The Jamie & Donna Winship Podcast

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.

God Still Speaks: How to Hear His Voice Today

In this heartfelt and insightful conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship explore one of the most important truths in the Bible: the living God speaks. Drawing from Scripture (Psalms, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Habakkuk, Genesis, Hebrews, and more), they contrast the silent idols humans create with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — the God who sees, hears, and responds. Donna shares her Jewish upbringing, the deep meaning of the Sh’ma (“Hear, O Israel”), and how that one word could have changed her life. Both Jamie and Donna open up about their first powerful experiences of God communicating with them — one in a movie theater, another through a spiritual vision on a dark walk back to a dorm room. If you’ve ever wondered: - Does God still speak today? - What does “hearing God’s voice” actually mean? - How can I learn to recognize when He’s talking to me? …this video is for you. Whether you grew up with a “silent God” view of Christianity or you’re just beginning to explore faith, Jamie and Donna offer encouragement, biblical truth, and practical hope that the same God who spoke to Abraham still speaks to us.
