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.
