Tim Wade
I’m a flawed child of God. I came through obesity, anger, and depression into freedom — and I write for anyone still looking for the way out.
A short devotion and a little encouragement, now and then. No noise, no pop-ups, unsubscribe anytime.
In pieces
I’m more than one label.
Not a polished expert — a few different sides of one honest life. Here’s who I am, in pieces.
01
The Author
“I write the story I needed to read back when I was still in the dark.”
Fiction and devotion, born out of a real family and a real faith — never tidy, always honest.
02
The Teacher
“I teach the Word plainly, and I help people learn to read it for themselves.”
Bible teaching and literacy work, side by side. Everyone deserves to read the book that changed my life.
03
The Minister
“I’m not here to preach at you. I just want to point you to Jesus.”
A follower of Christ before anything else — walking with people, not talking down to them.
04
The Man
“I know obesity, anger, and depression from the inside. I am still learning to walk free.”
The hard road came first: the weight, the trauma, the hard living. God met me in all of it.
Life verse · Luke 9:23
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
Verse of hope · Romans 8:18
“Our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
The story
Where I’ve been, and where God has taken me.
For a long time I was heavy in every sense of the word — carrying weight on my body and anger, depression, and old wounds underneath it. I was surviving, not living, and I was sure God had better things to do than bother with me.
He bothered anyway. Slowly, through His Word and people who wouldn’t give up on me, I started to come free. I’m still a work in progress. But I’m not who I was, and that’s the whole reason I write and teach: so someone still stuck in the dark can see there’s a way through.
My mission
As a follower of Jesus, my mission is to help create a world of hope, spiritual transformation, and love — by sharing God’s Word and being a witness of Christ’s love.
The books
Stories from the same honest place.

Pieces in Time
A dual-time story of a daughter, her mother’s fading memory, and the secrets that surface at the end of a life. My first novel — and the one closest to my own family’s road through Alzheimer’s.
“Tim Wade is a fine storyteller and brings the story to a conclusion with some amazing twists.”
— Chuck Richardson
