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

Reasons 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.
