Freedom Friday: Because Someone Showed Me, I Now Walk With Jesus & “I Can Only Imagine 2” Movie Release with Tim Timmons

On this Freedom Friday, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Disciples Making Disciples” with a discussion with Stephen McWhirter about his story of being called out of darkness into light and choosing the Lord. Over twenty years ago, Stephen was a meth addict and a wounded preacher’s kid who had a radical encounter with Jesus. Today, he travels the world leading worship, is an award-winning songwriter, shares his testimony, and sees many people come to Christ. He is also an artist and writer with Capitol Christian Music Group and Re: think Music. Stephen shared his story in his debut book, “Radically Restored: How Knowing Jesus Heals Our Brokenness”. Then we had Tim Timmons join us to discuss how the hit song “Even If” inspired the movie “I Can Only Imagine 2”, which releases today. Tim is a singer-songwriter who spent over two decades in ministry, writing songs born of personal experiences with pain, cancer, hope, and joy. Since his 2013 debut, “Cast My Cares”, Timmons has been creating what he calls “prayers set to music”. He is also the author of the upcoming book, “Waking Up Again: A Journey of Grief and Gratitude”. Then we had Dr. Jared Nelms join us to discuss the importance of making disciples and encouraging them to apply what they learn. Jared serves as the President and CEO of The Timothy Initiative. He oversees TTI’s development of disciple-making/church-planting materials. He leads the mission to plant churches in unreached regions by training indigenous leaders. We then turned to the phone lines to ask listeners to share who showed them how to walk like Jesus.  You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.  If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps:  Stephen McWhirter Interview [05:58] Dr. Jared Nelms Interview [18:44] Listener stories [38:05] Tim Timmons Interview [48:57] Karl and Crew airs live weekday mornings from 5-9 a.m. Central Time.
