Special Edition: Tim Timmons on Friday With Friends

Send us Fan Mail

In this special Friday With Friends episode of More Than a Song, I’m joined by worship leader, songwriter, and author Tim Timmons—a voice many of us recognize from songs we’ve sung, but whose story gives those lyrics profound weight.

Tim co-wrote Even If, a song rooted in the kind of faith that trusts God without guaranteed outcomes. That theology isn’t abstract for Tim. Over twenty years ago, he received a terminal cancer diagnosis—and he’s been living out an “even if” faith ever since.

In our conversation, we talk honestly about suffering, grief, and gratitude. We explore how music becomes prayer when words are hard to find, how God’s Word anchors us when faith feels fragile, and how joy and sorrow can coexist without canceling each other out.

If you’ve ever felt worn out by performative faith—or needed permission to bring your real story to Jesus—this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why Scripture still matters when life doesn’t make sense
• How suffering strips faith down to what’s real and lasting
• The story behind Tim’s new book, Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude
• Seeing his story portrayed in I Can Only Imagine 2, and what it was like watching that unfold
• Holding joy and grief together in everyday life
• How music helps us process pain and hope simultaneously as prayers to be sung
• Tim’s personal habits for staying engaged with God’s Word
• A song recommendation you’ll want on repeat (and we’ll be using it for Monday’s episode!)
