In the midst of battling an incurable cancer for more than a decade, singer/songwriter Tim Timmons remains committed to living each day to the fullest and giving glory to God.
“Whatever the day involves, whether it’s joy or sorrow, I want to be in the presence of God,” Timmons said. “We are called to represent Him and reflect His love to others, wherever He leads us each day.”
As he performs concerts around the country, Timmons hopes to encourage audiences to rely on Christ as their source of stability and strength during life’s storms.
“The same power that raised Christ from the dead is alive in me, and I want to tell people about it,” Timmons noted. “As we take time to tell others how Christ is working in our own life, that’s what will point others to Him.”
In Fall 2015, Timmons joined MercyMe and Phil Wickham on the Greater Than Tour. In addition, Timmons partnered with K-LOVE TV for a feature called “Timmons Pantry Raid,” which showcased his cooking skills while exploring the homes of various Christian artists and selecting random ingredients found inside their pantries to make meals.
“At the end of the week, everyone says they don’t have enough food and have to go out to eat,” Timmons explained. “I wanted to show people that they can make a meal from whatever ingredients they have available.
“I hope the show [was] a vehicle for great conversations. I love cooking, but it isn’t why I wake up in the morning. I love music, but that isn’t why I wake up in the morning. What energizes and motivates me to face each new day is trying to figure out how to seek first the kingdom of God. Cooking is a vehicle, just like music is a vehicle to share about the availability of the kingdom of God.”
With his new album, “Awake Our Souls,” Timmons seeks to inspire listeners to experience the fullness, freedom and forgiveness available through a relationship with Christ.
“Over the past few years, I’ve been trying to rest, dwell and experience the presence of God each day,” Timmons said.
“This perspective has radically changed my life, and I just want to invite people into a new awareness about the availability of the kingdom of God. As believers we have access to the fullness of God.
“This whole record is centered around the question: ‘What does it look like practically to seek first the kingdom of God?’ If we lived like that, we would have a different nation.”
