This powerful episode is a compelling look at what it means to serve with both a brave heart and a faithful spirit.

In this podcast, I sit down with my long-time friend and brother in Christ, Tim. He has been a 24-year firefighter whose courage on the frontlines is matched by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ.

Listen as Tim shares his passion for becoming a firefighter, what led him there, his thought process, and how his faith is not left behind when he steps on the job. Find out more details of the challenges he faces, a typical day, and the life advice he shares.

Through stories, encounters, and situations, he imparts how his belief in Jesus Christ fuels his strength, guides his decisions, brings hope, and provides peace in the face of danger. Whether battling a blaze or comforting a family in crisis, his faith is the steady force behind every act of service. Tim is devoted to Christ, his “at-home” family, his firehouse family, and the community he serves here and abroad.

Although we tease that Tim gets paid to sleep and work out, his job goes beyond the call of duty and into a life of obedience to serve God first. Listeners will be inspired by his humility, resilience, and the ways he lives out his calling, both as a protector of lives and a follower of Christ. Tim is truly a hero in every sense of the word.
