What Does 'Heretic' Actually Mean? (You're Probably One Too)

from Whiskey and the Writings

If you've ever been called a heretic, or been afraid you might be one, this episode is for you. We're digging into where the word "heretic" actually comes from, what it meant in Josephus, how Paul used it, and how it morphed into the weapon a lot of evangelical leaders use today to shut down anyone who thinks differently. Turns out the original Greek word just means "a choice you made." That changes everything about how we should hear it.
