n the middle of the Iraq War, while living in Baghdad, Jamie and Donna Winship found themselves teaching English to Iraqi professionals — including a high-ranking military Colonel who had fought against American forces.
What started as deep hostility and death threats turned into an extraordinary friendship through one simple, obedient act of love prompted by God. Hear how Jamie’s response of “God loves you… and I love you too” opened the door to reconciliation, vulnerability, shared prayer, and ultimately a miracle for a couple who believed they were cursed.
This powerful testimony reveals:
How to respond to hostility with listening prayer instead of retaliation
The life-changing question: “God, what do you want me to know?”
What it really means to love your enemies as the Prince of Peace
How human connection and restoration can happen even between “enemies” during war
Jamie and Donna share raw, hope-filled stories from their years in conflict zones and how the same principles apply to our everyday conflicts — in families, workplaces, communities, and beyond.
If you’re facing relational tension, fear, or feeling stuck in “enemy” thinking, this episode will challenge and encourage you to step into the Kingdom way of restoration.
The prayer that changed everything: “God, what do you want me to know? What do you want me to do?”
