🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥God anointed this Man for such a time as then and this. My friend took me to a concert at the Wiltern Theatre, I was praising God all through the aisle. Fred Hammond will forever be a apart of my Family, Tim you know💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾his lyrics Save & Encouraged me🫂🫂🫂

[@jmichelle979]

Tim has really good active listening skills ! He’ll listen without interruption, interpret what you said, then ask questions to deepen his own (and our) understanding. I love it 👏🏽!

[@andreawinzer7892]

This was a beautiful interview! So many nuggets here: 1. Fred's mother sharing the gospel with him 2. Ray Hammond giving Fred his last name and Fred making it great 3. Fred being transparent about how these songs came to be 4. "I see a lot of Pauls, but no Jesus"

[@jackiearmstrong8231]

"where can i go to apologize to this dude?" - one of the realest and purest questions ever.

[@Rhiajanay]

I’m in tears listening to the way that Fred Hammond came to Jesus! I love his story telling!🫶🏾♥️

[@gena3663]

The way I bawled listening to Fred talk about his dad and how he gave him a family 😭😭😭 my God!

[@StanleyLamar]

I love how Fred explained how he wrote "Breathe Into Me Oh Lord." That is one of my favorite Fred Hammond songs.

[@charlenenurse1880]

This interview makes me want to cry........ not tears of sadness but of joy. I can listen to Fred Hammond all day and all night. He has such a voice for story telling and the stories he shares blesses me to my core even if I hear them over and over again. That story about his dad - Ray Hammond...... man.....he had no clue the impact Fred would have on the lives of millions of people all over the world. I am so glad that God in His omniscience placed Ray Hammond into Fred's life. I am grateful for God timing. I saw the tear running down Fred's check as he shared those intimate moments. I am grateful for his mom who loved him enough to share the gospel with him. I am grateful for how he endeavors to walk in humility before God and man. I can only ask -- how can we not serve a God who is so intimately acquainted with every need we have and has the most phenomenal ability to meet us right where we are and take us to exactly where He wants us to be. Indeed He is good!

[@heathercummings1026]

All you said exactly ❤

[@gretchenguichard1623]

I know what you mean!!! I'm right there with you..... I just love him and my dad's name was Freddie. He also loved music and loved singing. But yeah, Fred is amazing and I still listen to all his music CD's all the time and "I feel the Spirit of GOD" Move when I do. GOD Bless Him❤

[@The2ndGeorge]

Fred Hammond so cold singing! He is just talking and sliding in song so effortlessly!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@nikkismith5782]

Can we give Fred his flowers now?!! His music was with me through many life experiences and continues to minister to me 30 yrs later!🙌🏾

[@themassarofamily]

Fred Hammond & Cece will ALWAYS be my favorite gospel artists. His voice is so anointed even when he's not trying to sing for real. God truly blessed his path!

I Love everything about this interview. Shout out to Fred Hammond I was watching this with my son and I was like were u born when FH sang no weapon formed against me shall prosper, my son was like mom lol 😂 . My son was actually a toddler.

Whew, this conversation was just epic!! Thank you, Fred Hammond, for sharing your journeys, your transparency, and unexplainable gifts. Mr. Ross, superb interview sir!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ashleyelai5656]

Fred Hammond is one of my favorite Gospel Singers!! My Mom would play his music all the time when I was a little girl. This whole Podcast episode blessed me so much!! And his testimony is so powerful and his father was such a blessing to him!! It reminds me of my Momma! Ugh, so many gems were dropped. About struggling with certain sin and trusting the process to overcome! Like at 1:51:00 when he talks about the gap between Romans 7:24 and Philippians 4:13. What a revelation wow!! And the part about Casting your cares upon the Lord is confirmation for me!! Also side note, that is so awesome that he there when the Winians wrote “Trust in God” that’s another one of my favorite gospel songs! God Bless You Uncle Fred and Uncle Tim!! 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@halftimepromiseswithneibert]

Love Fred Hammond! The Lord used his music to get me through 9/11. Blessings.

[@dvmo5020]

Fred Hammond is my favorite gospel artist of ALL TIME!! This interview made me love him either more and made me realize why I connect with his music the way I have over the years. God bless you Uncle Fred and you too Bro Tim. 🙏🏽

[@natashaj4078]

1:20:31 Worked all through high school and part way through University at McDonald's... LOVED. EVERY. MINUTE of it... I still highly recommend it to young people.. it was a great training ground. 2:36:02 made me think about where God says that he desires TRUTH in the inward parts & in the hidden parts he'll give us wisdom ...as we back up and unpack our truths and fears and concerns he can reveal more of his wisdom to us about who He is, about who we are and His purpose & plans... We can be trusted because we have been truthful and transparent. Thank you Fred Hammond for your transparency and sharing!

[@PHealed]

Fred is the Man! His gift is legendary ❤. My favorite artist hands down.

[@Vuwanaka]

Was introduced to Fred in undergrad... before that had never heard of him (raised in an Nigerian household). I have loved this.... got an opportunity to hear him a few years ago and I love the storytelling in him. I loved the transparency and the conversation between these 2 men who have studied God's Word well and have endeavored to bring it clearer to the ppl

[@deilirangel7648]

❤ the interview has blessed me. The authenticity, the great sense of humor… I found myself praising in my car… clapping… saying “wait a minute, you gotta slow down for me…” 😅 So good.

So I hope this helps the questioner and others who need help... calling someone Uncle / Aunt is a cultural sign of respect. Age does not have to make "logical" sense. [we're acknowledging they're impartation]
