The Pentecast: Day 43 - Mark & Celina Timms

Welcome to Day 43 of the Pentecast on LOVECHURCH — The Podcast. Today, Tim is joined by Mark and Celina Timms as they reflect on the deep wisdom and practical guidance found in Paul’s letters to Timothy — a young pastor mentored by the apostle himself.

Focusing on 2 Timothy 1, they explore Paul’s powerful charge: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Tim shares how this has become a personal life verse, especially on days when strength feels in short supply.

Mark relates this to his own journey of recovery through the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous — where surrendering to a higher power and developing daily disciplines are vital. For Mark, that higher power is Jesus. Through regular prayer, Scripture, and surrender, he and Celina have found strength, stability, and a renewed life.

Their honest and hopeful conversation highlights that true spiritual growth often comes through consistency — not feeling, but choosing daily obedience. It’s not about being perfect, but about submitting afresh each day to God’s Spirit and forming habits that shape our lives around His love.

Let their story inspire you to recommit to your own rhythms of prayer and Scripture, and to trust the Spirit’s power at work in your weakness.

We’re nearing the finish line — see you tomorrow for Day 44.
