Tim Enochs

Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins is based on Tim Enochs' book "The Street Sweeper", who also produced the film Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins. Tim was not always a writer and film, producer, however. In fact, he once worked a very different job. For eighteen long years Tim Enochs worked in manufacturing and banking, and he had a very successful career-- by the world's standards. Tim, however, realized God had a different purpose and calling for his life. Tim Enoch quit his money making job, and began coaching for an organization called Building Champions, a business that helps other businesses do what they were created to do. Like mentoring, but on a bigger scale. Tim knew God was not done yet, so he began writing books based on the lessons he learned the hard way. His first book "Every Day Is A Game Day" reminds readers that the choices the make today (or the ones they do not make) will have a profound influence on their future. In his second book "The CHILD Game Plan," Tim addresses the importance of having a vision for your child. It is his third book, however, on which Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins is based. Through his books, and numerous hours of speaking, Tim Enochs encourages individuals to discover their purpose in life, and live it out. Tim has been married to his wife Laura since 1984, and they have two children, Adam and Bethany.

Themes Of The Film

The film Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins features several valuable themes that viewers of all ages can learn from. The most important, is the goal of the film itself, which is to point viewers towards the Word of God as the source of ultimate authority, as well as direction for their lives. As many of the characters in Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins illustrate-- especially Austin and Marnie-- healing for friendships, marriage, families, and communities often start with recognizing the Word of God as a source of wisdom and instruction. Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins strongest theme is the idea that Scripture is not just a "once a week on Sunday" thing, but a valuable instruction manual and encouragement for everyday living. Especially the Monday through Saturday life. The film Welcome To Inspiration: Where Hope Begins features other valuable themes. Forgiveness and the ability to move on after hardship or loss are highlighted throughout the film through the lives of the struggling characters. For many healing started with forgiveness, and forgiveness started with someone pointing out the word of God. For others, healing began when they opened up their hearts once more to allow God to use others to fill them with love, peace, and joy once more. And, as many discover, healing often begins when you lay aside your own desires and look to the needs of others.
