Hi Tim and the Basement. I would love to subscribe to your basement dwellers for your monthly fee. Please tell me how to do so. I truly love your podcast!
I heard an unbeliever say “there’s no hate like Christian love”. I was speechless and it broke my heart bc I knew exactly what he meant. We have to do better fam.
@@kimberlygonzalez2864 same sis, I’ve said critical things the Holy Spirit did not tell me to say & I’ve been on the receiving end of criticism not led by the Holy Spirit. The basement has given me perspective for a lifetime! Excited for us to be better 💕
@@CHERRYSMOXFAM536 Some of us have downplayed our calling to “fit in” with society, friends, and other things because it wasn't popular. Even if it's a “true” calling, it's possible. Not everybody does what God calls them to do.
I soooo relate to Charles. Having so many different versions of yourself can be tiring. Thank God for showing me the freedom in being who he created me to be ❤
The basement is shaping the generation of preachers, teachers, and content creators. It is shaping and reorienting our perspective of the gospel. How we see people, what God is telling us personally, and what He wants to be shared with His people. Thanks, Tim.
When Tim thanks Abby for not running away 🥹🥲💞 The relationship is a symbol to show Gods love for us, & Abby truly has showed Charles the love Jesus has for him through providing that safe place 🙏🏼💝
"Long-term commitment is sexy!" I feel that and commend it so much 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love the idea of monogamy and when done with the right person it could truly be such a beautiful experience. I wish more people felt this way 🤎
Im in my DJ Khaled "Another One" in the basement. I cried, laughed, learned, related with and so much more! All in all, my spiritual appetite is open for more bible. Appreciate the community!!! This is where its at!!!❤🎉😊
Thank u both for sharing this…. I am a green hair wearing, tattooed, fashion lover that is IN LOVE with GoD and for most of my life in church I was made to feel I had to be a certain way to minister to the body of Christ!!! This podcast TUHDAY confirmed what God has been trying to tell me!! I am perfect how I am!! God can use us all!! THANK YOU both for sharing!!
I cannot say how much I appreciate Pastor Charles for the first topic that they covered which essentially was code switching. I will need to listen to this several more times. I am a black woman who was raised by a white stepfather, lived in an all black neighborhood and went to all white schools. Every room that I walk in I evaluate which version of myself I need to be in order to survive and I only breathe when I am at home alone because no one can judge me there. God has taught me that even that is pride but that’s a whole other topic. I just want to say thank you Pastor Charles for going into the basement on that topic.
Charles is super dope💯 so glad he was called into the fashion space🙌🏼 we creative's need Kingdom representation in every arena we can get! #LetsMakeImpact
Tim makes me so comfortable with my calling. When I feel like I'm sharing to much or being too much I remember this is what I was destined to do, be vulnerable, be transparent, authentic, and very loving. And I just love Charles, I would've never known he was dealing with this because I've always loved ho he is fully himself. This is a great episode.
Thank you for this comment. You putting it into the context of a calling really resonates with me because it’s the same for me. Whenever I’m vulnerable I feel so exposed and awkward even though it’s naturally apart of who I am and also partially because I’m still working through my pride.. pride and radical vulnerability do not like eachother 😂 thank you for this comment ❤ God bless you
@@TylerElijah 🥰❤️ it definitely takes vulnerability to share this. I know you will make a major impact, ppl really need us. I will be praying for you. Blessings! 🙌🏾
43:33 I felt every word this man was saying right here. If not for the love of my wife and her being a safe place for me to go to, I don’t think I ever would have developed my relationship with God and become a man I can be proud of. I’m still a work in progress as we all are but this hit me bro. Thank you so much to Tim Ross and Charles Metcalf for this amazing pod. So grateful to be a basement dweller.🤙🤙🤙
Charles was the vessel that God used to give my life to Christ after me not knowing the lord at all at the age of 28! He will always hold a special place in my walk with God. My testimony will always start with him. 🫂
he’s so genuine and honest and relatable. he seems like a dude you’d meet in college and be inspired by or get great advice to, who was then led to being a pastor. not some stuffy, uptight and prosperity gospel preaching pastor, the fact that he’s so young gives me such great motivation. young people are still strong and vulnerable in Christ.
