What is Heartfelt? Heartfelt, is a Titus 2 women’s ministry founded by Joneal Kirby in 2003 for her home church in West Monroe, Louisiana. Heartfelt is a mentoring ministry designed to develop closer relationships across generations among the women in the church and to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Heartfelt Friends is for women of all ages and stages – from 18 to 108!
We are moms and daughters, sisters, friends. We are all friends who become family.
♥ Our goal is a closer walk with God.
♥ Our vision is to encourage and build faith in the next generation of Christian women.
♥ Our mission is to pass on the legacy of faith and family to the next generation.
There is no room for lonely in the church! Making deeper, more authentic connections is what we are all about. No one should go through life alone during good times or bad. We are put into a church fellowship for a reason: to share life, to bear burdens, to share cares, to build one another’s faith, to provide support in our family’s life, to share this journey of faith in Jesus.
Heartfelt Ministries has several ways to reach our mission. Heartfelt Friends, our local & national events, and through our bible studies and Facebook groups. Please join us in one or all of these areas to grow your faith and pass it to the next generation.
“Teach the older women to be reverent in the way that they live… to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.”
Dr. Joneal Kirby is a nationally recognized women’s ministry leader, speaker, and counselor with over 40 years of experience. With a Ph.D. in marital and family therapy and a strong background in education and counseling, she understands both the emotional and spiritual needs of women across all stages of life.
Through decades of hands-on experience, Dr. Kirby has discovered the key to a thriving women’s ministry: the right structure, ongoing support, and a multigenerational approach. That’s exactly what her highly successful program, Heartfelt Friends, provides. Designed for churches of all sizes, Heartfelt helps women—from young professionals and busy moms to elderly widows—form deep, Christ-centered relationships through regular small-group gatherings and intentional mentoring.
Churches that implement the Heartfelt Friends model report remarkable growth in both attendance and spiritual maturity. Dr. Kirby walks alongside each ministry leader, offering tailored guidance, personal consultations, and a library of resources to ensure long-term success.
Before dedicating her life to full-time ministry, Dr. Kirby worked as a school counselor, principal, and private therapist. Her extensive academic and professional background gives her a unique ability to lead, teach, and inspire women in every season of life.
Today, Dr. Kirby continues her ministry work through speaking engagements, her podcast and blog, a daily radio show Heartfelt Radio (with a listening audience of over 100,000), and her previous TV program, Girlfriends. She also actively teaches Bible classes and leads women’s and marriage ministries at WFR Church in West Monroe, Louisiana.
Heartfelt Friends is now used in churches across the United States and around the world—including congregations in Europe, Africa, and South America. Whether you're just beginning or seeking to strengthen your women's ministry, Dr. Kirby is ready to help you build a Christ-centered program that truly transforms lives.
