What if following Jesus wasn't about adding one more thing to your already busy schedule, but inviting Him into the life you're already living?
Christian artist Tim Timmons joins Jonathan Unthank to talk about what it looks like to actually walk with Jesus every day, not just on Sunday mornings or during your 'quiet time.'
After being given five years to live more than 25 years ago, Tim has learned a lot about trusting God with the things he can't control. He shares how he's learning to choose trust over worry, let go of the pressure to perform for God, and recognize His presence in the middle of ordinary moments.
You'll also hear about the story behind Tim's nonprofit, 10 Thousand Minutes, his experience with I Can Only Imagine 2, and why he believes the way we love people matters just as much as what we say we believe.
If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough for God, or you're struggling to find time for Him in your already full life, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus isn't asking you to have it all figured out. He's inviting you to follow Him, one moment at a time.
TAKE IT WITH YOU:
1. You don't have to earn God's approval. Following Jesus isn't about accomplishing more for Him. It's about learning to trust Him and join Him in what He's already doing.
2. You can practice trusting Jesus instead of worrying. Worry might be your natural response, but it doesn't have to be your only response. Tim shares how intentionally choosing trust has changed his everyday life.
3. Your faith matters outside of Sunday morning. The way you respond to difficult people, love your family, and handle interruptions can reflect Jesus to the people around you.
