The Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal will help us to live life fully while creating a living legacy. Along the way, we will be seeking wisdom and discipline and striving to understand the insights of the wise. By doing so, we will learn to live a disciplined and successful life and to do what is right, just, and fair. I will count it a privilege if you will allow me to be your guide as we trek together.
When a person today hears the phrase “What you’re doing is a sin,” they probably won’t hear it as “I love you enough to point out that destructive behavior in your life.” Instead, they hear something like, “I’m judging you.” The idea of loving sinners enough to help them deal with their sin is lost on a world that has increasingly downplayed that three-letter word.

To understand what sin is, we must explore the root meaning. In both Hebrew and Greek, its root meaning is “to miss the mark” or “to fall short.” It conveys the idea of missing a target, straying from the path, or failing to meet a standard.
