The Jamie & Donna Winship Podcast

Want to feel closer to God but something always seems to block you? 
In this powerful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship unpack why so many believers feel distant from God — even though Christ is in you and the Holy Spirit is always present. 
Through a real-life example of a man who struggled during his prayer walks, they reveal how negative emotions (like frustration and anger) are actually invitations from God to find hidden lies we’ve believed since childhood.
You’ll discover:
• Why anger is almost always a secondary emotion rooted in fear
• How a single childhood moment can create a false identity that blocks intimacy with God
• The simple process of going back with Jesus to the memory where the lie began
• How letting Jesus reinterpret your painful memories brings instant freedom and deeper connection with God
This isn’t about trying harder to reach God — it’s about removing the lies that make you think He’s far away.

In this eye-opening conversation, Jamie & Donna Winship reveal the powerful truth hidden in Genesis: shame is not from God—it's the result of stepping into a false identity built on lies, doubt, and separation from what's true about you and Him.
They walk through the Garden story—how Eve moved from living in her God-given true identity to believing deceptions about God's goodness, her worth, and the need to self-protect. This shift created fear, guilt, shame, and conflict—the same patterns many of us experience today from childhood wounds, trauma, comparison, or performance-based living.
The good news? God pursues us even in our hiding. He covers our shame (just as He did for Adam and Eve) and invites us to exchange lies for truth through honest confession and listening prayer: "What feels true to you right now? What do You want me to know about that?"
Jamie & Donna Winship show how this simple, biblical process leads to healing, peace, and fearless living in your original design—free from self-condemnation and radical individualism.
Perfect if you've ever felt "not good enough," ashamed, or stuck in fear. Discover the path back to your true self!

Jamie and Donna Winship share raw, powerful stories from their lives—including losing everything in a market crash, living on $55 with young kids, and experiencing two years of zero income—while God provided in miraculous ways: surprise checks, free food, hidden cash, and more.
This isn't about "getting rich" or quick fixes. It's about moving from a scarcity mindset to true connection with God, community, and your God-given identity. Discover why the fear of not having enough money is often deeper (not being enough or God not being enough), how chasing "empire" money can derail your calling, and why the greatest dreams are on the other side of your biggest fears—when you walk through them with Jesus.

Jamie and Donna Winship answer one of the most common questions they receive: How do you help kids discover their true identity in God? How do you teach them to hear from Him and live fearlessly?
In this heartfelt conversation, Jamie and Donna share practical, life-changing insights drawn from raising their own children and decades of ministry. Discover why children's natural imagination is a superpower for perceiving God's voice (through images, feelings, music, and more)—and how traditional education often trains it out of them. Learn the #1 way to teach kids: model it yourself by receiving from God daily, overflowing with His love instead of striving to "serve" Him out of guilt.
Key takeaways include:
Using the free Daily Affirmation Prayer from Identity Exchange to build truth-filled neural pathways (simplify it for kids!)
Making transformation organic—talk about your own growth openly as you walk through life (inspired by the Shema in Deuteronomy 6)
Integrating faith into everyday moments, not just "family devotions"
Helping kids process fears, bullying, or tough days by taking thoughts captive and asking Jesus, "What do You want me to know?"
The powerful "Favorite Place" exercise for bedtime fears—building safety in Jesus' presence
Exchanging lies (fear, shame, "not good enough") for God's truth in real time
The younger kids learn to live connected to their true identity, the less healing they'll need later. This is the secret to raising resilient, creative children who trust God deeply.

We are challenged to move beyond reptilian, fear-driven responses—conflict, control, violence—and step into the prefrontal cortex of nonviolent, creative thinking, just as Jesus, the Prince of Peace, demonstrated. Profound insights emerge when we consider how to confront violence without using force (as seen, for example, in the story of the demoniac), why the world so often resists genuine peace, and how peacemakers come to be identified with God Himself. The journey leads us to face persecution for righteousness’ sake—not because we are troublemakers, but because we are undivided peacemakers who can even rejoice in suffering. We do so having overcome the fear of death through Christ’s invitation. In this way, everything comes full circle into kingdom living: we create innovative solutions, live fearlessly, and begin to experience resurrection life right here and now.
