About this blog

My name is Timothy Paul Jones, and I love living in the city of Louisville with my wife and daughters. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of leading several congregations as a pastor and in associate ministry roles. Now, I serve as associate professor of leadership at one of the largest seminaries in the world. Here, I invest my time in mentoring a rising generation of God-called ministers of the gospel. I also write books in the fields of history, apologetics, and family ministry.

I enjoy spending time with my family, meandering along city streets, visiting baseball stadiums, drinking French-pressed coffee, eating locally-produced foods, and cooking for friends. My family is involved in children’s ministry at Sojourn Community Church.
