Welcome to episode 6 of the 40acts Generosity Challenge podcast!
Today, Ruth is joined by Tim Gallagher, online fitness coach, founder of ‘Powered By Purpose’ and host of the ‘Morning Coffee with Tim’ podcast.
Tim shares how his faith has become a more intentional part of his online presence and how 40acts arrived at exactly the right moment in his discipleship journey. From prayer videos mid‑run to simple acts of kindness, Tim reflects on how God has been prompting him to be more generous and more open about his faith in everyday life.
“If it helps one person or if it helps 100 people, it doesn’t really matter. It’s all for the glory of God.’”
