What happens when faith collides with real-world chaos?In this powerful episode of No Longer Nomads, host Josh Doyle sits down with Jamie Winship—former DC police officer, State Department operative, and founder of Identity Exchange—for a raw, story-driven conversation about identity, fear, and hearing God’s voice in high-stakes moments.

Jamie shares gripping firsthand stories from his time as a police officer, including a chilling kidnapping case that changed how he understood God’s guidance forever. From de-escalating violent situations to confronting fear at its root, Jamie unpacks how learning to hear God’s voice isn’t mystical—it’s deeply practical, relational, and transformative.

Together, Josh and Jamie explore:

• What it really means to find your true identity- Why fear is the greatest barrier to healing, reconciliation, and growth
• How truth-telling unlocks freedom in individuals and communities- Lessons from decades of work across the Middle East and the U.S.
• Why Jesus focused more on healing people than fixing problems
• How faith shows up in law enforcement, leadership, and everyday life

Jamie also reflects on his book Living Fearless, and why overcoming fear—rather than managing behavior—is central to spiritual transformation.This episode is full of unforgettable stories, profound insights, and practical wisdom for anyone navigating faith, leadership, conflict, or personal growth.
