Somewhere between the prayer requests, the small group answers, and the service rotation, you stopped following Jesus and started working for him. You know what this feels like: the quiet exhaustion under the faithfulness, the sense that God has become an employer and you have become an employee who can never clock enough hours. Tim Timmons joins me from a place most people never reach: 25 years into an incurable cancer diagnosis, months past the death of his best friend, and more alive in Jesus than he has ever been. Tim is the co-writer of MercyMe's Grammy-nominated "Even If" and the subject of the film I Can Only Imagine 2. We move into the distinction Tim names plainly: working for God is exhausting, and he quit. What replaced it is not resignation; it is something wilder and more demanding, the daily decision to join Jesus in the present moment rather than perform for an audience of One who never asked for the performance. We confront the Christian platitudes that gaslight grieving people, the real distance between surrender and contentment (they are not the same thing, and one of them can be done in fury), and what it looks like to wrestle with God well without letting go. If you have been managing God's opinion of you rather than following him, this conversation will not comfort you. It will ask you to stop performing and start joining, which is harder and more alive. The question Tim keeps returning to across 25 years of manure and mystery is available to you right now: what if Jesus is here, at work, and not asking for your performance? Stop pretending you have already answered it. Guest Bio Tim Timmons is a Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and worship leader who has spent 25 years living with an incurable stage four cancer diagnosis and has emerged not with answers but with something better: a practice. He co-wrote MercyMe's Grammy-nominated "Even If," is the subject of the film I Can Only Imagine 2 (portrayed by Milo Ventimiglia), and recently released Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude with his wife Hillary. He leads 10,000 Minutes, a nonprofit and podcast built around the question of what happens when Jesus people actually join Jesus in the 10,000 minutes outside of Sunday.

Tim Timmons joins Ginny Yurich for a deeply honest conversation about grief, cancer, friendship, faith, parenting, and what happens when life turns out nothing like you planned. Given just five years to live more than two decades ago, Tim shares how sorrow reshaped his understanding of God, why he stopped trying to force doors open, and how he learned to trust in the places where he could do nothing at all. From the heartbreak of his parents' divorce to raising four children while living with an incurable illness, this episode is full of wisdom, laughter, and the kind of hope that has been tested by real life. If you've ever wondered how to keep going when the valley feels long, this conversation is for you.

Kevin Dixon broke the Internet this week when he showed his driver's license on the Journey livestream. Apparently, it's a no-no to share personal ID on YouTube. Kevin's point was that just knowing the basic facts about someone doesn't mean you know them. Same thing with Jesus. So, how can we, individually and in community, get beyond what we know ABOUT God and actually just KNOW Him? Mike Erre, Tim Timmons, Suzie Lind and special guest Seth Erre join the discussion. - - - - -Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

Carmen LaBerge is tired of having to prove to her devices that she's human.  But there's a system that allows you to use a retina scan to establish your humanity.  It looks you in the eye.  How often do we look each other in the eye to know each other?  Also, as Ben Sasse talks about his calling to die in public, are we living and dying well in the eyes of others pointing them to Jesus.  Musician Tim Timmons, author of "Waking Up Again," talks about his cancer diagnosis, his burnout "working for God," and the joy of just meeting with Jesus in what He's doing around him.  The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.

Tim Timmons was given five years to live over two decades ago. He is still living with cancer, but he is also one of the most genuinely free people I have ever had a conversation with.You might know Tim from Even If, one of the most honest songs about suffering and faith written in the last decade. What you may not know is that he co-wrote it while actively living the question. Not hypothetically. Not as a songwriter fishing for a good lyric, but as someone who was in it when he wrote it.Now there's a film, I Can Only Imagine 2, with Milo Ventimiglia playing Tim. And one of the most disarming things Tim said in this conversation was what it felt like to sit in a theater, watch someone else suffer as him, and finally grieve things he'd just been pushing through for years.We talk about the X he writes on his wrist every single morning, not a tattoo, a daily practice, as well as what it means to stop building your own little suburb in the kingdom of God and just join what Jesus is already doing. Most importantly, we talk about what it means to have faith on the days you're only 75% sure any of this is real. Tim's honesty about that alone is worth the listen.Tim's Website: https://www.timtimmonsmusic.com/Tim on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timmonsmusic/Tim's Book: https://tinyurl.com/yajmp86nTim's Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/tim-timmons/161283355Tim on QAVA: https://qava.tv/imagine

This week, Mike Erre reminded us that that the Bible's story isn't so much about Heaven vs Hell. Instead, it's about how Heaven and Earth are reconciled. People focus way too much on Hell, he said. So, what kind of questions did we get on the text line afterwards? Oh, about 25 messages on Hell. Aw, heck. Here we go discussing it just this once.

