I wouldn’t even know where to begin….not enough space but the transformation from the basement…. Raw, I don’t want to hear it messages piss me off and bless and convict me in the same breath…..also being a single mom of 13yr old boy….the conversations that I have with him…based off of these episodes….🔥🤯🔥🤯🔥🤯🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This podcast speaks my heart and has brought clarity to the biblical understanding of several subjects. Thank you for being spiritual and not religious.
I love the realness and the transparency. I also love the boldness of Tim who is going to say what needs to be said. Thanks for allowing us to Press B to come get healed, delivered and set free from the religious bagged that we have been carrying
I haven’t seen all the episodes, but every one that I’ve watched and listened to God has used to speak wisdom, clarity and understanding to me. Perspective that I needed. I never knew our testimonies were so similar, except I was in darkness for much longer, I was romancing suicide, and God had to approach me and woo me in stages. His deliverance in my life has been powerful and subtle, but now getting more exponential as I surrender more of my life to Him. Thank you for being obedient to the Father. We need to talk about all the things you’re speaking about. God bless you, your family, friends, church and everyone around you.
About an Hour into the video Tim uses an example, “My mom was always there for me and she was jealous of me.” That instantly made me think of Jennette McCurdy 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 and her whole situation with her mom. I pray that anyone who experienced this SPECIFICALLY would experience the Holy Spirit healing their hearts and their minds right now. It’s SOOO heartbreaking to me how broken a lot of families truly are. Let’s pray y’all 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💚
I asked our Youth Pastor to specifically lead a message with the youth on singleness. This is something heavy on my heart. So..I'd like to add that singleness is and should be a total vibe. It's everything. It should be seen as a season of self awareness and growth. It's legit the time you should be preparing for whatever God has in store. Your goal when you're in that season is simple, stay on the path, walk with Christ daily, be in the Word daily, serve whole heartedly, be kind and should dating/marriage be in that future the Holy Spirit will show you who that is when you're ready. Know that the lack of time spent embracing singleness is a large part of why so many marriages end in divorce. Why? Because most people inadvertanly make gods of their spouses and their children and neither can take the place of Jesus Christ.
Lately, I make it a point, as soon as I open my eyes in the morning I thank God. Also I tell him why I'm grateful. Sure, there are things (meaning spiritual gifts, a husband) I've prayed for but I'm learning to be content, regardless.
I love all of your podcasts, but I think this is my favorite one. This is like my 3rd or 4th time watching this one because this one feels like my eye-opener, my saving grace, the epiphany I needed when it comes to just freedom in general. This was the take-off for me, freedom from pornography, low self-esteem, passivity, self-praise, self-pity, being a workaholic, JESUS! I didn't even realize being a workaholic was targeted toward me until after I received this revelation on Weds Jan 4th, 2023. Bruh I saw this at least the first or second week in December of 2022. This thing is that good Timbo!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I appreciate you for being obedient to God's call to use you where he sees fit. IT'S ALL A CHOICE! WE GET TO CHOOSE AND I WILL FOREVER MORE CHOOSE YOU LORD!
Wooowww.... When I say this podcast just really cuts through. There's always one to two lines in every episode that speaks directly to my spirit. This line is was for me. " Why is it taking so long?... Because You dying! That's what the wilderness is for. To kill the part of you that was never supposed to make it to the promise land."
God bless you sis, sometimes even people we look up to, or leaders that have good intentions and mean well, can fall short, even all pastors at the end of the day are flawed, yet prayerfully striving toward the Character of Christ..the Bible is literally crystal clear about EVERYTHING, sometimes we simply may not yet have certain spiritual revelation.. pornography and masturbation fall under the umbrella of sexual immorality, which the Bible is expressly clear about..I believe he spoke out of pressure to give an immediate answer, without pausing for context on what was really being asked, which can happen to anyone doing live recordings..I absolutely love and admire Tim like the big brother I never had,☺️ set an alarm for his pod😅 and knowww his heart is definitely in the right place, which is why I am praying for my brother, that the grace of God continue to cover him and even allow an opportunity in the future for him to redeem this moment with greater clarity on behalf of his listeners.😊
That don’t quit was for me! Entrepreneurship can be so weighty at times and often I think about just getting a stable job. Yet, I know my cafe is God’s vision for me. I’m learning things would be easier if I stewarded better. Also that slow times aren’t evidence Gods not in it any more. He’s present in the slow even when my short comings make things feel tighter than they are.
