In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Walden — founder of Omega Dynamics, former Marine infantryman, police officer, firefighter/paramedic, missionary, and resilience trainer — for a powerful conversation about faith, discernment, and navigating uncertain times.

We begin by discussing unusual global weather patterns and why many people are paying closer attention to environmental shifts happening around the world.

Jamie shares how he views these changes through a biblical worldview and why conversations around awareness, preparedness, and spiritual grounding are becoming more relevant.

We also explore the long tradition of watching for “signs in the heavens,” and how faith communities have historically interpreted natural events, cultural shifts, and global instability as reminders to stay spiritually anchored and discerning.

More than anything, this conversation centers on how to remain steady when the world feels uncertain. Jamie speaks about spiritual resilience, overcoming fear-driven narratives, and strengthening faith, family, and community as the foundation for navigating whatever lies ahead.

Important note:
To keep this episode YouTube-friendly, I had to make careful edits and remove portions of our discussion. If you notice transitions in the conversation, that’s where deeper sections were cut.

I strongly encourage you to listen to the full, unedited conversation on the Waiola Plus Side on Patreon, where we go much deeper into the topics discussed here.

If you want the complete context and the full experience of this conversation, that’s where you’ll find it.