Bro, if Jesus carried his cross, the least we can do is load up a barbell and Instagram ourselves walking a half mile with it. Right? Maybe too performative?

We're studying a radically different view of the Passover--that its covering wasn't to save people from God's wrath. Instead, it revealed God's desire to save us from what Jesus called "the deystroyer." That thin line between love and hate changes everything, so listeners have questions.

This week, we speak with Nathan Davis Jr., an actor, singer, and songwriter whose career has taken him from church choirs to television screens and viral music platforms. But behind the success is a deeply personal story of loss and faith. After losing his little brother to suicide and enduring a season of overwhelming grief, Nathan found himself at a breaking point, until a quiet, honest cry to God changed everything. After we hear from Nathan, we talk with Tim Timmons, a songwriter and founder of the nonprofit 10000 MINUTES. Based in Nashville, his insightful music and ministry were profoundly shaped by an unexpected diagnosis of incurable cancer twenty-five years ago. Tim shares his journey of wrestling with faith’s biggest questions, the power of praying his songs, and how he’s learned to hold the tension between deep sorrow and profound gratitude.

To keep his name alive by speaking to kids and speaking to people that deal with depression and mental health situations and continue to help and to give back and to just love and show as much love as I can.” - Nathan Davis Jr. “I’m just blessed that God gave me another chance and that He’s forgiven me and showed me a lot of mercy and grace and that He’s utilizing me.”- Nathan Davis Jr. “All I could think about was waking up in the morning and praying to God and walking with Him on my walks, and His presence just felt so calm. I just felt so loved and validated and just reassured.” - Nathan Davis Jr. “Fear pays attention to facts, but faith pays attention to the Father. As long as our eyes are on God—no matter how many storms or chaos or whatever is going on—we’re going to walk on water.” - Nathan Davis Jr. “I felt abandoned. Rejected. Depressed. I remember having a moment where all I could say was, ‘This pain is terrible. God, I need you.’ And for the first time, I felt like I had a spiritual encounter with God.” - Nathan Davis Jr. “I wish I could say I have it all figured out, but I don’t. But at some point I remember saying, ‘Okay, God, I don’t know how all this works, but I think Your way is the most beautiful way I can see.’” - Tim Timmons “Living as though something is true—that’s the actual definition of to believe. It’s like this verb of faith, I’m believing as though this is true. So it really became a sobering moment for me to say, ‘Okay, I’m going to bet my one and only life on you, Jesus. So You lead on.’” - Tim Timmons “Somehow, I got to wake up again this morning. Because of that, I’m just going to find gratitude for this day. This is the day that You have made, God. I will rejoice and be glad in the fact that You woke me up again. Even in the midst of sorrow, You woke me up. So how do I join You well today? I would not be the man I am today or the husband or the dad or the follower of Jesus I am today without sorrow.” - Tim Timmons “I’m trying to figure out how to live with the idea of saying, ‘Life is hard. This thing is really hard. It sucks, period. I’m so sorry for this. And what if God is actually good and He’s at work even in the middle of the fire?’ I want to be the guy living as though these both can exist and I can hold the tension of these two—that God is good and life’s hard and God’s good.” - Tim Timmons “We get good at what we practice and we get good at who we’re with. One of the definitions of worship is attention. What has your attention? In the way that we’re actually starting our day or ending our day or during our day, we’re saying, ‘Jesus, you have my attention.’” - Tim Timmons ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Christian artist and songwriter Tim Timmons was given five years to live over two decades ago. Today, he's still waking up and marking each morning with an X on his wrist to prove it. In this conversation with host Jim Mann, Tim shares how a diagnosis of incurable cancer didn't become his story, but rather the soil in which a richer, more present faith grew. From the unexpected origins of the hit song "Even If," to his philosophy of breathing prayers and joining Jesus in the everyday, Tim offers a perspective that is equal parts honest and life-giving. Whether you're in the middle of a health crisis, a valley of your own, or just going through the motions, this episode is a reminder that today, just today, is the gift.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Disciples Making Disciples” with a discussion with Stephen McWhirter about his story of being called out of darkness into light and choosing the Lord. Over twenty years ago, Stephen was a meth addict and a wounded preacher’s kid who had a radical encounter with Jesus. Today, he travels the world leading worship, is an award-winning songwriter, shares his testimony, and sees many people come to Christ. He is also an artist and writer with Capitol Christian Music Group and Re: think Music. Stephen shared his story in his debut book, “Radically Restored: How Knowing Jesus Heals Our Brokenness”. Then we had Tim Timmons join us to discuss how the hit song “Even If” inspired the movie “I Can Only Imagine 2”, which releases today. Tim is a singer-songwriter who spent over two decades in ministry, writing songs born of personal experiences with pain, cancer, hope, and joy. Since his 2013 debut, “Cast My Cares”, Timmons has been creating what he calls “prayers set to music”. He is also the author of the upcoming book, “Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude”. Then we had Dr. Jared Nelms join us to discuss the importance of making disciples and encouraging them to apply what they learn. Jared serves as the President and CEO of The Timothy Initiative. He oversees TTI’s development of disciple-making/church-planting materials. He leads the mission to plant churches in unreached regions by training indigenous leaders. We then turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to share who showed them how to walk like Jesus. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