I just want to scream from the highest mountaintops here in New York!! I'm in a dark season but I see the rainbows thru you!!. Thank you for reminding me THAT GOD IS GOOD!! I MAY NOT BE GOOD BUT HE IS!!!! AMEN AND THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SCARED, CONFUSED, YET LOVED BY GOD, HEART. THANK YOU X INFINITY. YOU FILLED MY HEART AND YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ARE A BLESSING. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
This basement podcast has provided me with clarity on a lot of issues. I love this podcast and the unsuspecting people that it pounces on and bless them. Thank You Jesus!!!!
My husband and I have been married for a year and half. We've been friends for 32 years. I say all the time, we are speaking two different languages. Thank you for your comment about marriage sucking for 24-36 months! I sometimes feel like we're always going to be going around this mountain. This gives me hope! I'm so grateful for what you're doing here😀
Took me and my hubby 2-4 years to get good together we loved each other but we had past hurts from childhood too break free from .. we were 22&23 and now almost 9 years of marriage and grateful for our struggle can now help other newly married ppl.
Another 🔥 pod!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about predestination & women preaching. Yes, Stephanie Ike's revelation of scripture is amazing! I've been following her years. Tim, your vulnerability is truly a gift. Thank you. I pray any man watching who is struggling with porn will receive hope from your transparency. ❤️
The Basement is an amazing podcast. I started listening to the Basement after you guys showed up on Dear Future Wifey. I have learned a lot since I started following DFW, but since I joined the Basement, I am amazed by the things that I did not know. I have learned more from these podcasts than I have learned from a lifetime of going to church, and everyday there's something new. Still trying to catch up on the episodes and look forward to learning so much more. I am also terrified at times too, because I get convicted so much by some of the things Tim says. I love the 'real-ness' that is displayed here. The Basement is a blessing to me and for sure is going to bless my kids by how I live my life in Christ. Everyday is a struggle, but I trust the Holy Spirit to continue to convict me when I go astray.
God bless you!! Thank you for allowing us to see that moment when you spoke over your children before they went to sleep. That had to be my favorite moment from this episode. Thank you for being real and transparent with us. I thank God for your obedience to step overboat and follow God to be a podcaster in this season! May God continue to bless and keep you, your family, your team and all the true basement dwellers.
Man 🙌🙌🙌🤯🤯🤯 My mind..my soul is just blown away right now!! EVERYONE needs to get to the basement RIGHT NOW!! I thank you all for all the work & faith you share with us soooo amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I been listening to the Basement for about 2 weeks. It has drastically awaken in me a burning desire to serve the Lord and seek his calling in my life 🙏🔥
Word hits every single time!!! Never miss ! I can start a video & come back weeks later & it’s absolutely everything I need to hear ! God’s timing man!! Amen❤️🙌🏼
The boys' blessings as they went to sleep had me in tears. Would love to see Tim discuss his opinion on corporal punishment given all the parenting wisdom. I've heard differing interperations of the 'rod of correction.' Some say it's a shepherd's staff, and thus isn’t for physical violence; others say physical consequences are necessary. Personally, I feel like if hitting a spouse is domestic abuse and hitting a pet is animal abuse, how is hitting a child not abuse? I'm aware there's a spectrum on the topic (light spanking vs. rulers vs. gentle parenting, etc.), but I would greatly appreciate another senior in the faith's perspective.
Loving this. I like that we have similar parenting views. I am that parent that influences my children to try things even when they are scared. When I took my daughters to IFly one was literally crying and I told her just try it once for two mins, if you hate it at least you know bc you tried it. I’m also that mom that tells my children go down the crazy steep hill with those rollerblades, you won’t go beyond the pavement. If you fall, you’ll get up, maybe get a scratch but it will be a thrill. Now, with my adult children I’m at the listening, and giving advice stage. I’m learning to do more listening and not just project my first thought bc I’m learning to be mindful. It’s not an easy transition nor easy to turn off that parenting stage to advice stage but it’s a necessity to establish the relationships God wants us to have with our kin. Big ups to the basement crew and Tim.
