Tim Conway

Timothy A. Conway (1978 - ). American pastor, Bible teacher, and evangelist born in Cleveland, Ohio. Converted in 1999 at 20 after a rebellious youth, he left a career in physical therapy to pursue ministry, studying at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary but completing his training informally through church mentorship. In 2004, he co-founded Grace Community Church in San Antonio, Texas, serving as lead pastor and growing it to emphasize expository preaching and biblical counseling. Conway joined I’ll Be Honest ministries in 2008, producing thousands of online sermons and videos, reaching millions globally with a focus on repentance, holiness, and true conversion. He authored articles but no major books, prioritizing free digital content. Married to Ruby since 2003, they have five children. His teaching, often addressing modern church complacency, draws from Puritan and Reformed influences like Paul Washer, with whom he partners. Conway’s words, “True faith costs everything, but it gains Christ,” encapsulate his call to radical discipleship. His global outreach, including missions in Mexico and India, continues to shape evangelical thought through conferences and media.

Sermon Transcription
He sent His Spirit to make us holy. And I'll guarantee you this, there's nothing in your life that's evil, corrupt, wrong, dirty, that can withstand the Spirit. This is a mighty Spirit of God. And He is let loose in the life of God's people. And He will accomplish the perfecting of you. And He will make you holy. And without that holiness, you will not see the Lord. Without that holiness, you are not in this. You say, you're preaching works, Pastor. No, I'm not. I'm preaching the power of God unleashed by that cross. I'm talking Jesus Christ Who said, I will send you a Comforter. I will send Him in there. It's the gift of the Father. The promise of the Father. And that Spirit has come into the church. And I'll tell you, His primary work in the Holy Spirit is to make us holy. And it's to make us like Christ. And it's to work that fruit of the Spirit in us. And that's what He's doing. And He will succeed with every single person of God. Brethren, He is moving us towards a position of being fitted together.
