 

Have you ever felt out of place in women’s friendships, even within the church? You’re not alone. My guest, Natalie Runion—author of I Don’t Even Like Women and Other Lies that Get in the Way of Sacred Sisterhood—shares her honest journey from feeling disconnected to finding purpose in women’s ministry. Together, we explore how authentic connection and encouragement can break down barriers of competition and replace them with collaboration.

From the beauty of multi-generational friendships to the role of encouragement in sisterhood, Natalie reminds us that humility and honesty are game changers. This conversation offers hope, practical wisdom, and a roadmap for cultivating real, life-giving friendships rooted in faith.

And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.

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.