I came cross this podcast just scrolling laying in the bed I have been connected to for 5months now from an accident I was in 8 months ago 2/20/22 my faith has definitely gotten stronger during this whole time and I know I am going to overcome this and my level in christ is going up this basement is keys and tools to help me along the way but you Tim Ross are my personal mentor I am just a few years younger than you I can understand you and your expounding of different things I have heard all my life being a PK is incredible I will literally listen to u and then go and ask or refer with my dad and have the best feeling like yes I finally understand it I love you guys please continue your obedience to God is providing life/soul saving/changing information peace and blessings
Tim you are a vessel of god and your words and actions on the basement cast is so amazing and you speak so beautifully and to the point and love that and how much god speaks volumes through you brother tim! You’re a blessing Tim you and the basement! Just want to say thank you fam and proud to be part of this with you and our family! Thank you!
This podcast is really a life coaching service. Only watched two episodes so far, but have pages of notes to take away from this. Please keep doing what u doing. I needed this. So much fog is being cleared up spiritually. Blessed.
This was such a great episode and had me a little emotional at the end.. God is so real to me because I went out and tried Him. He spared me from death’s door..😢😢😢
I look forward too hearing what the Lord has to say thru Tim, he is a person of God who tells it like it is, he is not going to sugar coat anything. I pray that will continue to use Tim to speak his word, and that he will be blessed richly!!!❤
The basement has impacted me to honestly just be better and do better. I e learned Soo much from this podcast and have been able to live a more authentic life and learning how to not be scared of ambiguity. I have also been able to share this podcast with non-believers in Jesus, church hurt individuals and having them really enjoy this podcast and it become their favorite podcast! Thank you Tim for your obdedience. Everytime I listen to this podcast I thank God for this podcast and for your obedience and wish you the best!
Love you Pastor Tim! Thank you for your authenticity, wisdom, and transparency. Praying continued blessings over you and the family as you continue to serve, AND lead by example for the water walkers 🙏🏾
My husband is the Youth Pastor of a church in South Central LA. The similarities of experiences (even kids...lol we have a Kaleb and Knoah, though Kaleb was almost Nathan) & overarching view of the word of God is uncanny. Listening to the podcasts has provided affirmation, confirmation, growth, boldness, encouragement and so much more, to keep moving forward in ministry. Thank you for standing on the wall, crying aloud, being a watchmen along with your wife and children. You are needed, appreciated and we praise God for you all (the entire team).
There was a question at the end asking if it was a sin to masturbate if you're not using porn and I have an answer for it. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says Therefore whether you eat or drink. OR WHATEVER YOU DO, do all to the glory of God. I used to masturbate to stay celibate. I never used porn or other images. But my mind was tormented in order to achieve an orgasm with memories of past partners and other fantasies that were straight up demonic. There were few times the sensation alone was enough to relieve me. I would say to ask God if masturbating is bringing Him glory. Is it something you intentionally do for God? Is it holy? Is it righteous? How can God play a part in that part of your life? For me, the answer is crystal clear. It wasn't bringing God glory. It was a band aid for a desire that is really only supposed to be satisfies within covenant between two people. I pray my insight was helpful❤ I LOVE THE BASEMENT!
The basement has helped me a lot with my walk with the Lord. Thank you all for the work you do! I’m glad I found the basement!!!! Let’s goooooooooooooo! Much love y’all
I'm so Blessed to be connected back with my Pastor Tim Ross. Such a great enthusiast for the Kingdom of God!! Do it you all in the basement! I love it!!
Thank you Tim for reminding me of how I was once bound to porn and forgot how Jesus beautifully freed me and I never looked back. This message as always was so impactful on just how Jesus freed me from porn and change my life for better. I needed this reminder on my journey on being freed from food and walking on the path that God has called for me.
Thanks for talking about the disrespect of time that occurs with single people in the church! Whew!! Also, to the point of some patriarchal churches that say the single pastors would be tempted sexually… They tend to say that as though married people and married leaders in the church ain’t tempted sexually or actively engaging in illicit sexual activity with someone who is not their spouse. It is not about marital status; it’s about a heart posture! Thank you for saying it, Tim! Love you bro!
