When we tell y’all we are SO PROUD OF DANTE!!! This man is Gods kid & we love him so much😭😭❤️❤️‍🩹

Can I just confess that I was hoping Dante would reveal a tiny nugget of juicy gossip, but he was super classy! Let me go pray! The pod was great. Thank you for always allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through Tim and all Basement guests.

Tim is a Pastor to his core! I love how he so effortlessly and graciously reaches and loves on his guest.

As the sister of a strong Christian who won his first Grammy early in his career as a secular artist, what Dante’s saying is so true. It can be traumatic for the artist (and even their family to experience & be targeted alongside) the person being attacked at every angle, including the church, as they’re still learning and navigating the industry. There’s almost no grace because music industry = Babylon to the church. So instead of being Mordecais to the Esthers called into that space, they slander them. Without trusted other strong Christians inside AND outside the industry surrounding them, helping them stay focused on truth despite it all, the calling can get overwhelming. He’s now 3 Grammys and 10+ years in, and the need for that level of community only becomes greater. He doesn’t take the community he has had for granted and he taps into us DAILY, MULTIPLE times a day!! So I’m truly very proud of Dante for the journey he’s chosen to go on 🙏🏾🙏🏾 don’t just pray for these artists who are Christian, but pray for their Christian villages to stand strong around them. We love you, Donte!

This 51 y/o man was jumping around like a child when I saw Dante Bowe was gonna be in the Basement!! Amazing gift this man is!! LET’S GOOOOO!!

I love how comfortable Dante is in Tim's home. Says a lot about what The Basement is meant for.

This the realest podcast. I’m over here confessing to my wife in TEARS. God is all over this pod

Thank you sooo much for this episode. I am so incredibly sorry for how judgmental I have been towards Dante and people in general. I am grateful that God is using this episode to re-sensitize me.

“I was working without communion”. Huge insight 🤯

I almost didn't watch this, but I had to catch my ignorant thoughts. Thank you for your transparency, your heart and vulnerability. Thank you basement crew! When we look at others, we should look at them the way Jesus does!

Decluttering of your soul released a stream from your soul! You don't have to answer to everybody's questions unless it has to be with your purpose! When people can't empathize they can't contextualize! Just mind blowing! Truly impacted! Wonderful podcast! Thank you ❤

I pray one day he writes a book about this season of his life. Because this is a necessary chapter of life. Decluttering.

I wish The Basement could offer small groups because this is the community I’ve BEEN searching for ❤ the authenticity, the realness and best of all, biblical text that prove the God’s truth. God bless this ministry and all the people involved to make this happen. Love you all! ❤

I must say, that it frustrates me so much when a child of God falls and instead of the people who claims to be Children of God themselves, shun, talk about, judge, and or distant themselves from the fallen. Where is the Godly love. Where is the " I'M here for you brother, let's talk about it when you're ready, let's pray, and I'm here and praying for you". Then you wonder why so many people stay away from the church. I'm so happy that Dante has done the work and is stepping out in his ministry of music. Thank you, Tim, for giving this space and sharing with and in Dante's love. God bless you both. Being a babe in Christ, this type of love and fellowship is exactly what I needed to see and hear.

Hi Ps Tim and Dante! Thank you for being vulnerable. was one of the people who judged Dante, not on public space but definitely thought about it.. was thinking if men of God who've had a long relationship with God struggle, what happens to me? i struggle with pride and judgement/criticism. I'm here to sincerely apologise on behalf of me and the church.. I'm so glad you're back.. I'm super stoked to see you being vulnerable and open.. praying for you! Praise Jesus for He is good ❤️

This was not a typical check off the list interview but a genuine conversation.

As a person having just turned 30 years old myself, watching this gave me so much more empathy. One reason I love the basement is because of the context I gain about individuals. Man this is good. And what’s crazy is my biggest prayer has been for a rebirth of you will. So good! And when you got to talking about a decluttered soul?! That did it for me. (Now I’m just thinking out loud). I’ve been over here trying to declutter my house thinking that’s what I needed, but what I need is a soul declutter. Wow

Dante, WOW, Thanks for TELLING IT in transparency. Blessing. I'm so with you-experiencing same. Prayers Out.

So good to hear Dante is in a good place. I started praying for him when he went through some bumps in the road. I kept saying to the Lord, "Lord bless him as he has been a blessing to me. Whatever is going on, touch him." So happy for what comes next. We love you, Dante. Praying for continued guidance from the Lord.

I think I smiled the whole podcast! Dante is brand new! his radiance and true happiness having an intimate relationship with Christ and experiencing his love is shining bright! Love it! So happy and proud for him!

