Tim is the Associate Dean and Professor of Homiletics at the Graduate School of Theology, Abilene Christian University. Tim is widely known for his work with research methodologies for Doctor of Ministry programs where he has taught participatory action research at ACU for twenty-two years.
Tim sees preaching as testifying for God that transforms communities into the image of Christ. Five categories that explicate how Tim sees theology are Fellowship: A Communal Practice (Trinitarian both in creation and eschaton); Reason: A Critical Practice; Sanctification: A Transformative Practice (Participatory in the life of God and the Spirit); Contextual: An Embodied Practice (Incarnational throughout both God’s actions and revelation); Ministry & Witness: A Public Practice (Influencing the marketplace. Recognizing that theology affects practice and practice affects theology subsequently having public consequences. A priestly ministry that encourages and cares for people as you mediate the presence of God to others. A prophetic ministry that proleptically imagines the past glory of God and God's people into the future by changing the present.)