You and Preston at last. You have no idea how much I am dancing. That man's message and his ways captured my attention a beat before I knew about you and that was when he followed you preaching at Gateway last year. But even though I heard you first, his Oil of the Spirit messages spoke to me big time and I was hooked on those messages before I finally followed him to TH-cam and realized that man is ANOINTED. I have listened to allllll his stuff on his site back to 2013, and relistened to a ton of it and relistened blah blah blah. And somewhere in there I equally fell for the way you teach. But the two of you are FIYAH. Absolutely. So much so I sometimes repent and ask the Holy Spirit to never ever let your voices be in my ears more than His. THAT I cannot let happen, but as long I know not to let any man trump the voice of my God, I am there. Wisdom flows from both of you.
The Basement interviews have been "OMG, like what have I been doing with my walk with God." The practicality and Frank way Tim breaks down the scriptures is Wonderful. I find myself saying a lot, "I never thought of it like that, or I need to up my Word game!" The basement has made me more self aware and intentional about following God. The episode where they talked obedience and them walking out that obedience in stepping down as lead pastors. BRO!!!! To God be the Glory
In EVERY AREA IF MY LIFE 😮😢😂 & also EVERYBODY ELSE I KNOW!! 😅 THIS PLATFORM IS THE F-I-R-S-T PLATFORM THAT IS RELATABLE IN EVERY AREA OF A CHRISTIAN LIFESTYLE!! THANK YOU ALL WHO MAKES THIS ENGINE RUN. THIS IS A GOD GIVEN MOMENT IN HISTORY THAT I'M GRATEFUL & HUMBLE TO WITNESS & BE A PART OF. THANK YOU!!!
Newly subscribed and I love your content, the relationship you have with your wife and kids as well as your crew, they are awesome!! Keep doing your thing because you are blessing us with your God-given gift! You communicate eloquently and biblical sound with no filter and not for itching ears, speaking Truth! Also joined TOME! God bless you all!
The basement has changed my life by opening my mind to different perspectives of others thinking, lifestyles, and bible teaching. I’ve also looked up so many words listening 👂🏾
I listened all the way thru and shared a conversation with my mom on masturbation an spilling your seed. This my first comment. Love the podcast. ESPECIALLY LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO, many gems. Raising children,Cologne, the one, masturbation is it a sin to spill the seed or Nah, giving your life to Christ BECAUSE the enemy is a LIAR. Optics matter, addiction and God's Love never EVER failing. THANK YOU ❤️🙏🏾 mamma Ross
Words just cannot describe how much this has truly impacted my life. From here to Tome I’ve just been blessed to hear the Holy Spirit being so alive through these means of communication! I posted before I don’t know how nor why God dropped this in my life but I thank you for your obedience to the call!
Hey Pastor Tim! Just wanted to say thanks! You don’t know how much God is using this podcast to change minds, hearts and decades of “wrong conditioning” on Christianity! I pray that God will bless both you and the Basement Crew for your obedience! May God continue to enlarge you guys!…..that’s all I came to say on today! ✌️🙏
The last 15-20min of the video hit so deep. Man…Tim your obedience is made such an impact on me, your yes has allowed me to fully trust God and help me fight my porn addiction and identity issues. Thank you Lord and thank you Tim!
I never learned how to be an adult until I got sober and God began teaching me. I’m 39 years old and only now can I even understand what you’re saying here in reference to adulting.
I needed this I get so nervous allowing my children to go places 🥹 I was sexually abused by younger family members and some teenaged boys at my church I’ve been to therapy and it still hurts at times but through Christ I’ve forgiven them. And I’m working on being less anxious when they want to do things. With prayer ❤

Since the basement has started its really challenged my thinking and brought more nuance to scripture and real life
That part - YOU ARE NO LONGER OBLIGATED to do what your sinful nature wants to do. That's what freed me in 2019 from my addiction.
Oh thank you so much for touching on singles and what it's like.
“Context is King” is a great mantra in life.
Being curious is the gateway. Great words of wisdom that I needed to hear..Thank you!

Hi Tim I look forward to this pod each week stayed up late to break fast so here we go.
I love hearing truth and going back to listen to your message. Thank you
This podcast is really a life coaching service. Only watched two episodes so far, but have pages of notes to take away from this. Please keep doing what u doing. I needed this. So much fog is being cleared up spiritually. Blessed.
