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 understands success, leadership, ambition, peace, and what truly matters.

Across more than four decades, Tim has built businesses, coached founders and executives, developed leaders, and helped organizations navigate growth, complexity, change, and reinvention. His experience as an engineer, entrepreneur, coach, and executive leader gives him a practical perspective on the difference between rapid growth and sustainable growth—and between achievement and a meaningful life.

Tim created and hosts Seek Go Create, a long-form podcast with more than 300 episodes exploring faith, leadership, purpose, the Kingdom of God, and the questions that shape how we live and lead. He is known for his genuine curiosity, deep listening, and willingness to ask questions others may overlook—or hesitate to ask.

Much of Tim’s current work examines the New Testament through its first-century setting and original audiences. His NT90 reading project helps people encounter the New Testament in the order its books were written and consider what those writings meant to the people who first received them.

His books include Coach: A Story of Success Redefined and The Visit: The Story Continues. Through his writing, conversations, and teaching, Tim invites people to question inherited assumptions, think more deeply, and pursue lives marked by greater faith, clarity, peace, and purpose.

Engineer by training at Georgia Tech • Author • Executive leader • Creator and host of Seek Go Create • Student and teacher of Scripture

What you teach is NOT taught in ANY of the MANY churches I have and continue to attend. How I read the scriptures now can not be reversed. Thanks??