When Charles said " After experiencing what it is to breath in and out normally, I can't hold my breathe, I don't have time to hold my breathe" I felt that. Thank you for this podcast❤
As a adult with past trauma, this episode was so enlightening for me. It’s so tiring to hide behind the many masks trying to conform to “standards” and appease others. Thank you guys for your vulnerability.
I'm only like 40 minutes in and I'm in tears.The journey to become myself has been a struggle for me but, becoming self aware has been the most liberating moment of my life! I know God has much more in store for me and I pray that his purpose would continue to manifest in my life. @TimRoss Thank you so much for being obedient and doing @The basement .I have been blessed over and over. You have absolutely no idea on how these episodes have brought revelation and transformation 🙌 ☺.
I relate 1000% to what Tim said about if people can own up to things, I can work with that! “If you can’t own it, I can’t rock with you.” Taking accountability is the first step to resolution and moving forward. Love this podcast. Thank you both for your obedience and vulnerability as always!!! ❤
My selah was on minute 45 when Charles started talking about his wife being a safe space and I will be unpacking why that was the case for several weeks on end. That hit me HARD
Bro the basement has already helped me a lot. This space is safe for me, and that means so much to me because I identify heavily with the breaths at the beginning of the video. Thank you so much! 💓
I am Charles. i felt a deep exhale when I allowed myself to fully surrender to God and let him help me thru my weakness and be vulnerable in a way to my husband I never thought I was capable of before. thank you Charles for your vulnerability. thank you the basement! Thank you. First time I’ve used words without tears and be open.
Not me in the hairdresser chair.. fighting tears but resonating with everything so far and I’m 56 mins in!!! … I needed this convo, this level of honesty, transparency and vulnerability today… I think Charles is such a gift and blessing to us .. the way he articulates the truth & his truth always hits … thank you so much for this.. the way he speaks of what his wife has done for him 🥹..just by accepting and loving him for who he is has given us the blessing we are seeing and hearing and be led by today.. mannnn!! I just love it.. thank you God, Charles and Tim for this 🤎
Me over here weeping at the 45 minute mark… Charles, that did something in me I will be unpacking for a good amount of time… there is so much power in the give and take of vulnerability and the longing to be a man’s safe place. That empowers in a way I haven’t heard the wife role in a marriage being empowered. Thank you for that, brother! ❤
Absolutely love this! The Holy Spirit definitely convicts us on an individual ,intimate level. What some can do, others cannot. God knows our heart. But we gotta love how He knows what we like! I love that God gave Tim a deal on the chain he wanted. Man,obedience is everything. 🫶
The Church will change the world, when it's most vulnerable! We did it wrong for so many years, and now this video- demonstrates the compassion and love of Christ that Yeshua show to those He healed and God Chose for His Kingdom
The thought of one (or many) of my "secular" friends giving their life to Jesus waters my eyes. God giving you the privilege of that experience is mesmerizing/astonishing/amazing/beautiful/etc. God bless you, Charles. And may you continue Kingdom-building 🤲🏽
Triggered & Blessed by this message. I’m only half way through and have to comment on how incredibly beautiful and transformative it is hearing husbands speak about vulnerability, safety in their spouses, and letting self reflection be the benchmark for relationships. 😢😮❤
Man this pod was a blessing to my spirit. Not only do I feel a calling to create art for the Lord, but to know that it's my soul that I want to have last. Long term goals man! Long term goals is the key to this walk.
This podcast blessed me. But what I really came on here to say is THANK YOU TIM and the TOME squad. I been going through a season of lacking peace in my mind. Lack of peace in my mind resulted in a lack of dedication to my calling/purpose, lack of intentionality in anything I did, low self-care, falling behind in school and in goals, and heaviest of all my faith starting to decrease. One night praying, I felt the holy spirit tell me to watch this podcast. To be honest, I never really paid attention to that Tome ad until I heard the Holy Spirit say "You need to invest in yourself." The more I watched the podcast, the more that statement festered in my head. I bought the entry-level (according to my college student budget lol) course and LET ME TELL YOU, I have been better since the introduction video. Yes, Jesus is and has been my main therapist but there were some things that I just could not figure out until Peace Of Mind, Tim Ross, and Tenitra (Michelle) Williams gave wordage and practical application. Yeah, some of the stuff I was already doing, but there were some things that I avoided until y'all told me to. Everything they said to do (so far because I have more episodes to go) is true, accurate, actually works, and has given me literally "peace of mind". Thank you.
