Diffuse was born from bourbon.
It has been our experience that Jesus gives the best ideas, and provides the most meaningful shared moments in a relaxed setting amongst good friends. This is how Diffuse was born and it’s within similar environments where we see the next generation of church planting flourishing.
With over 120 combined years of spiritual entrepreneurship - the Diffuse Network team has empowered over 300 young adults into ministry and planted over 35 ministries in the US and around the world.
Our hope is to inspire you to do the same for the next generation.

At his heart, Tim is a spiritual entrepreneur whose personal mission is to help people discover God’s dream for their life through inclusive communities. In addition to being part of the launch team for the Diffuse Network, Tim launched Sojourn Collegiate Ministry in 2005, a college ministry that creates communities for more than three hundred students, 80% of whom are exploring faith for the first time. When Tim isn’t building something new, he’s likely discovering a new band or museum with his wife of 32 years.
