Tim has been married to his childhood sweetheart, Linda,since 1980 and together they have two children, Josh and Rachel. Josh is a graduate of Azusa Pacific University pursuing his career as a financial planner with Northwestern Mutual Financial Network. Rachel is a graduate of Vanguard University and is presently works as an account representative for Artistry Marketing in Dallas, Texas. Tim has been in full time ministry since 1984, but several years of ministry in the mid to late 90's proved to be extremely difficult. Both Tim and Linda faced life-threatening health issues and combined with the pressures of planting a new church, their marriage suffered.

From all outward, public appearances they had an excellent marriage, one to be emulated. But the call to love and the determination to dodge hurt set up a radical internal contradiction and they gradually became emotionally detached from each other. Over the course of doing this for many years, Linda began to be so desirous of love that she became emotionally vulnerable. An affair became inevitable and in the summer of 2000, Tim and Linda personally experienced the pain of infidelity within their marriage. God remained very faithful and continued His painful pursuit to get their attention.

At the brink of disaster and faced with several options, they chose to honor God and their marriage vows. Through this restoration process, Tim and Linda feel that God has prepared them for what they believe will be the best and most productive years of their marriage and ministry. God has taken them through the fires of change. He has forged His signature on their lives. He has tempered them through those fires in such a way that they are better, stronger, and more compassionate, with a deeper sense of God's call and purpose on their lives than ever before.

Their story of recovery and restoration promises to establish a positive change in any couple that hears it. After much prayer they have birthed three extremely insightful conferences - The True Intimacy Marriage Conference the Godly Masculinity Men's Conference and their new marriage conference Thrive. You can also follow Tim on Facebook, Twitter, and on his Relationship Blog!
