The fact that you’re only 21 and deciding to make a change is crucial. It never to late to change unless God decides your time is up. Some people don’t come to your realization until they are much older and the damage is done. Please don’t ruin your life Jesus has so much more for you! I’m 22 and I don’t want that story when I have the chance to change now before my poor decisions affect my future marriage and future children.
Goodluck man..I've been in recovery for going on 10yrs..its a battle but God had to sit me down in prison and lose everything to find him. Good for you! Follow him with faith and he WILL show you a new way of life. Stay strong and make sure you do the steps, but also 1 on 1 therapy to get the necessary things out you need to! God bless.
I'm 37 and just found him again almost 8 years ago. Doing it at your age is amazing..I've seen death personally and lost many friends an school mates to addiction. Proud of you brother! He's been with you the whole time waiting on you to find him, or wouldn't of saved you from the 7 overdoses!
I want to agree with Tim on the way God does bless us with the gift of speaking in tongues. I remember being baptized (born again) and everyone receiving their gift (of speaking in tongues) BUT me! I remember being sad and when I got home while praying at around 4am, JUST like Tim described, I began to speak in a language I could not understand! I knew it was not me and I knew I could not understand it, but it just flowed out of my mouth. It was with such ease and there was a certainty within me that God had just blessed me with such a beautiful gift. I was so happy that morning! My God just drew in a little closer that morning. I was so thankful! I cried and cried tears of JOY! That happened at 17 years old for me and I am 35 years old now and I just love to trust God and flow in the Spirit. I'd say to anyone wanting to receive the gift; it won't make sense... trust God and let it flow! It may never sound like anything you have ever heard or will hear. Never stop being hungry to receive all of God's gifts! God can do it!
I liked where you talked about the egg. And vulnerability being your superpower. Recently after watching an online sermon the Holy Spirit revealed something that blew me away. He showed me a family pattern that has affected my current behavior. As I processed it with Him, He continued to show me more about something I've been working on. And how they are related.🤯 This experience came to mind as you talked about doing your own work. As I do my own work, I'm changing. I can't do other people's work. Thanks for that reminder! I also enjoy the YT live-s.❤
Funny u mentioned this. As the Lord has been also highlighting the details of family cycles as well for me. Encouraging. I'm right where I'm supposed to be. Thanks for sharing. He's Worthy!!
Just curious Tim... 1st. Thank all of you for your obedience, time and energy that yall put into this podcast. It gives me a healthy perspective on living life the correct way. Tim, what causes your abandonment issues being that you had a great healthy upbringing. Thank you in advance and God continue to bless yal life!
Tim I love how real you are in your walk with life and helping so many people. Real deal I was nervous to watch this time but God would not let me stop listening to the very end. When, you shared about your first 24 months and helping that married couple it just resinated with me and helped me in my healing process of the last 5 years. My name is Johanna and if you see this please pray for me and my husband in our restoration of our marriage I would appreciate it so much.
Can you guys do this every Monday? I love that you guys want to reach people live and I would love to ask questions too , appreciate all the advice and faithfully wait for the premieres of your pod lol signed a faithful basementer
HECTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missed your laugh my friend. 🥺. Hope you feel better!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 Loved the live!!! I got a few questions answered thru other people. Blessings!!! ❤❤❤❤
I have watched pretty much all of your podcasts but this one 😢. I feel like God spoke to you because he knew what I was gonna pray and cry to Him about tonight before watching this podcast. Thank you for listening to Him 🙏🏾
@TheBasement Put out as many Podcast's ill speak for myself and can say I can listen to what you saying 24/7 because its eye opening, in ways one needs to be self aware of who i am and who is around me.
My friend told me her church "taught' her to speak in tongues...like they had a class on it...and that all the churches she grew up in were like that. My brain thought...*I didn't know that was TAUGHT, I thought that was something that just happened and God dropped it on you*...Make it make sense Tim....
This is the "Discussion" I needed to stay in tune for, because what was mentioned in 45-50min is how and what i needed to hear based on a past experience. As adults we supposed to speak through things not hide and run.
I just stumbled on to this after spending several hours watching RU-vid videos of Tim and Preston. I didn't realize my notifications were off.😢 I won't miss another live chat if I can help it! ❤
You guys got me on this one. This came as a huge surprise to me 'cos I receive y'all content in Nigeria on Wednesday and on Friday. So seeing this post was a shock and a beautiful surprise as well. I was like is this a episode I missed or what's going on. Then I saw that this was posted a few hours ago. Thanks for the surprise,Tim. Shout out to Juli, Hector, Sammie, Love you guys💕
I was on for about 20 min then i had to hop off to prep dinner for the kiddos, but the title....yo i was literally about yo ask some questions on this topic like🧐🧐🧐. Im going to make a cup of ☕ and enjoy the pod after my quiet time... Should we go live every Monday yaaaaaaas for da Lord!🙌🏿 From Owings Mills Maryland baby!
