Tim was an MC130 Special Ops pilot for most of his career, earning two Bronze Stars and four Air Medals.

He also volunteers as a pastor to military and veterans supporting numerous organizations.

Topic: “Joyful Resilience”

“Joy-FULL Resilience” is a series of messages focused on the need to keep CHRIST as our central focus for ALL areas of life. Drawing upon a large vault of personal experiences, Tim hopes to offer Scripture-based practical insights to JOYFULLY show Christ’s love and hope at work and at home!
