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.

When you downplay your calling, you give yourself an excuse to require less of yourself. What a powerful statement. 🙌🏾

Hector and Sam laughing in the background has become iconic, you cant miss it

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 ❤

This is what we NEEDED. Vulnerable people walking in who God called them to be. I’m so thankful for this podcast

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 🤎

“If I tell you the truth, will you still be with me!” That right there spoke volumes. Thank you Lord!

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🚶‍♀🚶‍♀

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

“ if you can’t own up to it, I can’t deal with you “ AMEN, I felt that and I receive it, I will live by this!!!

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.

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!!!❤🎉😊

This was one of the rawest, most funny, most insightful, uplifting, and most impactful episodes. Man! I thank God for y'all, God bless.

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.🤙🤙🤙

“The highest form of Art IS NOT THE appreciation from others , it is the last thing of your soul. “…… amazing, another great episode !

"When you downplay your call, you give yourself an excuse to require less of yourself." THIS hit so hard...

The more Charles speaks, the more I see so much of my self in his wife. Abby is such a gem. Bless her soul ❤.

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.

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. 🫂

“When you downplay your call, you give yourself an excuse to require less of yourself” 🤯😱 I had to selah on that

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 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!!! ❤

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.

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 🙌 ☺.

That’s so good. “When you downplay your calling, you give yourself an excuse to demand less of yourself”

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❤

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.

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! ❤

Omg Charles is my best preacher of all times!!! I'm so pumped for this to drop!!! 💃💃

God has been stretching my mind and growing my Spirit with this awesome broadcast. Praise GOD

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 🤎

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.

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.

One of the big takeaways from this as a single Christian man is the power of having a God ordained spouse…….I want that Lord

Excited for this one. The way Tim and Charles deliver the word!!!! Exceptional.

This might be one of my favorite episodes. Thank you for your authenticity and your yes!

Yay pastor Charles and Tim for 2 hours!! So excited!! ❤

this podcast has been one of the greatest blessings I’ve ever experienced. No cap.

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. 🫶

Ive loved and looked up to Charles for a while now, but I have a whole new level of respect for him after showing this level of vulnerability…❤️ so much love to you both.

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 🤲🏽

So thankful for this podcast! I am THANKFUL and GRATEFUL for the authenticity of all of you! ✊🏻

It’s supernatural how much I relate to Pastor Charles. Thank you both for this🙌🏾

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.⚡️

So excited! Literally my favs! Abby + Charles ♥️

Excellent choice for a guest! I LOVE Charles Metcalf!!!! Such a courageous, transparent, and loving being

For each and every one of your podcasts, I want to say, thank you for your yes. ❤

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

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

Awesome pod. You gentlemen were on Holy ground today and brought all the dwellers with you. Tim and Pastor Charles authenticity together is memorizing. Can't stop watching/ listening❣️

This touched my heart in such a deep way... Learning to take deep breaths ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for this

I enjoyed this so much, vulnerability is so healing. I also enjoyed P. Charles speaking about his wife, just beautiful.

I’m really thankful for what you guys are doing you’ve made me sit down and realize the things that are stopping me from having a closer relationship with God don’t ever stop we need you 🙏🏻❤️

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 ❤

I need this more than anything. I thank you Tim Ross. Thank you Charles. Most of all thank You God!!!!!❤

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.

Omgggg! Yes, we love Pastor Charles!!!

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

Been crying since the first 10min of this. Y’all dropping some gems thru y’all’s vulnerability

Charles is one of the reasons I got back into church. I love listening to him. I listen to clips of this podcast. This is my first full episode and I will continue on and go back on some. Thank you for this. And I will have to say thank you Charles for bringing me back.

You have no ideaaaa how this episode blessed me from beginning to end and how absolutely everything resonated. Thank you for being real and genuine, and funny lol

Omg I love everything about your podcast. Thankyou for modeling authenticity. You've brought so many answers to questions I've been asking the past few months. There's so much wisdom in your insights. Thankyou🙏

Listening to this all the way in Malawi, Africa. And man I'm blessed, each time. On every level. Thank Jesus

I am very appreciative of this podcast episode and the opportunity to get to know Pastor Charles better

I already commented but God has been changing so much in my heart as I’m listening to all this vulnerability!!❤ I love you both and my life has been changed by the power of God and the seed that’s being planted right now. Thank you Jesus

Tim. Thank you. I can’t tell you what it means to have a man with God at the forefront of his heart guiding our generation with such wisdom and tenderness. For me specifically, it’s life changing. I’m here in Dallas if you are still mentoring or ever have an opening, I’d love nothing more than to have a leader like you. Thank you for your vulnerability. You’re walking me through so much in my spiritual journey already, you have no idea. Thanks for pouring out!!! ❤❤❤❤

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

Wow! What a testimony and true self reflection

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).

Was just saying how I needed a basement session. God heard me. 🙏🏾🗣

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 ❤️

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!

I think I had the same thing with struggles. Father is helping me with that !! Thank pastor Charles. I am always praying that God helps me changing. I stepped down in a lot of things.

Loving this podcast❤ from a Canadian fan🇨🇦 who follows TC weekly and The Basement . Glory to God.

WOOOOWWWW!! Literally mind blowing how amazing this episode was.. I see myself in Charles and Tim and just to hear their experiences, revelations, etc.. is so refreshing.. They aren’t playing church, this is representation of their relationship with Jesus!! Amazing!!

I was so excited to see Charles on the cast. Been watching his stuff for a while now. This podcast is on another level of positivity and education.

This was incredible! So many good words I want to re-watch this over & over just to catch all of the insights. I am struggling with a similar feeling as charles in my identity but I have been turning to God and resources like this. Hearing his story was something God knew I needed. Thank you for being vulnerable and real. I want to share a little story: I have been reading Genesis in my own Bible study time and my pastor just quoted that same Philippians 4 verse this past weekend. Also… psalms 51 is what I’m always referring back to… lol in short all of these verses have been so relevant to me lately the fact God referenced them all in one place through this pod is quite literally miraculous. Thank you for all the work you do and for allowing us to listen in on your conversation. There is so much truth & goodness here. Y’all stay blessed ❤

Our exposure determines our approach to the gospel and how we interpret it. This is powerful! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I finally caught the live ❤ I love this podcast and the work you are doing pastor Tim ❤️ much love to you & your beautiful wife Juliette

59:04 My God. I had to pause midway and comment. Thank you Tim for obeying God and bringing this podcast to us. You are truly helping me through my journey of seeing my vulnerability as my superpower.

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.

The honesty, transparency of these discussions helps me grow in my walk with Jesus 🙏🏼

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 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 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. 🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥

It amazes me how God speaks to me through your messages in the exact moments I need to hear it

Thank you both for your authenticity and transparency! It’s setting me free and having a ripple affect on those in my community and now outreach! God bless this whole production ❤

The background laughs always get me 🤣. I love it.

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❤️

This episode was SO GOOD!! *insert Pastor Charles voice* 😂 Seriously he dropped gems. I thank him for the gift of understanding the intersection of my empath ability and intercessor gifting!! When That heaviness falls now I know to ask God if what I am feeling is me or is this intercession for someone else…wow just pray!!

The most needed podcast of this century ❤️‍🔥🙏🏾🔥

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 😭

Pastor Charles is that guy! love y'all

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!❤️

God bless you Pastor Charles and your family!!!👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
