The Jamie & Donna Winship Podcast

In this powerful Part 1 teaching, Jamie Winship dives deep into the Beatitudes as the preamble to living in God's Kingdom—right here, right now. Jesus begins with a stunning invitation: "Blessed are the poor in spirit" (or "the empty ones"), for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Discover why true innovation, creativity, and hearing God's voice start with emptying yourself of fear, guilt, shame, anxiety about money, reputation, control, and self-protection. Jamie explains how these blocks prevent us from receiving from God and giving the unique gift of our identity to the world.Through contemplative prayer and the identity exchange process, learn to ask the Lord:"What blocks me from receiving from You?"Once empty, "What did You make me to be sad about?" (Because godly sadness is rooted in love and compassion—leading to passion, comfort, and action.)Jamie shares personal insights as a "militant peacemaker" who unravels knots in stuck situations, and how mourning for injustice becomes the doorway to comfort and purpose. This is the foundation for becoming fully yourself—resilient, whole, and ready to live fearlessly in the Kingdom.If you're feeling stuck, trapped by fear, or searching for your true calling, this message will challenge and inspire you to get empty, embrace godly mourning, and step into the life Jesus describes.Part of a series on the Beatitudes and the creative process.  Identity Exchange is a training agency that helps individuals and teams discover new levels of creativity and resiliency within the framework of true identity.Live fearlessly in your true identity. For resources, courses, coaching, and training.

In this engaging conversation, Jamie and Donna Winship share insights from their recent travels and trainings in places like Istanbul and Amman, where they witnessed profound fear, conflict, and uncertainty amid global unrest. Drawing from Scripture and their decades of working in high-conflict areas, they reveal how fear is learned (not innate), rooted in false beliefs about scarcity, powerlessness, and separation from God and others. The antidote? Embracing life's inherent mystery—not as something to control or blame away, but as an opportunity to live in perfect love that casts out fear. Through true identity in Christ, reconciliation across divides (even bringing Israelis, Palestinians, Russians, Ukrainians, and more into one room), and small acts of other-focused love, we can persevere with joy, build resilient communities, and bless the world—even in catastrophe. Discover practical steps to unlearn fear, hear God's voice in old wounds, and choose love over violence in every decision.
