Tim Timmons - Holding Grief and Gratitude and The Story Behind "Even If" and "I Can Only Imagine 2"

What do you do when you’re told you have five years to live? In this episode of Shifting Culture, I sit down with Tim Timmons to talk about stage four cancer, faith that isn’t tied to outcomes, and what it means to pay attention to Jesus in the middle of suffering. Tim shares why he says “cancer is the dumbest story,” how sorrow can either make us bitter or sober, and why loving our enemies may be the most radical act of resistance left to the Church. We talk about the song Even If, the story behind I Can Only Imagine 2, contentment versus surrender, and the simple daily prayer that has reshaped his life: “Jesus, you have my attention.” This conversation explores Christian hope, grief and gratitude, enemy love, worship as attention, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in a polarized culture. If you’re wrestling with unanswered prayers, chronic illness, deconstruction, or just trying to live faithfully in a divided world, this episode is for you.
