Tim Py: Bridge Builders & Healers

Today, we’re chatting with my dear friend, missionary and teacher in Spain: Tim Py.

Tim grew up in a French/German family in Spain as the second of four brothers. He is an ENFJ and a crazy 4 romantic idealist in psychology quizzes–and he loves adventure. Tim is a surf instructor who has helped develop a missional community in the surfing culture in the last decade, mainly through teaching and pastoring. He currently serves in a community that helps youth coming out of crisis find restoration in a stable, healthy environment.

Today, Tim and I chat about the universal need we all have for connection: whether interpersonal, cross-cultural, or spiritual, how to work with the most authentic, messy, and chaotic art of all: ourselves, how getting in touch with faith and identity helps us heal even when we lose stability, comfort, and health in life–and how to make practical space to engage the deepest parts of who we are.

You can find and connect with Tim through his Instagram handle, @timandtheworld.