Thank you, Tim. Thank you. Thank you for having Charles Metcalf on. This episode so blessed me!!! I love you. I love what you're doing. You are blowing the doors off that blind us to who we actually are. Thank you!
Okay, I don’t know what just happened, but this was my first exposure to this podcast and the people; the topics shook me to my core. The openness, the insight, the the hurt, the humor, (and I can’t overlook the cinematic, buttery imagery). It’s so crazy to see something God clearly did (this podcast).
I am so glad I heard this conversation. I love God and his ways. I love Yeshua. I live the Holy Spirit. I have tried to walk the religious path. I went to the people of the book and I am learning what I was engrafted into. I realized I was not created to conform. I was created to understand God and then implemented his Love as part of my desires. That is what I am going to do. I will sit with the tax collectors and the sinners and let the love of Yeshua in me flow. I don't know what that looks like. I also know I will be tested but Yeshua promised to be with me and a reward for doing so. Thank you for this.
What Pastor Charles said is really freeing for me!!!! Cause I’ve been many versions of myself but I’m at place in my life now(in my 40s) that all the versions I was is me and I’m just me. When he said tap dancing and holding your breath, that resonated with me.
16:00 so good! I struggled with the multiple identity issue for so long till I finally realized that it's ok to be all that I am. I don't have to choose. God made me this way to give me access to different people.
Its the several octaves Charles' voice dropped when he said "she has been the safest place for me to become the man that I never thought I could be"🥲🥵😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm gonna leave this episode now🙌 I be back tomorrow🚶♀🚶♀
This is the episode I didn't know I needed. I grew up moving around a lot too and as much as it opened me up to the world, it definitely contributed (along with other life events) to me compartmentalising and not knowing how to let the different parts of who I am to exist freely. I'm now trying to let God heal me and I've seen some victories even though full recovery still feels a little far away. Your podcast and your guests always bless us so much, thank you for all the work you do and for freely gifting us with your experiences and outlook on life, I trust the Lord will continue to increase you all.
21:44 No sir! Your doing amazing. Those who are seeking God should else seek the truth. And be prepared for their old nature, conscience and life to wither away. As they listen to you and grow in faith with God. 🤟🏾
Bi-racial/multi-racial kids/people have it tougher than you think. Most of us have identity issues because of how American treats us, that is, both white Americans and black Americans. Its difficult. Thank you for bringing this forth Charles. I would love to offer a female perspective to this.
As I sit at my craft table and create these handmade earrings…I needed this and didn’t even know. Whew. I’ve been on this creative journey since I was little. I was constantly fighting a battle with myself because I was doing something to satisfy my parents and others. Don’t get me wrong, all of those experiences helped me learn about myself and be able to do what I love full time. I never understood what I was going through until I spent a long year of what felt like hell and talking to God. After I changed my view on my dreams, God has been showing out for me!❤️
I’m so thankful that God led me to this podcast and this specific episode. Charles’ story really resonates with me because I’ve been dealing with similar struggles. This video blessed me❤️
Only 26min in and I’m LOVING all the breathing and oxygen analogies (that are fr lol) I’m over here in awe of God allowing me to just breathe deeply in and out🙏🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾
Wow, I truly loved this. So refreshing….. my son shared this with me and it makes me feel even more proud of him. He is of both black and Hispanic ethnicity and because of pastor Charles sharing his truth I learned about my son’s truth. One evening he just sent me this video and the moment PC opened his mouth I knew it was my son telling me what his life experience had been all along. Thank you for spreading the real truth and the for modeling true agape love for His people. One love ❤️
This has been one of the realest,coolest, down to earth podcast I've ever listen to. I didn't want u guys to stop. Love u guys. Charles is the man..... Blessings from Trinidad and Tobago ❤
This podcast just resignated with the deliverance I was seeking 😢 thank you. The normality to want to Serve and live to be free but yet bound. While yet trying to Be Me
this is the 4th time i watched this podcast , i’ve never heard anyone speak and elaborate this way , i desire to be in a safe place where i can breathe and be who God needs me to be this is inspiring
As a designer and creative, I wish I was friends with Charles or people like him. I relate so much and also so convicted during this episode! The creatives are so grateful for you having him. It’s REALLY inspiring man
This help me so much. God keeps revealing things to me and it’s what I prayed for, he KEEPS teaching me how to love the way he did .. he checked me and blew my mind with this one…like, have I been that safe space for my husband of 14 years? Man 🤯💕 and how EVERYONE just wants to hear and feel, “I’m with you.” 🤯💕 and how we need to expand our minds..& the new title he created and concept !! Man sooo good ! 💕 ALL of it. As someone who feels like an artist with my hands tied behind my back..As a creative, trying to figure it out…I just can’t say enough.❤
I absolutely LOVE the production teams laughs in the background on every video. It adds a special layer of interaction to the podcast I wish others would utilize. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥
The FIRST thing I thought of when he said "The Purples"...was, how would we cheer that? ...then Tim. 🤣 I'm an African who grew up in Oklahoma and went to an all white private school, then went to University at Howard.....🤣God is helping me, be me and love me everyday. Great interview!
