Pastor Tim, I have never felt so at home in any space like I have in the Basement. I am 64 years old and starting over after 43 years of marriage ended in divorce. I’ve known few Believers who roll in authenticity like you. Thank you for making a safe space to hear, to feel seen and heard, and to heal. God bless you.💜

Dee-1... you are such a gentle and meek soul. You warm the hearts of your mama, grandma, your papa and your grandpa. You truly are a precious ambassador of your Heavenly Father.

What I've learned from this convo: I should not have to compromise my authenticity to show up in certain rooms.

Everytime i listen to Dee-1 i am more intrigued by this man of God i always take away something from him in tears over this interview , thanks Tim for always coming thruuuu These two absolutely needed to be together

"i see everything in pictures" should be on a t-shirt at this point 😂 💯

Wow this was one of my favorite most authentic, unapologetic, transparent, humble podcast.

Lord cover and keep Dee1…I pray others come to know you Jesus through his presence on those campuses. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Out the gate, this was a really raw and beautiful story. Had this playing in the background while doing tasks around the house, and the authentic conversation truly blessed me beyond measure. Got way more food than I anticipated... Thank you both 🙏🏽

This young man is so beautiful. I love the vulnerability. This is just another characteristic to add to my Dear God Future Husband Letter. ❤

❤Im so grateful to have stumbled upon this young prophet to the generations! I encourage the young and the old to listen to his very first album to the present! The wisdom God has graced this young man with is life changing regardless of your age! He is the epitome of a role model for the youth and young adults!!!! We need to keep him in our prayers!!!!!

In this season of my life, the basement is a gift from God. May God keep you till the very end Dee1, this generation needs you.

Mannnnnn!!! I’ve always loved Dee-1. Praying more wisdom and guidance as God expands your territory!

Love this convo! Definitely need to run this back and have Dee1 on again.

This dude is Fire 💥...he have to come back...I admire his humility, it is real...

Pastor Tim, the autopilot story really broke me😭😭😭

Dee-1… whenever I see his name pop up I KNOW it’s going to be a great podcast! This young man is prolific, he reminds me of Nipsey. Love his authenticity, shine on King 🤴🏽

This podcast got me crying in the first 30 minutes! Wow! What a legacy. So much wisdom in this podcast.

I am one of those people who met Gods bride and had miraculous heavenly encounters but never met Jesus, the real Jesus. Because of your obedience, Tim, my eyes have been opened. My most sincere Thank you to you and your team.

It's such a blessing to listen to men of God just talk. We all need different strings to be able to feel God. Somedays, it might be gospel music. Others days, Christian comedy. Now, it is a podcast. Thank you for feeding educational goodness to our soul.

I feel that code switching view so much. Being biracial it’s been almost automatic to do, because we don’t immediately see “us”, and we gravitate towards sides of ourselves. I’m learning that I shouldn’t be in pursuit of the acceptance of culture, even from my own - as much as I seek what is pleasing to God. Thank you again for fleshing out this topic 🙏🏽

Condolences to Dee-1 and his family. Glory to God Papa is in glory!🙏💓

Dee-1 in the house🙌🏾 This is one for the books for sure. Sooooo good🔥🔥🔥 Much respect Tim Ross.

Not you having me in tears to hear of Dee-1s rich family culture. Thank you for introducing me to Dee-1... was a pleasure to see a young man representing Jesus and His righteousness.

I was just in awe at seeing God at work when we obey Him! Wow. I love how Tim just let’s people speak and be. I also love Dee-1’s accent, it reminds me of my Evangeline 😂😂😂

I can not wait to share this with my 6 and 9 year old boys. I’m a caucasian woman and a mother to 3 biracial children. 2 of which have had a ton of questions about who they’re “supposed” to be or sound or act like and I tell them “just be you, the you that feels right in your heart and spirit because that’s who God sent to this earth” That resonates with them because like this pod I’m authentic with my children in this new walk with Christ so they trust that but I believe this pod with Dee1 and seeing a truly authentic person who loves God and a man who looks to them as exactly what in their minds is cool or at least familiar will be such a blessing for them. They’re young but they GET IT and my 9 yr old is who brought me even into this relationship with God to be completely transparent. He was looking at me for answers and knowledge and that pushed me to find out not even for me at the time but for him. Anyways this pod is a true blessing and I just thank y’all for your obedience! ❤

I think I can officially say that this has been my FAVORITE episode of The Basement so far! I liked Dee-1 since I heard his song “The One” in my single season, but this conversation here!!! I’m like this my brother in Christ FR! The AUTHENTICITY and flow of Holy Spirit between you two in this conversation. Oooooweeee! I shared it with two of my friends before I could even finish. Y’all don’t even know how much confirmation, freedom, and clarity I have received this morning from the things I believe Holy Spirit has spoken to me regarding my Kingdom position as a daughter of King Jesus. Who is also black, a lil-ghetto, a wife, a mama, a daughter, and sister in Christ.🥹 This has been so freeing and gently convicting for the future God has planned for me. Thank y’all so much for this! Until we meet Uncle Tim…🙏🏾🫶🏾

I woke up this morning with so much anxiety and depressed feelings. I was trying to read my word and meditate but the anxious thoughts kept clouding my mind so much I couldn’t just sit and pray. So I turned this podcast on and believe me it touched my soul and gave me so much peace! I love the basement team and Dee1 so much! I’m a Louisiana native 🎉so this just touched my soul so much. Keep being y’all. Y’all really are changing people lives with these conversations! ❤

The conversations. The synergy. The testimonies. The love. This episode moved me in ways I never expected. Shout out to Tim Ross and the team. We appreciate you all..Dee-1 is a gift and i'm super excited about his assignment too. I'm definitely going to support our brother and get my hands on David found his slingshot. Major love from London,UK.

