What does it look like to pursue peace and wholeness in a world that often feels chaotic and disconnected? Join Elizabeth Woodson and Yana Jenay Conner—two friends and Bible teachers—as they laugh, dig into Scripture for direction and hope, and get real about what God’s peace looks like in everyday life.

Each week, they’ll dive into honest conversations about discipleship, friendship, forgiveness, and the often persuasive yet misleading calls of culture—and how the theology of shalom reshapes it all.

Come for the laughter, stay for the wisdom, and leave with a deeper vision of what it means to live a life of wholeness in a broken world.

    Shalom + Work
    Dec 10 2025
    In this episode of Shalomies, Yana Jenay sits down with her friend and mentor, LaToya King, Chief Operating Officer of the Triangle Community Foundation, for a rich conversation about what it means to pursue shalom in our everyday work. LaToya shares her story and the experiences that shaped her calling, as well as the Scriptures and beliefs that guide how she leads and serves.

    Together, they explore how so much meaningful ministry can happen outside of church walls and why it can be difficult for believers to see their jobs as part of God’s mission to restore wholeness in the world. LaToya speaks candidly about the challenges of living out faith in settings where values aren’t always shared—including how she navigates conflict, maintains integrity, and seeks the good of the communities she serves.

    Throughout the episode, LaToya offers wisdom for working with intentionality: approaching our roles not simply as tasks to complete, but as opportunities to seek the welfare of the city through presence, excellence, compassion, and courage.

    This conversation is an invitation to see your work—whatever it is—as a place where God is present and active, forming you and using you to bring shalom to the world.

    Key Scriptures:
    • Jeremiah 29:7
    • Matthew 22:36-40
    • Romans 12:2

    Questions Covered In This Episode:

    1. What beliefs or passages of Scripture guide your approach to your work?
    2. It’s been said that most ministry happens outside of the walls of the church. Would you agree with this statement? If so, why?
    3. Why do we struggle to see work outside of the church’s walls as a part of God’s mission to restore shalom?
    4. One of the benefits of working in a church setting is that there is a shared biblical worldview, work ethic, and code of conduct. Even if we people stray, we have the Scriptures as a shared text to draw people back to. The same is not true outside of the walls of the church. What have been some of the challenges you faced when it comes to living out your faith at work?
    5. How do you navigate conflict at work?

  • Shalomies: Shalom + Singleness

    Shalomies: Shalom + Singleness
    Nov 26 2025
    In this candid and compassionate conversation, Elizabeth Woodson and Yana Conner explore the complexities, beauty, and challenges of Christian singleness. Drawing from their own experiences as single women, they dismantle harmful church messages, unpack common misconceptions, and offer a biblical vision of singleness that is rooted in purpose, dignity, and Shalom. They discuss the emotional realities of longing, grief, and sexual frustration, while emphasizing the spiritual maturity and sanctification that singleness invites—not as a waiting room for marriage, but as a life stage full of God-given agency, calling, and joy.

    Elizabeth and Yana also challenge churches to better support single adults through belonging, inclusion, and genuine family, rather than centering marriage as the pinnacle of Christian life. Their message is clear: Shalom—wholeness, peace, and flourishing—is available to singles right now because it flows from connection to Christ, not relationship status. With honesty, humor, and theological depth, this episode offers hope and a fresh imagination for what faithful, flourishing singleness can be.

    Key Scriptures:
    • Psalm 16:5-8
    • Psalm 22:1
    • Psalm 37:4
    • John 10:10

    Questions Covered In This Episode:
    1. What misconceptions or misplaced perspectives about singleness prevent believers from experiencing shalom?
    2. How can singles live fully in God’s wholeness without “waiting” for another life stage?
    3. How can the church better embody shalom for singles in its community life?
    4. Where are you experiencing longing?
    5. How could your current [single] season be leveraged for unique kingdom impact?
