Favorite Bible Verse

“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” – Romans 8:15-17

Training Ground

Tim and his wife, Laura, lived a combined 22 years in the District of Columbia, most recently working together under Pastor Mark Batterson at National Community Church, in Washington, DC, where Tim served as Social Media Strategist and Laura as Small Groups Pastor. Their heart for faith and work and business-as-mission led them to leave the District and move their family to Northwest Arkansas in August 2018.

Faith

Yes. Tim has a heart for social justice and advocacy, both at home and abroad, and believes that even though we get in the way from time to time, the message of Christ is relevant to all people everywhere.

Whether it’s make-believe PAW Patrol adventures or discovering new movies, my wife and I LOVE playing with and spending time with our kids.

Hero
