Join us as we sit down with Tim Hawks, former Lead Pastor of Hill Country Bible Church Austin. For 35 years, Tim led the charge in planting 44 churches in the greater Austin area. Now, he's dedicated to seeing the gospel saturate communities worldwide. In this episode, Tim shares his journey, including the shift from a ”bring them in” church growth model to a passionate pursuit of personal discipleship. He reveals his ”heavy sorrow” over the decline of Christianity, particularly in post-Christian nations, and offers a powerful vision for a new generation. Discover why Acts 1:8 became his life verse and how it fuels his commitment to ”gospel saturation” — ensuring every man, woman, and child has repeated opportunities to encounter Jesus. Tim challenges pastors and believers alike to embrace the ”micro” command of making disciples, emphasizing that this, not macro programs, is the key to true church growth and seeing God's supernatural work displayed. He highlights the unique openness of Gen Z to the gospel, seeing their desperation for something real as a ripe opportunity for revival. Don't miss this insightful conversation about the simplicity and profound impact of prioritizing relational, obedience-driven discipleship.
