The Jamie & Donna Winship Podcast

Overcoming Shame: Renew Your Mind & Hear God's Voice Again

Feeling blocked from hearing God? Like something’s wrong with you? You’re not alone — and it’s not the truth. In this powerful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship unpack how **shame** (not guilt) quietly sabotages our connection with God. They explore the lie that God is disappointed in us, the four major sources of shame, and how the enemy uses it to rob us of our voice, authority, and destiny. Using the powerful “Internal Operating System” analogy, they walk through: - Renewing your mind (Romans 12:1-2) - The check-in process (Truth → Confession → Mind Change → Form Change) - Biblical stories of God meeting people in their shame (Adam & Eve, Hagar) - How Jesus took our shame on the cross so we could walk in freedom Discover how to let God search your heart, reinterpret painful memories, and receive the true identity He speaks over you — a beautiful diamond blazing with the light of heaven. 🔥 Shame doesn’t get the last word.

Fear Is the Great Connector

What if the greatest connector between human beings isn’t love… but fear? In this powerful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship (Identity Exchange) reveal why asking one simple question — “What are you afraid of right now?” — creates deeper intimacy, vulnerability, and connection than almost anything else. From boardrooms to family dinners, and even between housed people and the homeless, they share how talking about real, present fears breaks down walls, humanizes everyone in the room, and opens the door to genuine relationship. They also explore the powerful biblical truth that “Do not be afraid” is God’s most repeated command — and how Jesus steps directly into our fear with His peace. You’ll discover: - Why love is often too hard or abstract to connect on - How sharing fear leads to truth-telling and transformation - The moving story of a dinner where the “secure” and “insecure” completely switched roles - How to use this in your marriage, family, workplace, and friendships - The daily practice of exchanging fear for God’s peace Identity Exchange is a training agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.

Stop Begging God to Speak – Deal With Fear and Unforgiveness First

In this powerful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship unpack the two biggest obstacles that keep us from clearly hearing God’s voice: fear and unforgiveness. Drawing from Scripture (Isaiah 26:3, Ephesians 1, 1 John 3, Matthew 18) and their real-life experiences, they share how perfect peace comes when our minds are fixed on Jesus, and how forgiveness is not optional—it’s the very oxygen of the Kingdom of God. You’ll hear the remarkable story of Jamie being publicly spit on in a hostile university classroom overseas, his internal battle, and how choosing radical forgiveness (even giving money to the man who humiliated him) broke open a stronghold and released the Kingdom in powerful ways. Discover: Why fear is the #1 exhortation in Scripture (“Do not fear” appears over 365 times) How unforgiveness (including self-unforgiveness) blocks your prayer life and authority The freedom that comes when you cancel the debt and walk in the forgiveness already given to you through the cross Practical prayers to keep the channel open with God Identity Exchange is a training agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.

Why Fear Keeps You From Hearing God’s Voice

In this honest and practical conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship share one of their earliest experiences of truly listening to God together — right after Jamie received a dream job offer from the State Department while he was still a police officer. What started as a simple career decision became a powerful lesson in hearing God’s voice, stepping out in faith, and discovering that the biggest obstacle to hearing Him isn’t that God isn’t speaking… it’s our fear of what He might ask us to do. They open up about their different fears (provision, safety, what people would think), how projecting worst-case scenarios into the future creates anxiety instead of peace, and why decisions made from fear always lead to conflict while decisions made from God’s peace lead to deeper relationship with Him. You’ll also hear how they learned to ask specific questions, wait for clear answers, and follow God step by step — even when it meant walking away from financial security and heading into the unknown with young children. If you’ve ever felt stuck wondering, “Why can’t I hear God?” or if fear keeps you from stepping into what you sense He’s inviting you into, this video will encourage and equip you. Fear is not a stop sign — it’s an invitation to go deeper with the Lord who is always speaking.
