The Unfolding

At 25 years old, Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and worship leader Tim Timmons was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 cancer and told he likely had five years to live. More than two decades later, Tim is still here and still learning what it looks like to trust Jesus in the middle of grief, doubt, fear, and uncertainty.
In this conversation, Tim talks about wrestling with God, living with unanswered questions, and why he believes faith isn't about pretending everything is okay. He shares how suffering reshaped his understanding of God, the daily practices that help him walk through worry, and why he stopped "working for Jesus" and started simply learning to join Him.
Tim also talks about:
surrender, contentment, and trusting God

grief, loss, and suffering

the story behind 10,000 Minutes

MercyMe, I Can Only Imagine 2, and his journey as a Christian artist

If you've ever struggled with disappointment, uncertainty, or questions about faith, this conversation is for you.

She's the voice behind the hit song Desperate, a powerful anthem that soared to number one and struck a chord with thousands. But Jamie MacDonald's story runs much deeper. In this episode, Jamie shares about growing up in a house where singing was banned and hope felt out of reach. After being kicked out at 15 and dropping out of high school at 16, she spent years bouncing between couches and group homes, no phone, no address, no one in her corner. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of faith from a childhood church camp refused to go out. Join us as Jamie shares how one desperate prayer changed everything and how her pain gave rise to a song that's giving hope to so many.

Some stories sound almost impossible to believe. Terrell Scott was in prison after a life of drugs and crime when God sent Brandy, the woman he had robbed at gunpoint during a drug deal, to share the gospel with him. Brandy had every reason to hate him, but after meeting Jesus, she began praying for the man who had hurt her and asking God to help her forgive. What followed was repentance, transformation, marriage, family, and ministry in the same community where so much damage had been done. Terrell and Brandy share more of their story in their book, The Power of the Broken Road, about how God turns pain into purpose, tragedy into triumph, and a mess into a message.

What happens when the person you love encounters Jesus, and you want nothing to do with it? On this episode of The Unfolding, Chevas Phillips shares her powerful story of addiction, brokenness, marriage struggles, and the unexpected way God completely transformed her life. 

Chevas was drinking every day, hating church, and watching her husband Josh become someone she barely recognized after he gave his life to Christ. As tension grew in their marriage, Chevas found herself wrestling with questions of identity, control, surrender, and whether real freedom was even possible. 

Now a wife, mom, worship leader at Bethlehem Church in Bethlehem, Georgia, and recording artist, Chevas shares how Jesus met her in the middle of her pain and changed what she could never change on her own.
