Episode Description from the Publisher

On Episode 33 of The Storytellers Podcast, host Andrew Erwin sits down with Bart Millard of MercyMe and singer-songwriter Tim Timmons for an honest and inspiring conversation about friendship, faith, music, and the upcoming Feature Film "I Can Only Imagine 2". Bart and Tim share how their friendship was formed through years of touring and songwriting, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of music careers, personal sacrifice, and staying grounded amidst success. They open up about how their faith has shaped their lives, guided their creative work, and carried them through seasons of doubt and uncertainty. The conversation also dives into the powerful story behind the song “Even If,” a song rooted in real-life pain, trust, and surrender, and how that story has now inspired the upcoming film I Can Only Imagine 2, the highly anticipated sequel following the impact of I Can Only Imagine. Bart and Tim reflect on what it’s like to see deeply personal moments translated to the big screen and what they hope audiences take away from the film. Learn more about your ad choices.