A few weeks before leaving to pursue mainstream music, Tim Timmons was told he had five years to live. In this episode, we talk about the story behind his song “Even If,” how that confession was forged in the middle of stage-four cancer, and how his journey is now portrayed in the film I Can Only Imagine 2. We explore what it means to hold grief and gratitude together, to surrender outcomes without giving up hope, and to resist contempt through enemy-love in a divided culture. This isn't a polished victory arc. It's a conversation about paying attention to Jesus in the 10,000 ordinary minutes of our lives — and discovering that even if the healing doesn't come, God himself is still our hope.Tim Timmons is a singer-songwriter who has spent over two decades in ministry, writing songs born from personal experience with pain, cancer, hope, and joy. In 2001, he received a terminal cancer diagnosis with a five-year prognosis—he's now 24 years into that journey. "The gift of cancer is perspective," he shares. "It's really the open door to speak into people's stories."Since his 2013 debut "Cast My Cares," Timmons has been creating what he calls "prayers set to music," including co-writing MercyMe's Grammy-nominated "Even If." His latest work with Integrity Music explores themes of God's presence through struggle, including singles like "You Never Let Go" and "Roar"—songs that put praise into action even in the midst of hardship.After 15 years leading worship in Orange County, California, Timmons now tours full-time, carrying a message forged in the fire of his own battle with incurable cancer. "I hear so many stories after every show where people are just stuck in religion—exhausted, shame-filled, powerless, and joyless," he notes. "I want to have songs that actually help them through their journey and invite them beyond fear."When home in Nashville, Tim, his wife Hilary of 23+ years, and their four children live out their faith in everyday moments. Six years ago, he founded the non-profit 10000 MINUTES with a weekly podcast inspiring people to practice Jesus in all 10,000 minutes of their week, not just the 80 spent in church. He is also the author of the forthcoming book, Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude (March 3, 2026).Tim Timmons' greatest desire—whether through his cancer story, his theology, or his songs—is to help people discover the real life found with Jesus, one day at a time.Tim's Book:Waking Up AgainConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Disciples Making Disciples” with a discussion with Stephen McWhirter about his story of being called out of darkness into light and choosing the Lord. Over twenty years ago, Stephen was a meth addict and a wounded preacher’s kid who had a radical encounter with Jesus. Today, he travels the world leading worship, is an award-winning songwriter, shares his testimony, and sees many people come to Christ. He is also an artist and writer with Capitol Christian Music Group and Re: think Music. Stephen shared his story in his debut book, “Radically Restored: How Knowing Jesus Heals Our Brokenness”. Then we had Tim Timmons join us to discuss how the hit song “Even If” inspired the movie “I Can Only Imagine 2”, which releases today. Tim is a singer-songwriter who spent over two decades in ministry, writing songs born of personal experiences with pain, cancer, hope, and joy. Since his 2013 debut, “Cast My Cares”, Timmons has been creating what he calls “prayers set to music”. He is also the author of the upcoming book, “Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude”. Then we had Dr. Jared Nelms join us to discuss the importance of making disciples and encouraging them to apply what they learn. Jared serves as the President and CEO of The Timothy Initiative. He oversees TTI’s development of disciple-making/church-planting materials. He leads the mission to plant churches in unreached regions by training indigenous leaders. We then turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to share who showed them how to walk like Jesus. You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Then, we respond to questions about Suzie's Sunday teaching on Jesus at the Feast of the Tabernacles.- - - - -Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

