If you’re ready to dig deeper, challenge assumptions, and pursue biblical truth with humility, this episode is for you."Don’t be afraid to question, to wrestle, to unlearn. That’s how we grow." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Real-Time Clarifications & Honest Reflection: Host Tim Winders dives into questions and feedback from listeners, openly addresses potential mistakes, and offers clarifications on key biblical concepts—a rare, transparent look into how spiritual understanding evolves.Context is Everything: This episode reveals why reading the Bible in its historical context, especially around the Old and New Covenant overlap, changes how everything “makes sense”—challenging assumptions that many never question.Inside the Social Media Firestorm: Tim shares wild responses from his social media posts (including heated rapture debates, support messages, and even accusations of heresy), giving you an unfiltered peek into the real-life reactions sparked by re-examining longstanding theology.Key Lessons:Humility in Teaching and Learning - Tim emphasizes the importance of humility, acknowledging that it’s powerful for teachers and leaders to say, "I may have messed up." The episode models openness to correction, growth, and the willingness to revisit and clarify complex topics.Understanding Context Is Critical - A recurring theme is the necessity of reading the Bible—especially the Old and New Testaments—in their proper historical and cultural contexts. Tim shares that much confusion and doctrinal disagreement comes from taking verses or teachings out of context.Transition Between Old and New Covenants - Tim clarifies the nuanced overlap between the Old and New Covenants, underscoring that while Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant at the cross, the physical temple system remained until AD 70. This period of transition is key to understanding New Testament writings and early church tensions.Confronting Fear-Based Theology - The episode calls out the dangers of fear-based interpretations like rapture theology, highlighting how such doctrines can create anxiety and misunderstanding. Instead, Tim advocates for a faith rooted in peace, confidence in Christ’s finished work, and healthy dialogue—even when facing opposition or criticism.Christ Is Enough—Resting in Reconciliation - Drawing on Paul’s letter to the Colossians, Tim drives home the message that Christ is all and in all, and that everything is being reconciled through Him.

What if everything you’ve heard about the “end times” is based on a misunderstanding—and the prophecies of Jesus, Paul, and John were actually fulfilled long ago? In this thought-provoking episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders challenges popular beliefs about Revelation, the rapture, and the end of the world, offering a fresh perspective rooted in history and scripture. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear or confusion about the Bible’s most controversial prophecies, tune in to discover how letting go of doom-and-gloom interpretations can open the door to living confidently in the Kingdom—right now."We are here expanding and building the kingdom of God, not waiting for an escape." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Discover a Bold New Perspective: The episode challenges the traditional view of end times and offers a thought-provoking historical context that might radically shift how you read Revelation and New Testament prophecy.Find Freedom from Fear: If you've ever felt anxiety or confusion about the future, you'll learn how reframing "end times" prophecies can replace dread with confidence and purpose for living in the kingdom now.Uncover Hidden Layers in Scripture: Tim explores how understanding the first-century audience and their context can unlock fresh meaning in the Bible—potentially changing the way you see your own faith journey.Key Lessons:The “End Times” Already Happened - Tim challenges the common belief that the end times prophecies in the New Testament refer to our future. Instead, he presents compelling evidence that these prophecies referred to events that occurred within a generation of Jesus’ life, specifically culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70.Fear-Based End Times Teachings Are Misguided - A lot of spiritual panic and fear in modern Christianity is rooted in sensationalized teachings and media around rapture and apocalypse. Tim argues that much of this stems from a misunderstanding of scripture and a misapplication of historical context.Understanding Audience and Context Matters - The messages found in the New Testament were directed to audiences living at that time. Misreading those messages as if they were written directly for us today distorts the original meaning and intent, leading to confusion about the Bible’s message.We Now Live in God’s Kingdom - According to Tim, the destruction of the temple marked the end of the Old Covenant and the full arrival of the New Covenant. Christians are called to operate as citizens in God’s kingdom now, focusing on restoration, presence, and partnership with Christ rather than survival or escapism.The Bible’s Message Is Hope, Not Doom - The narrative of scripture is ultimately about God’s fulfillment, restoration, and the invitation to live abundantly in His kingdom.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible was actually written to you—or just for you? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders unpacks why understanding the original audience and first-century context of the New Testament is crucial for truly grasping its message. Dive into the cultural backdrop, real-life tensions, and urgent challenges faced by early believers, and discover how this perspective can transform your faith and bring scripture to life in powerful new ways. If you’ve ever felt confused or disconnected from what you read in the Bible, this eye-opening episode is one you don’t want to miss."If we ignore who the Bible was originally written to, we risk twisting what it actually means." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons To Listen:Unlock the Bible’s Original Context: Discover why understanding who the Bible was originally written to in the first century completely changes its meaning—and how misreading this can lead to distorted theology.Expose Common Misinterpretations: Learn how applying ancient scriptures directly to modern life—especially politics and culture—can result in confusion, fear, and even push people away from the message of Jesus.Rediscover the Kingdom of God: Find out why the “Kingdom of God”—mentioned over a hundred times in the New Testament—is not a side topic, but the central theme often missed in Christian teaching today.Key Lessons:Understanding Biblical Context Is Essential - The Bible was written for us, but not to us. It’s crucial to recognize that the original audience lived in a different time, place, and culture. When we ignore that, we risk misinterpreting or misapplying Scripture.Audience Matters More Than You Think - Every book, letter, and passage had a specific audience facing real issues of their day. Learning who these people were and what they were experiencing helps us better understand the true message behind the text.Most New Testament Writings Happened Within a Narrow Timeline - The bulk of the New Testament was written between AD 45 and AD 70, a period of massive change and tension for the early followers of Jesus—especially as the Old Covenant faded and the New Covenant took hold.Misapplying Scripture Causes Confusion and Harm - Trying to directly apply first-century issues or warnings to modern politics or culture leads to shallow, sometimes damaging theology. Instead, we should seek to understand principles that transcend time, not force-fit ancient texts into today’s headlines.The Kingdom of God Is the Core Message - The Kingdom isn’t a side topic—it’s central to Jesus’ teachings and to the mission of the early church. Recognizing this helps us connect all the threads of the New Testament in a powerful, life-giving way.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Rethinking the Bible's Audience00:59 The Problem with Modern Bible Interpretation02:13 Understanding the First Century Context03:12 My Journey with Biblical Context07:30 The Importance of Audience in Interpretation09:10 Misapplications and Their Consequences13:53 The Timeline of the New Testament17:47 The Significance of AD 7025:08 The Kingdom of God: The Core MessageResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:🎙 Unlock Leadership Excellence with TimTransform your leadership and align your career with your deepest values.

Have you ever felt confused or overwhelmed trying to make sense of the Bible, as if you walked into a movie halfway through and missed the bigger picture? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders shares the eye-opening story of his personal journey to understand the Bible as a cohesive narrative, not just a collection of isolated verses. Discover why the chapters aren’t in chronological order, the pitfalls of pulling scripture out of context, and how seeing the Bible as a story can shift your entire perspective. If you’re ready to rethink how you read the Bible and want practical insight into making it all make sense, this episode is for you."Taking personal responsibility for getting to know and understand the Bible yourself is crucial—don’t just take someone else’s word for it." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Discover the Story Behind the Bible - Learn why reading the Bible as a story—with a beginning, middle, and end—can totally change your understanding, especially since most of us have been taught to read it out of order.Challenge Your Preconceptions - Hear why unlearning old beliefs, questioning popular interpretations, and digging into the context for yourself might lead to “aha” moments you never expected.Unlock Hidden Context & Clarity - Find out how reading the Bible chronologically and understanding the original audience and timelines can help clear up confusion and contradictions that many struggle with.Key Lessons:The Bible Is a Story, Not Just a Collection of Quotes or Rules - Many people approach the Bible as a manual or a series of isolated verses, but understanding it as a continuous, interconnected story with a beginning, middle, and end gives everything deeper meaning and context.Context and Chronological Order Matter - The books and chapters of the Bible aren’t arranged in the order the events actually happened, which can cause confusion. Reading the Bible chronologically—especially the Old Testament—helps the bigger story fall into place and prevents misinterpretation.Personal Responsibility in Understanding - It’s easy to rely on pastors, preachers, or tradition to explain scripture, but it’s our responsibility to study and wrestle with the Bible ourselves. Taking the time for personal study and reflection, even alone, is crucial for genuine understanding.Misusing Scripture Leads to Confusion and Contradiction - Pulling verses out of context or order can cause us to twist their meaning and fuel confusion or even division. When we read the Bible as a narrative and understand its historical and cultural backdrop, seeming contradictions usually disappear.The Central Theme: God’s Kingdom and Restoration - Rather than focusing solely on “getting to heaven,” the overarching theme of the Bible is about God establishing, losing, and restoring His kingdom—bringing humanity back into relationship with Him.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction: Understanding the Bible as a Story00:33 Personal Journey: Unlearning and Relearning02:28 The Matrix Analogy: Seeing Beyond the Surface03:44 The Bible as a Chronological Story06:02 The Importance of Personal Study08:43 Challenges of Reading the Bible Out of Order21:41 The Kingdom of God: Central Theme of the Bible29:27 Conclusion: Embracing the StoryResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:🎙 Unlock Leadership Excellence with TimTransform your leadership and align your career with your deepest values.

