Timothy Willard
Writer. Teacher. Theologian of Beauty.
I work at the intersection of literature, theology, and wonder—helping others rediscover beauty as a form of wisdom, resistance, and presence.
My writing explores how longing, landscape, and silence become languages of belief. I teach and mentor those who want to live attentively, speak meaningfully, and witness beautifully in a fractured world.