I watch the pods in my car, so it takes me till the next Tuesday to be caught up 😂 but it feels great to always have something to watch/listen to. Love y'all!
I really appreciate the open rebuke of purity culture. I'm 37 and still struggling with its brainwashing, feels like I'm alone in it, and I still hear snippets of purity culture in the churches I usually attend. Honestly the whole thing has strained my loyalty to the church. So it's very refreshing to hear Christians not hedge or hmm-haw, but directly repudiate it
Great advice to feel the emotions. Feels great. I relearning how to feel now. I used to bury everything so as not to have a wicked heart l but that wasn’t the way to go
@TheBasementPodcast Hi, Tim! I don't know if you have ever read the prodigal God by Timothy Keller. It talks about the feast at the end of the prodigal son in Luke 15 in part of the book. And how we focus on the prodigal son but lack the focus of the elder brother to come into the feast. And how as a church we look up to more elder brothers than the prodigal sons who don't feel welcome in the church. Both are sinners but we make the elder brother look good because of how he has done everything right. (self-righteousness) The feast is meant to bring both together and feast in peace. No wonder we have a lot of prodigal sons that don't wanna come to church. Hopefully this makes sense, I digress because there's so much more context for it. (This is to piggyback on what you are learning now and about the feast you talked about)
I’m watching the replay. I would really love to sign up for the Dwellers. Can someone please give me the information to become a member? I already follow on all platforms. I mainly watch on RU-vid.
At 29:09 when he’s talking about how God told him that was his wife… how do we know that it’s God telling us that and not us just hoping that that is the truth? I’m struggling with this right now. How do I know the man I’m talking to is who God wants me to be with rather than just who I want God to approve of?
So when Tim was talking about who he was going after referring to homer and the bushes it made me think about what I believe apostles do - round up the sheep and tend to the flock. I by no mean am concrete in this 😅AND when Tim was talking about that it instantly made me think about how apostles go out to shepherd.
Caitlin's question is so me 😭...I am VERY scared, ALWAYS hiding...(Faith Massok from South Africa, Cape Town, Mitchell's Plain - 13/06/2023 - @ Work 15h49)...
Ok I’m upset that anyone in a church would THREATEN a member from leaving. I’ve seen that happen from my mother church during church planting the church I came from had a be pastor that SPIRITUALLY threatened members who wanted to support the church plant. Sadly, it worked. It’s only more 5 years later that many mother church members have their eyes open to the manipulative spiritual threatening they were under and many have come to the church plant to apologize. We have to ask for spiritual discernment because the spirit of covert narcissism & manipulation in the church is a hot mess. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Here for that dating methodology and that it applies to both genders. Go on and rebuke that purity culture, yes here for my femininity not being smothered and weaponized. Oh yes to the formation. Go on Tim.
Not sure if this will be seen or if this question will be selected for answering, but I’m going to go for it. Can Tim give me advice on this issue: I am a deep rooted Christian who is divorced with 2 kids. We’ve been apart for 11 years. My ex has become an atheist since we parted. Our daughter who is almost 14 is wrestling with her sexual identity. As a follower of Christ, I tell her I love her and also tell her that that’s not who God created her to be. Her father on the other hand celebrates this & buys her pride paraphernalia. Besides praying for her & speaking truth to her, is there anything else I can do to help steer her through this?
1:08:19 were you giving an example? Does there need to be an interpretation every single time you do it? I’m coming from a perspective I want to believe and understand but haven’t been able to get over certain hurdles.
What’s up Tim and Cruze. I’m From NC. Please check your compressor for the future. I know you’re trying to cancel background noise but, with Tim’s personality and different voices you are cutting his high frequencies TOO much. Thanks for all you guys do and keep an ear to what GOD says and DO that work. SODOPEFIYA🔥👊🏾🙏🏾
Will God forgive me for leaving my husband who is verbally mentally and psychologically abusive? We have a daughter together and I just kept hearing you don't want him to be the example that is set for your daughter. Even if it is her own dad. I've left 5 times now and I believe this is the last. He always guilt tripped me into coming back because of biblical reasons. I honestly see him as a narcissistic personality kind of person. I was not perfect either. But I couldn't take feeling like I was sinking jnto a black nothingness and blamed all the time for any and everything that went wrong. I couldn't let my daughter see her dad treating her mom like that. There's just a guilt he put in me about leaving and "God is going to punish you since you're the one who left" not him the one who has cheated and treated me like the dirt that the shoe picked up after dog poop. 😢
