What if sin was never meant to define who you are?

In this episode of Revergent, we return to the original meaning of sin by tracing the word through English etymology, Hebrew scripture, and ancient imagery. Rather than moral failure or identity-based guilt, sin is revealed as misalignment — distance from design, not loss of worth.

We explore:

• How modern religious language turned sin into an identity

• The Old English and Proto-Germanic roots of the word

• The first appearance of sin in Genesis 4:7 as a warning, not a verdict

• The Hebrew word חָטָא (ḥaṭṭāʼ) and its connection to measurement and distance

• Why sin functions as information, not condemnation

• How awareness leads to re-formation, not punishment

This episode is not about becoming more religious —
it’s about returning to alignment with what you were created for.

Welcome to Revergent.

What if the words that shape faith have drifted from their original meaning?

Revergent is a series that returns to ancient language, biblical context, and embodied understanding to recover what familiar religious words once meant — before they became loaded with fear, shame, or abstraction.

Each episode takes a single word — like sin, love, fear, repent, or father — and traces it back through Scripture, language, and lived experience to uncover meaning that invites clarity, alignment, and return rather than condemnation.

This series isn’t about becoming more religious.
It’s about becoming more aware.

Welcome to Revergent.

Exploring the Hebrew Letter Dalet | The Door to Understanding

This teaser episode introduces Dalet, the fourth letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. Dalet carries the ideas of a doorway, movement, humility, and the transition from one state into another. In this short exploration, we touch on its ancient pictographs, numerical value, and scriptural significance—and why this letter opens a deeper way of understanding the biblical text.
