Tim Tomlinson - Heaven-Mindedness

Today’s episode features the Vice President of Crown College, Bro. Tim Tomlinson. We talked about his testimony, life as a Bible college administrator, and how to better study/understand our Bible.

Interview: Bro. Tim Tomlinson

Think of a place you have visited and to which you feel a connection. Now think of that place in utter ruin and devastation mere months later. You feel a pull, a pull to return, to help, and to make sense of the heavy fist nature can bring down on us at any time. Tomlinson personally gathered hours upon hours of eye-witness accounts, conversations, and testimonies. Translated and then transcribed, he pulled the poems directly from the transcriptions, as a sculptor would uncover a human form from within a block of marble. These poems go beyond what we understand as “poems of witness” and become “poems of testimony,” life rendered into verse in the purest sense.we saw the bargeas well as the darkening of the worldmy house was nothingthe barge was on top of our houseand the houses were gonemy house it was nothing anymorea little portion of a steel barThrough the disassociation needed to survive such trauma and begin to reshape rubble into a life, moments of clarity and realization are apparent, he lifts these moments so that we may see them clearly. This collection is labor of devotion and should be celebrated. Tomlinson reminds us that art is life, elevated. Learn more about your ad choices.
