About the Speaker: Tim Batdorf
Tim and Shelley Batdorf are passionate about helping people thrive and deepen in their relationship with Jesus and learning to abide in Him. They have ministered to all ages through local churches and are hard-pressed to answer what their favorite age or life-stage might be. Along with church ministry, Shelley enjoys teaching, especially at the college level, and Tim was honored to be an instructor at Talbot School of Theology. Together they lead retreats on prayer, solitude, spiritual disciplines, and Christian formation.
Tim and Shelley are graduates of Talbot School of Theology (Biola University, La Mirada CA) and the Institute for Spiritual Formation where Tim earned his MDiv and Shelley her MA in Christian Education and Spiritual Formation. Tim is also a Spiritual Director and Marriage and Family Therapist (MA, Adler Graduate School). With their daughter, they cherish time together as a family, enjoying road trips time up north, cooking together, and just hanging out.
