Why so many high-achievers chase success as a proxy for love

The patterns trauma produces (people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, emotional withdrawal)

Boundaries, self-respect, and why loving people doesn’t mean protecting everyone

Why healing is possible: the brain can rewire and the heart can heal

This 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.

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 free

If 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.

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.