This was such a great episode and had me a little emotional at the end.. God is so real to me because I went out and tried Him. He spared me from death’s door..😢😢😢
I love how he parent them omg 😭♥️
I just love love love this podcast
"I can't tell you how many complaints masquerade as prayers" Whooo
When he said how complains are maskeraded as prayers I truly felt that.
I love the way you put our sinful nature and how we are no longer obligated because we have Jesus and the Holy Spirit in us. That hit me in my soul.
I love you and your love for the lord
I look forward too hearing what the Lord has to say thru Tim, he is a person of God who tells it like it is, he is not going to sugar coat anything. I pray that will continue to use Tim to speak his word, and that he will be blessed richly!!!❤
Just Lost for words. Thank you is all I can say
The basement has impacted me to honestly just be better and do better. I e learned Soo much from this podcast and have been able to live a more authentic life and learning how to not be scared of ambiguity. I have also been able to share this podcast with non-believers in Jesus, church hurt individuals and having them really enjoy this podcast and it become their favorite podcast! Thank you Tim for your obdedience. Everytime I listen to this podcast I thank God for this podcast and for your obedience and wish you the best!
Love you Pastor Tim! Thank you for your authenticity, wisdom, and transparency. Praying continued blessings over you and the family as you continue to serve, AND lead by example for the water walkers 🙏🏾
My husband is the Youth Pastor of a church in South Central LA. The similarities of experiences (even kids...lol we have a Kaleb and Knoah, though Kaleb was almost Nathan) & overarching view of the word of God is uncanny. Listening to the podcasts has provided affirmation, confirmation, growth, boldness, encouragement and so much more, to keep moving forward in ministry. Thank you for standing on the wall, crying aloud, being a watchmen along with your wife and children. You are needed, appreciated and we praise God for you all (the entire team).
This has absolutely blessed me and opened my eyes when it comes to me and my parents as an adult myself! Thank you so much!
Dang. This pod was NEEDING!
Im such a bobblehead as you answer these questions, great responses.
I needed this so much, thank you
the part on marriage with an unbeliever is what i really needed to hear. thanks!
What a beautiful way you parent you children. Continued blessings to you and you beautiful family ❤️🙌🏽
There was a question at the end asking if it was a sin to masturbate if you're not using porn and I have an answer for it.
1 Corinthians 10:31 says Therefore whether you eat or drink. OR WHATEVER YOU DO, do all to the glory of God.
I used to masturbate to stay celibate. I never used porn or other images. But my mind was tormented in order to achieve an orgasm with memories of past partners and other fantasies that were straight up demonic. There were few times the sensation alone was enough to relieve me. I would say to ask God if masturbating is bringing Him glory. Is it something you intentionally do for God? Is it holy? Is it righteous? How can God play a part in that part of your life? For me, the answer is crystal clear. It wasn't bringing God glory. It was a band aid for a desire that is really only supposed to be satisfies within covenant between two people.
I pray my insight was helpful❤
I LOVE THE BASEMENT!
Literally going through this now. It’s HARD
This whole conversation is just so profound!! All the way around!!💗💗💗💗god is so very real!!!💗💗💗
The basement has helped me a lot with my walk with the Lord. Thank you all for the work you do! I’m glad I found the basement!!!! Let’s goooooooooooooo! Much love y’all
I’m so thankful for finding you. Everything you say makes me hold myself accountable on everything in my life.
I'm so Blessed to be connected back with my Pastor Tim Ross. Such a great enthusiast for the Kingdom of God!! Do it you all in the basement! I love it!!
Thank you Tim for reminding me of how I was once bound to porn and forgot how Jesus beautifully freed me and I never looked back. This message as always was so impactful on just how Jesus freed me from porn and change my life for better. I needed this reminder on my journey on being freed from food and walking on the path that God has called for me.
See 👀 This is why I love the basement👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing MESSAGE!
i love yall and Jesus loves y’all wayyy more! MAY GOD BLESS Y’ALL FOREVER🙏🙏❤️!
"Your reaction to the attraction is problematic"
Know thine own self.
SUPER FACTS, FAAAM!
It's 2:26am here! I could not turn this off!!! Real talk! I'm glad I stumbled on to this channel!!!
