About this episode
Join Me, Megan Ashley for a transformative episode as we welcome back Nona Jones , our first repeat guest, to share her journey from a thriving executive role to embracing full-time ministry. Nona opens up about the challenges of redefining her identity beyond her career and how leaving behind a steady paycheck deepened her faith and reliance on God. We discuss living out your faith daily, especially when God's plans take unexpected turns, and explore how ministry can extend beyond the church into every aspect of life, including the marketplace. Nona's personal reflections highlight the power of faith to guide us and draw others to inquire about Christianity. The conversation also delves into the topic of rejection. Nona shares insights from her book The Gift of Rejection: Harness Your Pain to Propel Your Purpose , explaining how rejection—often seen as a form of trauma—can be transformed into a gift when stewarded well. Drawing from biblical stories like David and Joseph, we explore how rejection can lead to greater purpose, offering strength, healing, and growth through faith.
