👣 Guest Introduction:
Some knocks don’t come gently.
Some arrive loud, chaotic, and terrifying.

This week’s guest, Tim Wessel, experienced an almost knock a moment so close to opening the door that it would have changed his life forever.

At one of the darkest points in his life, Tim was on his way out the door to end his life when someone else was already there, about to knock.

That interruption.
That presence.
That moment changed everything.

After earning his BBA in Accounting Information Systems from Eastern Michigan University, Tim spent 12 years working in public accounting, serving everyone from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies across the United States.

But Tim’s true calling has always been people.

For more than a decade, he served as an Outreach and Recovery Pastor, building relationships and walking with individuals through addiction, loss, and rebuilding a life rooted in passion, purpose, prosperity, and peace. Tim is a powerful communicator whose story has reached state capitals, conferences, and awareness events focused on addiction, alcohol abuse, and suicide prevention.

His testimony, known worldwide through The Tim Video, continues to deliver hope to those who feel stuck in survival mode—pointing the way toward thriving.

This episode isn’t easy.
It’s honest.
And it’s exactly the kind of story this season exists to tell.
