Genesis: The Past Made Present (featuring Jamie & Donna Winship)

In Genesis: Ancient Origins of Modern Identity, Jamie and Donna explore how humanity's fundamental understanding of identity, connection, and purpose traces back to the foundational stories Moses told the Israelites in the wilderness. Drawing from their decades of cross-cultural ministry and the profound transformations they witnessed in places like Indonesia, the West Bank, and beyond, the teaching duo examines how the Genesis narratives reveal two competing worldviews that continue to shape human experience today. Through the stories of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, and Abraham, students discover the critical difference between living from a "separation worldview" rooted in scarcity, fear, and self-protection versus embracing the "connection worldview" that recognizes our true identity as co-creators with God. The course delves deep into the practical mechanics of identity formation, the role of fear and truth-telling in transformation, and the profound difference between operating from false versus true identity. Through compelling modern examples—from Indonesian house staff to Palestinian peace-builders to Texas inmates—Jamie and Donna demonstrate how these ancient patterns play out in contemporary contexts, offering participants a roadmap for moving from survival-based living to thriving in their God-given identity as agents of connection, reconciliation, and blessing to the world.
