James — Read the NT in 90 Days

What does real faith look like when life gets tough and the world feels against you? In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders takes us back to AD 48, introducing James—the very first book penned in the New Testament. Join us as we explore the urgent context, raw challenges, and timeless wisdom that James delivered to scattered believers under pressure. If you’re ready to see how ancient truths speak powerfully to our modern struggles, this journey through James is the perfect place to start.

"James shows what mature faith looks like on the ground—steady joy in trials, wisdom in speech and obedience.” - Tim Winders

Tim Winders

Tim Winders knows what it looks like when everything falls apart—and what it takes to rebuild.

After losing two businesses, his home, and starting over in a Honda van in 2013, Tim rebuilt his life from the ground up. That season reshaped how he thinks about success, leadership, and what actually matters.

Today, he serves as Chief Operating Officer at Earth Retention, leading operations and team development with an engineer's discipline and a builder's instinct. He's also the host of Seek Go Create – The Leadership Journey, a podcast with 300+ episodes exploring intentional leadership and purpose-driven success since 2019.

His latest project, NT90, invites listeners into a 90-day journey through the New Testament—reading the books in the order they were written and understanding them the way the original audience did.

Tim is the author of Coach: A Story of Success Redefined, a novel that mirrors his own journey from striving to stillness. He and his wife Glori live, travel, and work as "essential nomads" from their motorhome—proof that home isn't always a place.