Have you ever felt like the Bible just doesn’t make sense, no matter how many sermons you’ve heard or scriptures you’ve read? In this eye-opening episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders invites you to “choose the red pill” and step outside the matrix of tradition to truly understand the Bible. Tim shares his personal journey of deconstructing decades of doctrine, challenging deeply ingrained beliefs, and finding new clarity by studying scripture in historical context. If you’re ready to question what you’ve always been taught and discover a fresh perspective on faith, this episode is your invitation to dig deeper."Sometimes the greatest act of faith is to let go of our answers so that we can hear God." - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Unpack the Matrix Analogy: This episode draws compelling parallels between understanding the Bible and stepping outside "the Matrix," urging listeners to question long-held beliefs and discover deeper truths.Explore Deconstruction in Faith: Tim shares his personal journey through Bible school and beyond, revealing why "deconstructing" religious doctrine is not about destruction, but about seeking authentic understanding.Unlock New Ways to Read the Bible: Learn why reading the Bible in chronological and historical context can radically change your perspective, making once-confusing passages suddenly make sense.Key Lessons:Deconstruction is Growth, Not Destruction - Deconstructing faith doesn’t have to be a negative process—it’s about asking questions, letting go of handed-down beliefs, and seeking truth for ourselves. This is a journey of digging deeper and stepping outside of traditional paradigms to truly understand the Bible.Context is Everything - Understanding who wrote the Bible, when, and to whom it was addressed is essential. Reading Scripture in historical and chronological order can unlock powerful insights and clarify confusing passages that may otherwise seem out of place.Beware of Fitting Scripture to Personal Beliefs - There’s a real temptation to use the Bible to justify our own political, cultural, or religious positions. Tim encourages listeners to let Scripture guide our beliefs instead of molding Scripture to fit our preferences or social dogmas.Slowing Down Allows Spiritual Clarity - Distraction is the enemy of understanding. Taking intentional time to slow down, pause, and reflect can clear away mental clutter and help us approach the Bible with fresh eyes and a surrendered heart.Learning Means Unlearning - Genuine progress often involves admitting what we don’t know—and even unlearning what we thought we understood. It can feel unsettling, but it’s freeing and necessary for deeper transformation and spiritual maturity.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview00:35 Deconstructing Doctrines and Beliefs03:31 Personal Journey and Background06:30 Deep Study and New Insights09:01 Reading the Bible in Context10:36 Challenges with Modern Interpretations15:50 The Importance of Unlearning28:44 Conclusion and Next StepsResources for Leaders from Tim Winders & SGC:🎙 Unlock Leadership Excellence with TimTransform your leadership and align your career with your deepest values.

Have you ever wondered why the Bible doesn’t always make sense, even after years of reading or attending church? In this episode of Seek Go Create, host Tim Winders kicks off a five-part series exploring the real story behind the pages of scripture, and why true understanding requires more than just effort or hustle. Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis, Bono, and his own life journey, Tim invites you to discover what it means to move from striving and performance to genuine peace and transformation. If you've ever felt stuck or confused in your faith, this conversation will give you fresh courage to explore what might be missing—hint: it’s not “trying harder.”"What if the thing you're missing isn't more effort, but just having more peace?" - Tim Winders Access all show and episode resources HEREReasons to Listen: Explore Why the Bible Often Feels Confusing: Tim Winders shares his own journey of struggling to understand the Bible, even after decades in church, offering fresh insights into why scripture sometimes doesn’t make sense—and what to do about it.Discover the Life-Changing Concept of the “New Man”: Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis and a recent interview with Bono, this episode digs into powerful ideas about identity, transformation, and finding true peace rather than endless hustle.Get a Candid Look at Faith “Unlearning”: Tim opens up about losing everything, walking away from hustle culture, and the process of unlearning religious habits to finally discover what the Bible’s story is really all about—paving the way for listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey.Key Lessons:Striving vs. Abiding - Tim shares his personal journey from living in “hustle culture”—believing success comes only through striving and effort—to discovering the power of peace and abiding. Sometimes, what we’re missing in life and faith isn’t more effort, but a deeper sense of peace.Identity Over Performance - A recurring theme is the difference between basing your value on performance versus identity in Christ. Tim highlights that many of us, even in spiritual pursuits, get caught up in proving ourselves, when the biblical message is really about transformation—becoming a new creation rather than simply improving the old self.Unlearning in Order to Re-Learn - Despite decades of church involvement and biblical study, Tim realized he didn’t fully grasp the Bible’s overarching story. Real growth began when he allowed himself to unlearn surface-level interpretations and prosperity-focused readings, creating space to rediscover the true narrative of scripture.The “New Man” Concept - Drawing inspiration from C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity” (specifically the concept of the “New Man”), Tim explores the idea that genuine transformation in Christ isn’t about minor self-improvement, but becoming a whole new version of ourselves—calm, secure, and truly at peace.Scripture Should Lead to Peace, Not Pressure - Tim emphasizes that misunderstanding our identity leads to faith feeling like pressure and obligation. When we really understand who we are in Christ, scripture becomes a source of peace, not stress—and the Bible’s story shifts from being a book of rules to an invitation to personal and spiritual transformation.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction to the Series00:24 The Journey of Understanding the Bible03:04 Setting the Stage: Location and Setup04:41 Personal Journey and Struggles05:24 The Turning Point: Bono and C.S.
