Meet Enda

Hey, y’all! I like helping folks a whole lot more than talking about myself. Seriously, I can talk with someone all day about what they are carrying or the decision in front of them. Ask me to sit down and write an About page, and I have to take a minute. So here goes…

I am Enda Jones. A small town Midwest girl with a big heart and dreams. I am an author, a speaker, and the founder of Courage to Go™. I have spent a good part of my life leading in nonprofit work, education, and public service. I have made decisions with people counting on me, walked through seasons I did not see coming, and learned that being responsible does not mean having every answer.

My faith has been with me through all of it. I am grateful to God for Jesus. His sacrifice on Calvary will always be the first thing I thank Him for. My faith shapes how I love my family, make decisions, and walk through the things I did not plan for. I am still learning to trust God in everyday life, including the days when I have questions and can only see the next step.

That is part of what I bring to my writing and speaking. I care about the woman who has a lot on her plate and still wants to hear God clearly and do what is hers to do. Sometimes we need to talk through the big decision. And then there are times we need to take the next step right in front of us.

Either way, I am glad you stopped by.

THE STORY

The Story Behind Courage to Go™

Long before there was a podcast, a website, or even Courage to Go™, I was learning what it meant to trust God in the places where fear, disappointment, identity, and real life collided. Writing Taking Courage: My Journey to Freedom gave me language for some of that journey. But over time, I began to understand that taking courage wasn’t only about what I had come through. Courage would continue to meet me in the everyday realities of life—in what I was learning, carrying, pursuing, questioning, and trusting God through.

That understanding became Courage to Go™—a place for Biblical encouragement, practical wisdom, and honest conversations about faith, courage, and real life.

Courage to Go didn’t begin as a business idea. Courage had already become part of my story.

Life Behind the Work

When I am not writing, speaking, or working, I am a wife to Timothy, a mom, and Noni to Mulan. I love being with my family, especially in the ordinary moments that nobody planned. We might be laughing together, going somewhere just because, or simply being at home with the people I love.

FAITH | FAMILY | COURAGE

I love to travel and I am usually up for a good road trip. Give me a beach, a walking trail, or even a ride on a four-wheeler with Timothy, and I am happy to go. I do a tad bit of gardening too. But I am still a city girl adjusting to all the critters that come with living in Mississippi. Country life has suited me well, though.

There is also a creative side of me that has always loved theater. I have had the opportunity to be part of stage productions myself, and those are experiences I still smile about.
Well, now you know a little more about me. Come hang out with me on social media, where you will find Courage to Go™, everyday life, family, and whatever else I happen to be talking about that day. I would love to stay connected.
