What if the word “sin” doesn’t mean what you think it means? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders unpacks how the New Testament’s original context and language reveal a radically different definition from what many churches teach today. Are we missing the real message by focusing on behavior rather than belonging? Join us as we challenge familiar beliefs, explore the surprising roots of “sin,” and ask if we’ve been drawing the wrong boundaries all along. If you’re ready to rethink faith, inclusion, and what really puts us “in” or “out,” this episode is for you.
"Sinner, or the word sin in the first century, was almost entirely about occupation and stature, not behavior." - Tim Winders