I was praying for Dante when all that “stuff” came out and I am so glad he is REBORN( in his words). This is all part of growing in grace, learning and leaning into Jesus! Thank you Dante for not stopping 🤲🤲💕

I’m so glad that God led me to watch this episode now because it has given deeper context to the transformative season I am in currently. What a gift.

I would listen to this song every day but a night before one of the scariest exam papers, I listened to this song and the words " late in the midnight hour God's gonna turn it around, it's gonna work in your favor" sounded like I heard them for the first time. At that moment I knew God got me in that exam the next day. And now I'll be graduating 🥺✨

I loved this episode. Thank you for having Dante on and letting him share his heart and life. My greatest sadness is seeing a lack of grace in the church when we can all make mistakes. I'm so happy to see Dante living in peace and joy.

I have been praying for this man to come to the basement and here he is ! I felt his love for his father in his music and to listen to his rawness and his journey thus far coming from him was awesome 👏 thank you 🙏

"a decluttered soul can release a stream" --such an impactful interview, and a reminder of what/who is really important in this life AND why we should love/forgive/have grace for others and ourselves.

This one blessed me. 1. Youth and fame. What was I like at 22? A mess! I can't imagine having that kind of fame and then he talked about the anxiety he was under. It makes my heart happy to see him doing well!🎉 I've always enjoyed his voice, but hearing him talk about his "re-birth"... that made me emotional. 2. Experience. Sonetimes we go through things. Hard things, things that we regret. AND God is good! He doesn't leave us alone with our regrets... He uses them. He uses all things. But if we want to be changed, we need to pray. 3. Prayer. It changes me. As I talk to Jesus more regularly it helps me to weed through the noise... to process emotions, to find the truth in what I've done and what others have done to me. Giving me the desire to walk like Jesus. He doesn't promise me the path will be easy. Each day I have the choice whether I'm going to walk in obedience or follow what the world says. Thanks for this conversation!❤

So happy that I watched. Never even heard of The Basement before, my granddaughter knowing how much I love Dante, made sure that I was cued up a few minutes before it started. I am so proud of everything he is doing!

The intro is everything! DANTE, it’s so amazing to see you brother. I’ve been praying for you. It is a blessing to see you doing well

When people can't sympathize, they can't contextualize. Thats a word!

Every time i hear a Dante song I pray for him because I truly hope he comes back to the knowledge of the true Christ because he is extremely gifted… The podcast started off surprisingly well I loved when he spoke about his conversion to Christ at 16, that was so beautiful… but I got confused afterwards… he mentioned he did not have any outside influence from the church when he got saved it was just him and God… so how did he become “religious” or “legalistic” as he put it? It’s interesting that when he got saved he cut out everything and became “too religious” maybe just maybe that’s what happens when you meet with the true and living God… I also got saved at 16 years old and I was on fire, there were places I used to go that I didn’t go anymore, things I used to do that I no longer did, did I become judgemental of those who still did those things? No? But there was clearly a difference between us now. When you come into the light and others remain in darkness, they may feel “judged” because too much light can blind them, sometimes light is offensive to those who love darkness (John 3:19) But overtime my fire became lukewarm, not because Jesus didn’t save me but because I chose not to do the things I did at first (Revelation 2:5) I got “fame” and “success” and got caught up in that lifestyle. Christian’s also used to “judge me” and it hurt my feelings it did, but deep down in my heart I knew they were judging me according to the Bible and what they was saying was TRUE even though my flesh wanted to get angry because I wanted to live how I wanted to live and not be judged for it. It’s only recently that I have woken up from my slumber and given my heart BACK to Jesus, I now have a desire to please Him and NOT the world, I take heed to what my Christian brothers, sisters and leaders tell me now (even if they say it in a mean spirited way) I take the meat and I spit out the bones, because people who LOVE me, tell me the truth, people who hate me let me go on believing lies. 23:18 It’s interesting that Dante Bowe said that he starting praying again but NOT reading the bible, friends, that is DANGEROUS. God is His Word and His Word is God. When you don’t read your Bible along with prayer, you open yourself up to seducing spirits that tell you everything your sinful flesh wants to hear. Jesus didn’t say be cool like him, He said be Holy as I am Holy (1 Peter 1:16). He said if you love me keep my commandments (John 14:15) We show we love Jesus by our actions not by our words. He said love not the world, nor the things of this world (1 John 2:15) I’m not surprised Dante got traumatised by the gospel industry because the gospel industry as we know it today is completely demonic, it’s all about money, fame and notoriety, it’s so anti-Christ it’s sad!!! The music industry is a slippery slope, not many people make it out alive, I’m sure Dante started off with a pure heart wanting to use his gifts for God but he needed to be extra careful!!!!!! “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13 Praying for Dante because Jesus still loves him!! 🙏🏾🤍

I loved listening to this conversation. I also didn't realize that Dante was so young, but it is so refreshing to hear how God has helped him move forward. I need to check out his new music.