All of your podcasts are awesome, but this one really hit home for me being biracial. Thank you Charles for being so authentically you!! This podcast was freeing 😊 And I’m a member of Seeds of Greatness Bible Church and Tim your message on “fix your thoughts” was on another level 🙌🏼 All glory to God
I soooo love this podcast and how the authentic presence of God is in it !!! So many of us live in the world that religion has built and all it has created was ignorance. I’m so grateful for TRUTH ! Thank you Tim for all you are allowing God to do and all that your guest are allowing him to do in this podcast . This is soooo dope ! And Charles thank you for killing your alternatives and giving us a window into being our authentic selves with God being WITH us . Lord this was good ! Thank you Basement
17:45 feeling this so deeply in my spirit. I need so desperately to re-integrate the versions of myself that I’ve used to navigate life. I want to breathe deeply in freedom and authenticity.
Is it uncomfortable or are you uncomfortable is my response to people. Like I'm not overwhelming YOU are overwhelmed that has nothing to do with me..but with you!! I love this
I went through all the emotions on this one. Also this video made me finally subscribe cause now I get what the basement is about, it's vulnerability and liberation. Going to start a new internal dialogue with myself now. I used this as a meditation and bible study, had to sleep for an hour after getting halfway cause it got too deep and I kept writing notes, having ideas, praying, crying, I got so exhausted. This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for the life hack will experiment later 😂
I relate SO MUCH with what Charles said about being a youth pastor and struggling with sins, I literally had that "breakdown" moment in a camp 2 days ago and i really hope that God free me from this 😭
Amazing podcast! Such good content. I coulda listened to you and Charles talk for hours n hours. Both your voices are so chill and soothing to listen to. Please bring him back again in the future. This is definitely one of my favorite podcasts. Love n Light
You are kidding me!! I am an alumni from BGHS Charles Metcalfe?!? I’m originally from Bowling Green, KY as well!! Small world. Thank you so much for your transparency and vulnerability!!!

Yeah, some of the stuff I was already doing, but there were some things that I avoided until y'all told me to. Everything they said to do (so far because I have more episodes to go) is true, accurate, actually works, and has given me literally "peace of mind". Thank you.
Thank you, Tim. Thank you. Thank you for having Charles Metcalf on. This episode so blessed me!!!
I love you. I love what you're doing. You are blowing the doors off that blind us to who we actually are. Thank you!
So glad I kept on getting random shorts from this episode pop on my feed. God knew I needed some insight in order to breathe
Excited for this one. The way Tim and Charles deliver the word!!!! Exceptional.
Okay, I don’t know what just happened, but this was my first exposure to this podcast and the people; the topics shook me to my core. The openness, the insight, the the hurt, the humor, (and I can’t overlook the cinematic, buttery imagery). It’s so crazy to see something God clearly did (this podcast).
Nah we need a multi episode-r with Charles! Come back for round 2,3,4
Pastor Charles has been a guiding force for me. I loved this interview!
this podcast has been one of the greatest blessings I’ve ever experienced. No cap.
I am so glad I heard this conversation. I love God and his ways. I love Yeshua. I live the Holy Spirit. I have tried to walk the religious path. I went to the people of the book and I am learning what I was engrafted into. I realized I was not created to conform. I was created to understand God and then implemented his Love as part of my desires. That is what I am going to do. I will sit with the tax collectors and the sinners and let the love of Yeshua in me flow. I don't know what that looks like. I also know I will be tested but Yeshua promised to be with me and a reward for doing so. Thank you for this.
