According to Stereo Truth, in red carpet interviews Tim has said…

My dad has been a pastor my whole life. I grew up in a home where faith was extremely important. I feel like my music is a reflection of God’s impact in my life. I’m definitely unashamed to be a Christian and I’m blessed that he has given me so much success.