Love how you parent, & encourage your children. Awesome 👌
That was beautiful how Time blessed his children before bed. Awesome. God bless you guys in the basement!
Thanks!
Thank you
Thanks for talking about the disrespect of time that occurs with single people in the church! Whew!!
Also, to the point of some patriarchal churches that say the single pastors would be tempted sexually… They tend to say that as though married people and married leaders in the church ain’t tempted sexually or actively engaging in illicit sexual activity with someone who is not their spouse. It is not about marital status; it’s about a heart posture! Thank you for saying it, Tim! Love you bro!
You and Preston at last. You have no idea how much I am dancing. That man's message and his ways captured my attention a beat before I knew about you and that was when he followed you preaching at Gateway last year. But even though I heard you first, his Oil of the Spirit messages spoke to me big time and I was hooked on those messages before I finally followed him to TH-cam and realized that man is ANOINTED. I have listened to allllll his stuff on his site back to 2013, and relistened to a ton of it and relistened blah blah blah. And somewhere in there I equally fell for the way you teach. But the two of you are FIYAH. Absolutely. So much so I sometimes repent and ask the Holy Spirit to never ever let your voices be in my ears more than His. THAT I cannot let happen, but as long I know not to let any man trump the voice of my God, I am there. Wisdom flows from both of you.
You guys amplified the volume and it sound So good👍. Keep the LIVE shows going , your on to something 🎉
The Basement interviews have been "OMG, like what have I been doing with my walk with God." The practicality and Frank way Tim breaks down the scriptures is Wonderful. I find myself saying a lot, "I never thought of it like that, or I need to up my Word game!"
The basement has made me more self aware and intentional about following God. The episode where they talked obedience and them walking out that obedience in stepping down as lead pastors. BRO!!!! To God be the Glory
This is the realest guy I’ve heard in a while!!! Love him❤️❤️❤️

Yol. 1:18:37 ---I freaking love you for this 😢😭💖
Thank You!!!! Food For The Soul!!! I Love Y’all!!! God Bless!!❤
The basement has changed my life by opening my mind to different perspectives of others thinking, lifestyles, and bible teaching. I’ve also looked up so many words listening 👂🏾
I listened all the way thru and shared a conversation with my mom on masturbation an spilling your seed. This my first comment. Love the podcast. ESPECIALLY LOVED THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO, many gems. Raising children,Cologne, the one, masturbation is it a sin to spill the seed or Nah, giving your life to Christ BECAUSE the enemy is a LIAR. Optics matter, addiction and God's Love never EVER failing. THANK YOU ❤️🙏🏾 mamma Ross
When Tim cried about God doing the impossible in his life 🥺😢😭
Wow. The end of this episode had me weeping. God is so good!!!
You are changing lives>[..Thank you!
Words just cannot describe how much this has truly impacted my life. From here to Tome I’ve just been blessed to hear the Holy Spirit being so alive through these means of communication! I posted before I don’t know how nor why God dropped this in my life but I thank you for your obedience to the call!
Hey Pastor Tim! Just wanted to say thanks! You don’t know how much God is using this podcast to change minds, hearts and decades of “wrong conditioning” on Christianity! I pray that God will bless both you and the Basement Crew for your obedience! May God continue to enlarge you guys!…..that’s all I came to say on today! ✌️🙏
Thank you for your transparency ❤🥺
Love Ya Good sir and all that you’re allowing God to do through you! This one hits home! 🤟🏾🤞🏾 He’s working
The last 15-20min of the video hit so deep. Man…Tim your obedience is made such an impact on me, your yes has allowed me to fully trust God and help me fight my porn addiction and identity issues. Thank you Lord and thank you Tim!
233K when I first watched this episode. Love It!
I never learned how to be an adult until I got sober and God began teaching me. I’m 39 years old and only now can I even understand what you’re saying here in reference to adulting.
Ever since I started watching you I have a different look at my marriage you speak truth
Context is king 👑
Shout out to Julie! You're doing a fabulous job. We thank you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I needed this I get so nervous allowing my children to go places 🥹 I was sexually abused by younger family members and some teenaged boys at my church I’ve been to therapy and it still hurts at times but through Christ I’ve forgiven them. And I’m working on being less anxious when they want to do things. With prayer ❤