This pod was so good!!! It woke me up to how I need to deal with people. I am in a transition in my life and dealing with family and friends has been so difficult for me to deal with and I just want to just disappear from around all of them. But listening to this and giving scripture helped me so much. Love the Basement ❤️❤️

Tim Ross, you're a great blessing to many. I love you for being authentic and bold as you give us the truth. Dante, you're blessed and God loves you greatly. He has you under his wings. I love you and I'm happy you're fully back. Your music has seen me grow. Tim and Dante, you're great guys.

Mannnnnn listen....every episode blesses me and my life soooo much! Thank you Tio Tim ❤ Let's continue to pray for Dante and that God continues to bring him close

I absolutely love this podcast!!! I learn a lesson EVERY SINGLE TIME!! Thank you for continuing and not worrying about those who don’t agree. I appreciate you, your family and mentees!!

I really love how little Dante knew about Tim and how bold he was to ask Tim questions about his life while being a guest on his podcast. It's so cool

To not know much about this man, besides what I’ve seen as a receiver of his gift with other musicians…this was definitely one that will have a special place in my mind and heart. To experience the joy of what God has gifted you…is a beautiful thing. 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾

I so appreciate Dante speaking his truth. It really blessed me! I pray continued blessing on your life and your music.

Yeeeeeeeesssssss Thank you for having Dante on the podcast. Best safe space to be in. Blessings.

this was such an incredible episode. The transparency, and vulnerability was truly life changing. Thank you Tim for stewarding this conversation so well, and team for producing such incredible content.

This is BEAUTIFUL! As a PK I’ve always felt a pressure to be “good” and it go worse the more I got involved IN CHURCH! Singing on the worship team was fun until it wasn’t! I’ve always wanted to be a Soul artist but ppl would say I turned away from God! But the truth is I FOUND GOD and now I’m able to be FREE to be ME not what the church wanted me to be

Dante I just want you to know I am so glad that you are back doing music. Your music has ministered to me on so many occasions. I prayed for you during your sabbatical. Good to see u doing music. Blessings to you

So happy he is here , i talk about him to everyone I’ve been praying for him and specially for the anointing of God. Thank you God for leading him to Him . Devil and world you loose .God’s Grace prevail always

Thanks for interviewing Dante Bowe...I heard the various sounds on the internet but I also heard him by the Spirit and knew that God called him and anointed him not for himself but by God's choice. God also knew who He called and the work that He designed him for. I praise God that He continues the work He started in Dante.

This made me soooo proud!! I love the basement and Tim Ross for this! Dante deserves his flowers for his authenticity and vulnerability to do this!! To God be the glory for the reset 🙌🏽 Thank you for this episode, definitely been a dante fan since the eddie james days!!

Wow this podcast blessed my soul so much. Im literally tearing up listening to Dante and his transparency. I love Dante and always have. Tim Ross you just dont know how much The Basement has blessed and changed my life. I love you Tim Ross and the basement. Thankyou for your faithfulness and obedience to the lord 🙌🏽🥰. Dante I love you!😊 Welcome to the BiG D, I pray I run into you one day 🤗

I’m just so glad excited that He’s making a comeback, rediscovering the joy of his salvation 💃 Plus I love his music. I’m grateful to God on your behalf. Thank you for being classy

I have no words to describe how grateful I am for this conversation. Thank you 😭💜💜

This right here will heal the deeper pits of your soul. Honesty, transparency, vulnerability you name it. Thank You Jesus. Wisdom Galore ❤❤❤ All the best Dante

THIS WAS SOOOOOO GOOD. Thank you both for helping us in the church become free and authentic!!!

I’ve been a fan of Dante since 2019 and I’ll always been cheering him on ! Life is all about growing, and that’s what he’s doing . Living life in the spot light is hard . Keep gojng, keep being who God has created you to be and He’ll meet you there!!! Your amazing

Thank you Jesus!! Its so nice to see you Dante!!! I will be in tears interceding in prayer whenever I hear the old worship songs and clips. So grateful to see the rebirth the Lord has and is doing within you! Always loved the sweet presence of the Lord, that is present when you are leading worship and praise even from the recorded videos! You are such an inspiration and encouragement. I thank the Lord for you! Looking forward to the new AlbumSS!! God bless you abundantly! Thank you Tim for you genuine and fatherlike facilitation of the conversation on what needs to be heard and what is edifying! God bless you with more wisdom and favour than you already have! Love you brothers! :3

Love Pastor Tim for having this young man on this pod. Not surprised and grateful for growth and grace in Jesus. ❤ Y'all.