When a story resonates across generations, it's usually because it touches something deeply human. Tim Timmons has that kind of story. He's the focus of I Can Only Imagine 2, a movie focusing on redemption, relationships, and the impact of people who choose to show up when it matters most. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by Tim to talk about the movie and his role as a dad.Why This MattersThe on-screen lessons from the movie can be implemented in your home today.   Who is Tim Timmons?·      Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader known for joyful, authentic storytelling·      Best known for hit songs like “Cast My Cares” and “All About You”·      Built a strong following through music that blends faith, humor, and real-life honesty·      Passionate advocate for intentional faith, family, and meaningful connection·      Diagnosed with terminal cancer of unknown origin in 2000. Doctors told him he had just five years to liveWhy Intentional Fatherhood Matters: In the film, Tim's character (played by Milo Ventimiglia) embodies themes of perseverance, grace, and transformation. These aren't just cinematic ideas; they're the building blocks of healthy families. Every dad, at some point, faces moments when he has to decide whether to disengage or lean in, react or respond with wisdom, or drift or lead with intention.Tim Timmons's voice—both in the film and beyond it—invites dads to rethink what influence really looks like. It's not about control; it's about connection. It's not about having all the answers; it's about being willing to walk alongside your kids as they grow.Quotable MomentTim told Ted this powerful line: “I get drunk on worry all the time. I get drunk on worrying about my finances all the time. I get drunk on scarcity going, “I'm not going to have enough.” I get drunk on trying to work for God all the time. And I want to be more sober this year than I was last year.”Enjoy this conversation and the movie, which hits theaters on February 20, 2026. I Can Only Imagine 2 is based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If.” The aim is to “Inspire the next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.”Important Episode Timestamps 00:00:42 – 01:39 | How Hard SeasonWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

We begin where so many good journeys do: with questions from the community on Sunday's teaching about John 6. Hosts Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons remind us that true belief is not a mere mental assent but an embodied participation in the restoration of humanity.Then producer Edwin Rivera III shows us what that looks like in action by breaking down a few sonic & visual cues from the recent Super Bowl halftime show. It wasn't just music; it was about the stories reflected in plastic chairs and light poles after a storm. It turns out that 'believing' in something is a whole lot like a 14-minute block party. It's about showing up, acting with love, and making sure that even if people don't understand your language, they know they've got a seat at your table.Timestamps:00:00: Intro07:00: Community Questions45:45: From Bible to Puerto Rico— Guest notes by Edwin Rivera III- - - - -Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

This week, actor Milo Ventimiglia — known for 'This Is Us,' 'Gilmore Girls' and 'Heroes' — tells us why he chose to star in a new Christian movie, playing real-life worship artist Tim Timmons, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer over 20 years ago and is still defying the odds today. In RELEVANT Buzz, the crew recaps the Super Bowl — including the incredible story of Seahawks coach Mike McDonald, who followed God's calling to leave the corporate world to take an unpaid internship in coaching. And now 12 years later, it's led to a Super Bowl championship. We also dig into a new study revealing that Gen Z is statistically dumber than their parents (and why that's significant). Plus, Jesse forces the crew to watch the Carman movie trailer, and at the end of the show, we have Ask the Cast! And of course Jesse and Derek have some strong thoughts on Ring cameras and drones.Highlights:01:28 — The Olympics and Derek's New Drone04:59 — Ring Cameras Have Ruined Jesse's Hypothetical Heist06:18 — The Dark Knight Predicted the Ring Camera Era09:20 — Apple Is Buying Tech That Can Hear Your Silent Speech16:29 — RELEVANT BUZZ19:31 — Coach Mike McDonald: From Accountant to Super Bowl Champion23:04 — New Study: Gen Z Is Scoring Lower on IQ Tests Than Their Parents24:40 — The Lost Art of Daydreaming & Why Boredom Matters30:09 — Milo Ventimiglia on ‘I Can Only Imagine 2'33:24 — Jesse Makes the Crew Watch the Carman Movie Trailer (Live Reaction)37:47 — SLICES38:11 — Man Cited for Juggling Fire on a Unicycle in a Crosswalk41:11 — Man Breaks Into Little Caesars After Hours & Starts Selling Pizzas43:09 — ASK THE CAST44:05 — What Belief Have You Changed Your Mind On?45:46 — Boundaries You Didn't Know You Could Set46:40 — What Today Would Shock Yourself 10 Years Ago?47:18 — Podcast Voice vs. Real Voice49:48 — Who Has the Worst Music Taste on the Crew?51:04 — Why Jesse Is a Terrible Texter52:55 — NBA All-Star Weekend: Does Anyone Care?53:59 — Outro & YouTube Growth UpdateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us a textIn this episode of More Than a Song, we use Tim Timmons' song “Christ In Me” as a launching point to explore what Scripture teaches about the indwelling Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, and the tension we experience when our lives don't always align with what we say we believe.We'll dig into what it means to suppress the truth, why Paul says this leads to being “futile in our thinking,” and how setting our minds on the Spirit changes everything — from our thoughts to our actions to our worship.Key PointsWhat it means to believe something intellectually but not live like it's trueHypocrisy vs. life in the SpiritThe promise and presence of the Holy SpiritFruit of the Spirit as evidence, not effortSuppressing truth and the cost of futile thinkingAllowing Truth to resurface — like a beach ball underwaterHow setting our minds on the Spirit leads to life and peaceScriptures ReferencedJohn 14–16Acts 2Romans 1:18–22; 29–31Romans 2:1Romans 8:5–11Galatians 5:17; 22–23Ephesians 1:13–14Philippians 4:8Matthew 5:21–22BITEs (Bible Interaction Tool Exercises)Read & Keep on Reading: Read Romans 1–8 in context and note the contrast between suppressing truth and life in the Spirit.Turn Scripture Into Prayer: Thank God for His Spirit dwelling in you and producing His fruit through you.Compare & Contrast: Look at Galatians 5 and identify the difference between striving in the flesh and keeping in step with the Spirit.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideLyrics - New Release TodayTim Timmons shares the heart behind the song "Christ In Me" and shares the song live on Essential Worship Song Sessions - YouTubeBible Interaction Roadmap Bible Study - videos and assignments that will equip you with habits you can use over and over in your own Bible Study - Learn MoreLearn more about my favorite Bible Study Software with a 30-day free trial and links to my favorite Bible resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeRead John 14-16 and highlight every time Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit and make note of how He describes Him.

