[@andreaclarke3560]

DEE-1 I salute you brother...This was so interesting...Good podcast Tim

[@cheriej211]

I’ve been waiting on this one. 🎉🎉🎉

[@susieqshields]

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.💜

[@K2dakay]

I just started following Dee1 like a week ago. Stumbled across him on the Ruslan podcast and was like…this dude is SO wise…who is this guy? Went down the rabbit hole and got hooked… now he’s here on another favorite pod of mine and y’all have just met??? 🤯 This is so amazing 🥹🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@karenbrown4531]

I totally agree, I am 63 yo and my husband passed after being together for 40 years. The Lord has me longing and seeking authenticity, turning from the ‘playbook’ and looking for those with the ‘blueprint’ (see the Pastor Tim’s interview with Pastor Dharius)

[@clariondenisha8457]

Sorry to hear that!!!!! I could only imagine!

[@THEUNORTHODOX1NE]

[@tykishaagee5542]

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

[@yamilee1354]

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

[@KayBeOnline]

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

[@MLynn33]

Omg!! SO MUCH RESPECT for Dee-1 from DAY 1!! Had the privilege of meeting him a few years ago in Detroit! - he’s truly genuine and authentic. Definitely a real one 💯 ..a beautiful soul😌. So excited to see him on the show!- LOVED this episode! 🙌🏽🔥

[@7launique]

❤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!!!!!

[@rachelball3045]

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…

[@Derrick619.]

It’s Safer down here! Thanks for watching - We You!

[@tiffmat9475]

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.

[@ameliajohnson4454]

❤

[@leahhackworth4373]

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.

[@toyawalker86]

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

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

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.

[@abigailhazle2539]

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.

[@keithcrumedy5556]

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! ❤

[@JustUdoro]

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

[@elleemme3495]

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!

[@treidizzle]

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 🙏🏽

[@enhanceyourprettyllc]

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…🙏🏾🫶🏾

[@trea_h]

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!

[@calvinwilliams7449]

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

[@1BATYAH]

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

[@PoisePrayPurpose]

Yes

[@kaciesims5945]

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! ❤

[@A.R-ol5vm]

The real lotery in his lifetime is love. Love shown, love displayed, love gave, love received, God’s love and the love of God🙏🏾

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.

[@andriadiggs2185]

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.

[@mikel1173]

The more I listen to Dee-1 & how focused he is on his assignment, the more I love/ respect this brudda!

[@AllAboutYve]

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!❤🙏🏾.

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! 😊🎉

[@Deionfits]

Ayy this podcast is the real deal,I’m not good at being vulnerable, but being a refugee from Africa who came to the states when I was 12 and being a saved Christian my friend circle is very small close to one or none, and I was authentic but didn’t know how to be relatable. Thanks for this podcast, I really never knew how the Black Culture can influence you very much especially in the teens and young adults just wow. What Dee1 and Pastor Tim was saying man, about being authentic but not making it your idolatry, it’s very relatable, you gotta bring Dee-1 again

[@rossanaglasgow2561]

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

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

[@Jorrrr]

I code switched for 10 years in ministry that was very legalistic. I learned how we were to greet newcomers, what words you’re supposed to use during announcements. I learned what appropriate worship looked like and how much more I was supposed to make eye contact with people or smile. I learned how to become the happy bubbly “leader” I was taught to be and how to greet someone with a smile while hiding the trauma I was living through with my family when I left church each night after serving. Code switching took so much from me because now that I have been through counseling, found a healthy church, and am wading through years of who I am and what all I’ve been through, there is a grief that comes with not being authentic to myself. I’m so grateful for this podcast. The holy spirit continually uses each episode for so many exactly where they are. We are so grateful for your authenticity and vulnerability, Tim!

[@Foodphillic]

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.

[@welewe9265]

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 😂😂😂

[@nudayRebel]

This was so good just thinking about my own life and code switching for work and certain environments and learning to be my authentic self while not compromising and showing the character of jesus in my steps, i notice that the people around me are influenced by the way i carry myself since i have gotten the confidence to walk in who God has called me to be. I had a lady recently at work ask me what is that on me, she said it feels like calm and peace whenever im around. It didnt hit me until this basement conversation that since i have just been being myself and not compromising they are watching silently and being influenced by what they see and it makes them want more.

[@dymondbooth4267]

I literally had to pull over to type this. . . .im currently a psych intern in my last year of my program. . . .2 days ago I was reflecting on a comment my supervisor made 2 weeks prior about how she noticed that Im "different" with my clients (majority Black and Hispanic) than I am with her and the rest of the staff (majority white) and that she wanted to see me be the same I am with my clients as with her. At the time when she told me this I didn't quite get what she was trying to say. . . . it finally hit me that she was referencing my code switching, which I had never been very conscious of. I didn't know how to feel about it but something in my heart felt uneasy. . . Just now, I clicked on this pod to listen to as I drove and the moment y'all started to talk about code switching, my eyes just swelled up with tears. It dawned on me how suppressed "me - me" the natural, not white-washed me actually is. . . .I say all this to say Thank You Tim Ross and Dee-1 for having this conversation. Thank you for taking this to that topic. Everything you each said was not just awakening for me, it was healing. It was validation that I didn't realize I needed. ❤

[@dalecomella2385]

Thank you for this beautiful conversation. I wish we could be best friends. Somehow, Dee entered into my youtube algorithm back in june and I've been consuming as much of his content as possible in 2x speed ever since. I'm from Buffalo, NY but i grew up with an invisible unexplainable heart level connection to New Orleans. Always researching it, doing projects on Louisiana culture in school, looking for any movie (I watched candyman a hundred times as a kid) or book that was about nola (which wasn't as easy in the late 1900s). I finally got to move near Baton Rouge from 2013 - 2018, but ended up back in my hometown as a result of my home flooding in 2016. but anyway... Once I heard that accent, I knew I was home again. I am soooo grateful to be in a generation where David Arnold Augustine Jr. is considering running for President in 2032. Do it Dee! We love you and need you!!