I found out about this channel less than five days ago, and it had become the only thing I do in my free time 3 of those 5 nights since then. These kinds of honest conversation are where I am at. This is why ten years ago I didn’t get married because he really wanted to be a leader, and I was wanting to be a Moses “go with” follower. I sensed it, and God had other plans for me. I am want to learn more and keep being honest. This is where it is at, this podcast. I used to listen to the podcast Beautiful Anonymous. It reminds me our histories and stories are important. I am blown away at how refreshing and convicting these conversations are. The Holy Spirit... So thankful…

I absolutely loved this podcast, the authenticity and vulnerability of Dee 1. The fact he is so young, not shying away from his assignment is wonderful. Keep doing what you are doing, God is using you to reach no only your generation but others to follow behind....impact the world.

In my top 3 interviews thus far!

THIS, this right here made me tear up. Dee-1 is such a beautiful soul and I felt nothing LESS than the presence of God all through this video. Thank you so much Tim for The Basement!

Wow! What an insightful young man, I passed this video onto my grandson. I love Dee-1.

This was AMAZING!! It's so awesome to see a young man called and purposed by God not being afraid of his assignment!!

I love Dee 1 this brother is sooooo wise n beyond his years. just a light out here! Great interview!!! 🙌🏼⚔️💪🏼💜

New Orleans in the basement, I’m ready for this.

awwwwwwwwwww mane these podcasts being getting some heat not only the basement which is top tier but B.Simone and Meagan podcast had Jackie Hill Perry, Ruslan had Dee-1, Hardly initiated had Tim and Lecrae. I want to hear Tim thoughts on the disagreement between Dee-1 and his cousin.

I recently heard of Tim Ross in the basement. I was thrilled to see Dee-1 as a guest. Today was my first time listening to this podcast and I'm here for it all!

Man, I think he has been the most impacted guest for me... along with Jackie and Jenna. I'm praying for the woman the LORD has set aside for this man of Valor!!! I am blown away and so grateful that he truly is living out! God bless you, David - man after God's own heart! I pray to meet you and hug your neck someday!

The way Tim screamed when Dee-1 pulled his phone out to show his dm😂😂😂😂

from Trinidad and Tobago ,Caribbean, This conversation was greaaaaat. awe inspiring, DEE 1 is an exemplar to YOUTHS. Blessings young Man, and thank you Tim Ross

God isn’t a backseat rider, He is the Driver!!!!

"Acting failed because of my authenticity..." That'll preach!

This was beyond heartwarming man, like just beautiful. I am a Louisiana native and resident, so Dee 1, Aha Gazelle, Starringo, Reece Leche, we appreciate the representation that y'all bring. And Tim thank you for creating a space like this where they get to share it. The @HardlyInitiated with LeCrae, then you and Dharius Daniels, now Dee-1, it's so 🤯🤯 Y'all don't ever stop. This is work. 1828 Webster definition of work. 👏🏾

I’m having the worst day at work. Made me so angry inside that my eyes got watery. When I’m angry, I wanna cry. Finally got to have lunch and I came here. And the first 11:30 minutes have calmed my nerves tremendously ❤. The Basement will forever have a place in my heart ♥️. I’m bout to cry now. Whewww okay let me pay attention

This was so positive and encouraging and enlightening. I love this so much

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAN OF GOD! DEE -1 YOU ARE SO IMPACTFUL IN THIS KINGDOM OF GOD.

It’s the toes for me 😂 every time that man moved I saw some toes😂😂😂. Such an edifying conversation. Thank you.

This episode left me feeling encouraged and served as confirmation for me to continue forward in my own assignment. Thank you both for staying faithful, vulnerable, and authentic. This really blessed me today and it’s why I love it here in the basement! 😊🎉

I’ve been looking forward to this one!

This conversation made me weep on the inside with exultation as well as conviction. Every time i see something Dee-1 puts out it challenges me to examine the authenticity of my own faith....and identifies areas ive been compromising. Thank you both, Men of God for being raw, vulnerable, and standing firm on Christ as your foundation. God is doing something mighty thru both of your platforms and i pray you continue to steward it well. Many blessings upon you both!❤🙏🏾.

I’m so happy you had this interview for us

I've been waiting on this one! I felt the fire before I even pressed play! 🔥 I love Dee1's and Tim's boldness and non-compromising when it comes to faith. I think this is what people need - you are both made for such a time as this. May the Lord continue to light your paths!!

ANOTHER powerful interview!!! I loved the chemistry in this conversation and even got teary eyed a few times when Dee 1 was talking about his family and him being blessed to be the vehicle used to give the men in his family the courage to honor their feelings by crying. This whole pod was very refreshing. Keep up the great work!!

These conversations here in the basement are so valuable. I wish I can put words to it. Thank you for creating this space.

Every interview with Dee-1 I’ve listened to has been phenomenal! And this is is even more so. Great job to the basement team. Need a repeat with this great man of God! May the Lord God continue to bless the works of your hands.