Finally, spend some time in Galatians 5 to see what keeping in step with the Spirit looks like—what life looks like when following the Spirit's leading rather than suppressing Him.

Send us a textIn this special Friday With Friends episode of More Than a Song, I'm joined by worship leader, songwriter, and author Tim Timmons—a voice many of us recognize from songs we've sung, but whose story gives those lyrics profound weight.Tim co-wrote Even If, a song rooted in the kind of faith that trusts God without guaranteed outcomes. That theology isn't abstract for Tim. Over twenty years ago, he received a terminal cancer diagnosis—and he's been living out an “even if” faith ever since.In our conversation, we talk honestly about suffering, grief, and gratitude. We explore how music becomes prayer when words are hard to find, how God's Word anchors us when faith feels fragile, and how joy and sorrow can coexist without canceling each other out.If you've ever felt worn out by performative faith—or needed permission to bring your real story to Jesus—this conversation is for you.In this episode, we talk about:Why Scripture still matters when life doesn't make senseHow suffering strips faith down to what's real and lastingThe story behind Tim's new book, Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and GratitudeSeeing his story portrayed in I Can Only Imagine 2, and what it was like watching that unfoldHolding joy and grief together in everyday lifeHow music helps us process pain and hope simultaneously as prayers to be sungTim's personal habits for staying engaged with God's WordA song recommendation you'll want on repeat (and we'll be using it for Monday's episode!)Connect with Tim: All the links to all the things are at https://michellenezat.com/timChange your music.

After listening to our re-think of John (New Order, “He Had To Go To Samaria”) a texter asks why Journey's teaching varies so much from the traditional narratives and interpretations they have heard. Are the pastors just making this stuff up? Shockingly, that turns out not to the be case. And, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind are here to share the receipts on their sources. TIMESTAMPS00:59 Thick In The Rims09:53 Question. Response. Sources.

Bart and Shannon Millard of MercyMe share the story behind the years they now call “the flower chair”—a season of grief, chronic stress, parenting strain, and quiet disconnection that nearly reshaped their family for good. What followed wasn't a dramatic rescue but a slow return through counseling, community, and the hard grace of facing what they had tried to survive alone. In this honest conversation with Ginny Yurich, they talk about the pre-2004 and post-2004 turning point, a child's type 1 diabetes diagnosis, marriage under pressure, the surprising role of mentor Tim Timmons, and the real story behind how I Can Only Imagine changed their lives. Their new book Even If and the film I Can Only Imagine 2 reveal what they call “personal evidence of God's goodness” in the middle of the mess—especially for parents carrying something that doesn't just go away.
