Life is full of trials. No one is immune to them. But no matter the size, life’s challenges and setbacks do not have to defeat us. On today’s edition of Family Talk, our co-host, Dr. Tim Clinton, speaks with Tim Timberlake, senior pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida, about his new book, The Art of Overcoming: Letting God Turn Your Endings into Beginnings. Listen as Pastor Tim explains how a difficult circumstance, even a seemingly insurmountable one, is never the end, but rather, an opportunity for the Lord to show us a brand-new beginning. Isaiah 43:19 declares, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

They examine young adults and their disconnect with the concept of absolute truth. Jonathan has plenty of experience in dealing with this issue as a young adult minister who hears from restless students, post grads, newlyweds, and young professionals as part of the pastoral care he provides at Prestonwood Baptist Church in the Dallas area. He emphasizes why mature believers must disciple millennials, even when it's uncomfortable to do so. 1 Timothy 4:12 declares, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
