Tim shares honestly about the tension between faith and expectation - how following Jesus was never a promise of ease, stability, or a pain-free life. Through grief, loss, and seasons of deep wrestling with God, he discovered a joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances but is sustained by God Himself. In the midst of suffering and uncertainty, he describes a peace that endures, not because life is simple, but because God is present in it all. His joy becomes our strength.
