In this candid conversation, Brandon Woolum sits down with Jamie MacDonald as she prepares to release her self-titled debut album, arriving January 23. Jamie opens up about the deeply personal journey behind the record—sharing how songwriting has become a space for healing, surrender, and rediscovering her identity in Christ.

Jamie reflects on her latest single, “My Family,” and the ongoing lesson of releasing shame, control, and brokenness to God. She speaks honestly about learning to ground herself in Scripture, writing songs as reminders of who God says she is, and trusting Him with restoration she once tried to carry alone.

The conversation also explores the origins of several unreleased tracks, including a raw demo written years ago that helped spark a new chapter of music and reconciliation with her father. Jamie discusses the unexpected impact of “Desperate,” navigating sudden success born from grief, and how listener connection helped her feel less alone in her hardest season.

Looking ahead, Jamie shares what fans can expect from her first headlining tour, her heart for creating healing moments in live shows, and why community, prayer, and patience have been essential in her recovery and faith journey. It’s an honest, hope-filled interview that captures an artist learning not just how to survive—but how to thrive—by trusting God with her full story.
