In this episode, we talk about the importance of distinguishing between inspiration, interpretation, and implications when reading the Biblical text. We use examples such as the literal days of Genesis 1, death before sin, and the statements of Jesus regarding creation.

In this episode of the Winsome Creationist podcast, Steve discusses the concept of 'mere young age creationism,' a term inspired by C.S. Lewis and articulated in his upcoming book. This concept aims to foster unity among creationists by focusing on core beliefs, such as Yahweh's transcendence and the six-day creation model, while not requiring agreement on other debated topics like original sin or dinosaurs in the Bible.

In this episode of the Winsome Creationist podcast, I dive into the origins of the show and share my personal journey in creationism, starting with my initial exposure in 2014. I introduce my new mission to promote a kinder, more respectful approach to debates around creationism. I'm excited to announce my upcoming book, *The Winsome Creationist: A Fresh Take on the Origins Debate*, which is set to release in the first quarter of next year. I'll walk you through the book's structure, its chapters, and the innovative perspective it aims to bring to the creationist conversation. I'll also hint at an exciting new project I'm working on to help fund creationist initiatives, with a grand reveal planned for early next year. Stay tuned, as I'll be sharing some materials from the book that will be available for download soon.
