Donna Winship has spent decades learning what it means to hear God, live from true identity, and choose connection over fear—not just in theory, but while raising a family and working in some of the most dangerous, war-torn regions of the world. Through high-stakes experiences, failure, miracles, and unexpected redemption, those principles transformed the trajectory of their lives.
Today, Donna and her husband Jamie bring what they learned to leaders across government, professional sports, business, education, law enforcement, and beyond. In this conversation, Donna shares what those experiences taught her about identity, transformation, hearing God—and raising children who learn to hear Him for themselves.