What Pastor Charles said is really freeing for me!!!! Cause I’ve been many versions of myself but I’m at place in my life now(in my 40s) that all the versions I was is me and I’m just me. When he said tap dancing and holding your breath, that resonated with me.
16:00 so good! I struggled with the multiple identity issue for so long till I finally realized that it's ok to be all that I am. I don't have to choose. God made me this way to give me access to different people.
This was one of my favorite ones so far🙏🏼🙌🏼the level of realness on the basement is next level.👏🏼 thank you! Vulnerability is our superpower.⚡️
The honesty, transparency of these discussions helps me grow in my walk with Jesus 🙏🏼
Its the several octaves Charles' voice dropped when he said "she has been the safest place for me to become the man that I never thought I could be"🥲🥵😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm gonna leave this episode now🙌 I be back tomorrow🚶♀🚶♀
And I’m right there with you ❤️ I’ll be chewing on that and how Holy Spirit moved in that moment for a minuteee
“Internally my soul can’t handle but externally my gift can”!!!!! Whew!!!
This is the episode I didn't know I needed. I grew up moving around a lot too and as much as it opened me up to the world, it definitely contributed (along with other life events) to me compartmentalising and not knowing how to let the different parts of who I am to exist freely. I'm now trying to let God heal me and I've seen some victories even though full recovery still feels a little far away. Your podcast and your guests always bless us so much, thank you for all the work you do and for freely gifting us with your experiences and outlook on life, I trust the Lord will continue to increase you all.
I need this more than anything. I thank you Tim Ross. Thank you Charles. Most of all thank You God!!!!!❤
The breathe of life sustains me mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally every day. The inhalation is real!
The background laughs always get me 🤣. I love it.
21:44 No sir! Your doing amazing. Those who are seeking God should else seek the truth. And be prepared for their old nature, conscience and life to wither away. As they listen to you and grow in faith with God. 🤟🏾
Bi-racial/multi-racial kids/people have it tougher than you think. Most of us have identity issues because of how American treats us, that is, both white Americans and black Americans. Its difficult. Thank you for bringing this forth Charles. I would love to offer a female perspective to this.
Man this podcast was beautiful, extremely eye opening and inspiring , all love and prosperity to yall brothers Godbless 🙏🏾!
this is great. I'm only 55:55 mins in. whew I had to pause, take some deep breaths, n even cry a lil bit. thank you for sharing your vulnerability.
As I sit at my craft table and create these handmade earrings…I needed this and didn’t even know. Whew. I’ve been on this creative journey since I was little. I was constantly fighting a battle with myself because I was doing something to satisfy my parents and others. Don’t get me wrong, all of those experiences helped me learn about myself and be able to do what I love full time. I never understood what I was going through until I spent a long year of what felt like hell and talking to God. After I changed my view on my dreams, God has been showing out for me!❤️
I’m so thankful that God led me to this podcast and this specific episode. Charles’ story really resonates with me because I’ve been dealing with similar struggles. This video blessed me❤️
Charles is a wonderfull guy as well. Heart of gold you have Charles. Thank you lord for this man of god too.
Only 26min in and I’m LOVING all the breathing and oxygen analogies (that are fr lol) I’m over here in awe of God allowing me to just breathe deeply in and out🙏🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾
Wow, I truly loved this. So refreshing….. my son shared this with me and it makes me feel even more proud of him. He is of both black and Hispanic ethnicity and because of pastor Charles sharing his truth I learned about my son’s truth. One evening he just sent me this video and the moment PC opened his mouth I knew it was my son telling me what his life experience had been all along. Thank you for spreading the real truth and the for modeling true agape love for His people. One love ❤️
This has been one of the realest,coolest, down to earth podcast I've ever listen to. I didn't want u guys to stop. Love u guys. Charles is the man..... Blessings from Trinidad and Tobago ❤
This podcast just resignated with the deliverance I was seeking 😢 thank you. The normality to want to
Serve and live to be free but yet bound. While yet trying to Be Me
this is the 4th time i watched this podcast , i’ve never heard anyone speak and elaborate this way , i desire to be in a safe place where i can breathe and be who God needs me to be this is inspiring
As a designer and creative, I wish I was friends with Charles or people like him. I relate so much and also so convicted during this episode! The creatives are so grateful for you having him. It’s REALLY inspiring man
This help me so much. God keeps revealing things to me and it’s what I prayed for, he KEEPS teaching me how to love the way he did .. he checked me and blew my mind with this one…like, have I been that safe space for my husband of 14 years? Man 🤯💕 and how EVERYONE just wants to hear and feel, “I’m with you.” 🤯💕 and how we need to expand our minds..& the new title he created and concept !! Man sooo good ! 💕 ALL of it. As someone who feels like an artist with my hands tied behind my back..As a creative, trying to figure it out…I just can’t say enough.❤
I absolutely LOVE the production teams laughs in the background on every video. It adds a special layer of interaction to the podcast I wish others would utilize. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥
Charles that’s my story man!!!
