Develop Leaders & Culture with Matt Rose

Built Through The Battle with Tim Birdwell

Some leaders fold when the pressure hits. Others get forged by it.  In this episode of Lead With Vision from Vision Arizona, we sit down with a Vision Arizona church planter named Tim Birdwell who faced obstacle after obstacle and refused to let adversity have the final word. What looked like setbacks became setup that humbled him, shaped his leadership, and helped their church lock in to the mission of the Gospel. What should have slowed the mission down actually sharpened the vision, strengthened his leadership, and helped build a thriving church culture.  Tim planted Phoenix Bible Church in Phoenix out of the ashes of another movement. He established a fresh vision, created unified language, and led against some pretty incredible odds. Tim also led one of the most impressive church mergers and obtained a beautiful building on 10 acres in the heart of Phoenix.  Whether you're a church planter, revitalizer, or church leader--Tim's story and insights are going to help you navigate hardship and break down barriers. This conversation is about more than surviving hard seasons: it's about leading with resilience, seeing opportunity where others see obstacles, and learning how God can use resistance to produce resilience, clarity, and momentum. If you are planting, leading, rebuilding, or fighting to stay faithful when the odds feel stacked against you, this episode will hit home.  📱Follow Tim: https://www.instagram.com/timbirdwell/  ⛪️ Learn more about Phoenix Bible: https://www.phoenixbiblechurch.com/  📝 GROW WITH US!
