The Pastor’s Studio with Paul Basden

S3E02: Naming My Parkinson’s... and Learning to Laugh with Tim Johnson


Listen Later

Tim Johnson was serving as a senior pastor when he received a life-altering Parkinson’s diagnosis. Overnight, certainty disappeared, plans unraveled, and the future became fragile.

In this second episode of This Is My Story, Tim shares the story after the diagnosis:

  • Hearing the word Parkinson’s and choosing not to waste it

  • Letting go of leadership, identity, and control

  • Learning to trust God without demanding answers

  • Finding peace, and even joy, while living with uncertainty

  • Discovering a new calling rooted in care, presence, and hope

    This isn’t a conversation about healing formulas.

    It’s about faith when the miracle doesn’t come the way you expect.

    If you’ve ever:

    • Faced a diagnosis you didn’t see coming

    • Wondered why God didn’t intervene

    • Struggled to trust when your future feels unsteady

      Tim’s journey offers a steady, honest reminder: God may not remove the suffering, but He never removes His presence.

      🎧 Listen now to hear how faith, surrender, and purpose can grow even in the shadow of Parkinson’s.
