From addiction, homelessness, and a jail cell in Las Vegas to recovery, marriage, ministry, hospice chaplaincy, and pastoral ordination—this is Tim’s testimony. But this story isn’t ultimately about addiction, jail, education, or even recovery. It’s about Jesus Christ and what He can do with a surrendered life. Years ago, a corrections officer warned Tim not to find Jesus in jail only to leave Him there when he was released. Through tears, Tim answered: “I’m taking Him with me.”More than eight years later, by the grace of God, he still is. If you feel too far gone, too broken, or too ashamed for God to use your life, this episode is for you.
