Defending Our Children with Jamie Walden
Jamie Walden grew up in Moline, Illinois, in a Christian home, where his parents instilled a strong biblical foundation. Despite facing trials within his family and a rebellious adolescence filled with injuries and legal trouble, Jamie remained committed to his dream of becoming a U.S. Marine. After being nominated to the National Youth Leadership Forum and receiving a nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy, he chose to enlist directly in the Marine Corps Infantry, fulfilling his childhood ambition.
His service during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 shaped his leadership skills and spiritual growth. After leaving the Marines, Jamie earned a double major in Law Enforcement and History. However, during this time, he experienced a radical spiritual transformation, surrendering fully to Jesus Christ.
In 2007, Jamie married Virginia, and they had three children. He pursued a career in Federal Law Enforcement, interning with the U.S. Marshals Service and being recruited by a government agency. However, feeling a strong call from God, Jamie shifted his focus to a life of service to the Kingdom of God. This led to various roles as a police officer, paramedic, and firefighter, while deepening his understanding of biblical prophecy.
In 2014, Jamie returned to Iraq to assist Christians suffering under ISIS. This experience further ignited his passion for ministry. Eventually, Jamie and his family committed to full-time ministry, serving for two years in the Dominican Republic before returning to the U.S.
Jamie now dedicates his life to challenging and equipping Christians to embrace their faith boldly, inspiring a “Warrior Class” of believers to rise and walk in victory through Christ.
