About Me

  • Although my official title is executive pastor at Granger Community Church--my role is all about finding high capacity people with great hearts and getting them the resources they need so together we can help people meet Jesus. I really believe I lead the greatest staff on the planet, and my joy is in helping them hit the ball out of the park. In my spare time, I get the privilege of writing books and teaching workshops to help leaders of other churches learn from our mistakes and successes.

    A Book in the Works

    If you've been hanging around my blog for any time at all, you know I have a passion for leveraging pop culture in reaching people for Christ through the local church. It's also my favorite subject to teach about.

    I've been working on a book outline and idea for more than a year, and earlier this month presented it to four different publishers. Having a great book idea isn't enough if a publisher won't get behind it. They really need to confirm that there is a market for the book. It was my prayer that one of these publishers would catch the vision and partner with me on this project.

    Amazingly, all 4 publishers responded positively, and 3 of them  made an offer. I couldn't be happier! Now I have the task of praying, thinking, getting counsel, and deciding which publisher to work with. Oh, and also the small task of actually writing the book.

    I would appreciate your prayers. It's not a "dollars and cents" decision for me. I really want a partner in the project who will work with me to help as many churches as possible through this book.

    Congratulations! To my knowledge, no one else has addressed this topic yet in a book, and I can't wait to read your insights. I'm confident you're going to stretch how we view the ministry of the local church in today's culture.

    Hey Tim...that's great! I have confidence you will do well in this next step. I'm so sorry that I could not come to Innovate this year (though I'm bringing a huge group to your CA seminar!). I'm praying for you this week.

    Congratulations! That is very exciting. I'll be praying about this.

    Brother, you BREATHE this stuff! It's going to be great. Do I get an autographed copy since our kids play together?
