Best of StRest: Faith Mission Gone Wrong? Donna Winship on Prison, Persecution, and How God Showed Up

Description

This is StRest! In this episode, Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Donna Winship, co-founder of Identity Exchange, for a profound and transformative conversation about fear, faith, and the power of knowing who you truly are in God. From her early years as a Jewish girl who knew nothing about Jesus to becoming a wife, mother, and spiritual leader navigating life in war zones and foreign cultures, Donna shares her remarkable story of surrender, suffering, and supernatural peace.

Through decades of missionary work in the Muslim world—including time in Indonesia and the Middle East—Donna and her husband, Jamie, were forced to confront the limits of traditional evangelism. Violence, arrests, and near-death experiences forced them to reimagine how to share Jesus—not by converting others to Christianity, but by inviting them to follow Jesus into the Kingdom of God. What emerged was a new way of life centered on listening to God, embracing identity, and exchanging lies for divine truth.

Kerstin and Donna go deep into how stress manifests as false identity, how to sit with God and ask the right questions, and why spiritual transformation starts not with doing more, but with being known. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling unworthy, powerless, or unsure of your purpose—this episode is for you.
