Timothy Cap Diebel

Tim Diebel (1956-) was reared in West Texas as the

younger son of a minister and his Christian educator wife, growing up quite

literally among the pews. After graduating from high school in Abilene, TX, Tim earned

a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas Christian University, a Master of Divinity

degree from Brite Divinity School, and later a Doctor of Ministry degree from Austin

Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Formative work relationships have included

ministry with congregations in Texas and Iowa. In September of 2011 he moved with his wife Lori to a 10-acre Iowa farmstead to learn from scratch how to grow food. Tim

and Lori are certified instructors in Couple Communication, and have conducted

“Romance” and communication workshops in Iowa, Missouri, and Texas integrating

what one participant described as “a broad and somewhat disturbing musical collection.” In addition to writing, Tim enjoys cooking, strumming a guitar, gathering eggs, and being well trained by their two Welsh Corgis - the real heads of the household.