PK Different Narratives! So much freedom in this.
For each and every one of your podcasts, I want to say, thank you for your yes. ❤
Pastor Charles is that guy! love y'all
Great, Great conversation Brothers! Thank you! I pray GOD continues to work in and through ALL of you!
Welcome Pastor Charles! Glad to see you in the Basement!
So thankful for this podcast! I am THANKFUL and GRATEFUL for the authenticity of all of you! ✊🏻
The FIRST thing I thought of when he said "The Purples"...was, how would we cheer that? ...then Tim. 🤣
I'm an African who grew up in Oklahoma and went to an all white private school, then went to University at Howard.....🤣God is helping me, be me and love me everyday.
Great interview!
That conversation towards the end about getting outside your bubble is so good. A lot of sermons can't preach in other countries whew 🔥
All of your podcasts are awesome, but this one really hit home for me being biracial. Thank you Charles for being so authentically you!! This podcast was freeing 😊 And I’m a member of Seeds of Greatness Bible Church and Tim your message on “fix your thoughts” was on another level 🙌🏼 All glory to God
I’m going to check out that message “fix your thoughts”. Thanks for sharing
Loving this podcast❤ from a Canadian fan🇨🇦 who follows TC weekly and The Basement . Glory to God.
God bless you Pastor Charles and your family!!!👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I soooo love this podcast and how the authentic presence of God is in it !!! So many of us live in the world that religion has built and all it has created was ignorance. I’m so grateful for TRUTH ! Thank you Tim for all you are allowing God to do and all that your guest are allowing him to do in this podcast . This is soooo dope ! And Charles thank you for killing your alternatives and giving us a window into being our authentic selves with God being WITH us . Lord this was good ! Thank you Basement
18:18 This really challenged me. These are all the thoughts I've lived with and why I've never said anything to my family.
17:45 feeling this so deeply in my spirit. I need so desperately to re-integrate the versions of myself that I’ve used to navigate life. I want to breathe deeply in freedom and authenticity.
Is it uncomfortable or are you uncomfortable is my response to people. Like I'm not overwhelming YOU are overwhelmed that has nothing to do with me..but with you!! I love this
I went through all the emotions on this one. Also this video made me finally subscribe cause now I get what the basement is about, it's vulnerability and liberation. Going to start a new internal dialogue with myself now. I used this as a meditation and bible study, had to sleep for an hour after getting halfway cause it got too deep and I kept writing notes, having ideas, praying, crying, I got so exhausted. This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Thanks for the life hack will experiment later 😂
I relate SO MUCH with what Charles said about being a youth pastor and struggling with sins, I literally had that "breakdown" moment in a camp 2 days ago and i really hope that God free me from this 😭
This touched my heart in such a deep way... Learning to take deep breaths ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for this
Been crying since the first 10min of this. Y’all dropping some gems thru y’all’s vulnerability
Amazing podcast! Such good content. I coulda listened to you and Charles talk for hours n hours. Both your voices are so chill and soothing to listen to. Please bring him back again in the future. This is definitely one of my favorite podcasts. Love n Light
Listening to this all the way in Malawi, Africa. And man I'm blessed, each time. On every level. Thank Jesus
Yay pastor Charles and Tim for 2 hours!! So excited!! ❤
You are kidding me!! I am an alumni from BGHS Charles Metcalfe?!? I’m originally from Bowling Green, KY as well!! Small world. Thank you so much for your transparency and vulnerability!!!