Bless you Dante Bowe, continue to grow and develop in Him knowing that He never leaves you nor forsakes you and that He called you to Himself and has a vested interest in your life!

i saw Dante and clicked on this so fast, lets keep loving each other, praying for each other and always hugging each other, especially the people God has called to be a blessing to the kingdom, we are so happy you have found God in a better way, this is beautiful to see, this is the kingdom come as it should be

This 1:46 minutes has been good (beneficial) LOVELY!!! Dante, you're a good man. Thanks for going thru the fire and coming out out praising The Lord. ❤️🕊

Just finishing this pod and I love the environment / atmosphere the basement gives. Dante is relaxed with his feet on the sofa. That's that the unfastening of sandals on Holy ground! To God be the Glory...

I’m knew to watching this and I have to say I can’t stop watching. God is all up in this and it’s helping me tremendously with my spiritual life. I thank God for using you to enlighten the spiritual beings and doing away with the religious aspect of it. “He that cometh to me will never thirst” I’m always quenched when I leave one of your classes🛐✝️🙏🏿❤️🌻💐🙌

Dante has dealt with a lot! so far its been the grace for God, for real. love from Nairobi, Kenya

We can be talented but when we lack character it can ruin things. When I was a little girl I remember opening up for my favorite Gospel Artist and after the program they brought me to meet her and she was rude and nasty it completely turned me off and changed me negatively. Praise God I got a chance to meet her many years later and she was completely different and I brought up our first meeting and she shared some things with me that caused me to see the human side of her and I give her and anyone else grace. But we as leaders must be mindful of what we do. I pray you young man will continue to grow and inspire.

This conversation was just so beautiful and necessary. God bless y'all 😩

Such a meaty pod! This was amazing!!!!!!!!!! The basement truly is for e everyone! Thanks Dante for your gift of vulnerability! Tim I was in prayer like 30 mins before I watched this CONFIRMATIONS out the gate!

Im am just half way through this podcast and I’m over here alone in my house pointing to my phone saying out loud “THEY ARE SPEAKING FACTSS RN” ugh these convos are so vital absolutely necessary love this so much

I am at a stepping "out in the water" point in my life again and God helped me find this podcast today! Thank you both!! ❤

This podcast was so refreshing to listen to. I’m 25 and I don’t have it all together either, but God is always refining. God bless you, Dante. Keep going and keep serving!

This podcast has changed my whole life! Thank you for bringing God into real life and leaving the religion where it needs to stay. I appreciate the vulnerability and humility from everyone that shares their journey and experiences with us. Thank you for listening to God and obeying his walk for your life.

Thank you for this, I was one who unknowingly was sitting in judgement on this young man . I have nothing but grace and love for him as if he is my own son. May God continue to work with him and guide him and may he be obedient to the steps that are ordered before him❤

about 40-45 mins into the pod, I realized my cheeks were hurting. I've had a smile plastered on my face for 40 mins straight. The joy of the Lord is so evident in Dante and this episode and I am so happy to witness this in my generation. Thank you for your vulnerability, Dante, and thank you Tim for your obedience to God with this podcast.

Such a good Pod! Loved seeing Dante smiling from the Joy that's within.

What a beautiful and expansive conversation that I have found myself being convicted through every topic! I had to stop and speak to God for a minute and admit and submit to God in not reflecting his nature through burning bridges and judgement. This was an amazing conversation ❤ Thank you God, Holy Spirit, Tim Ross and Dante Bowe

Excellent job once again. I shared this with many young Christians.

This was very good to listen to. It ministered to be. I love Dante!!! God bless that anointing on his life.

This interview made my heart proud. I was so worried about Donte after all that mess went down but now I see it was all apart of God’s greater plan for his life! Can’t wait to hear the albums🙌🏾🖤

I pray for Dante’s continued growth and the protection and favor of God continuously be upon him, the basement staff and all of us who follow the path of Jesus. This was another good one FR!

This conversation blessed me. Looking forward to the music that God has given through Donte. Sweet and rich blessings on both ministries.

It felt real for me so I continued to watch/listen. I love Dante very much. Wish you both all the best

Truly amazing!❤ I think we all need a decluttered soul. Can you imagine… The rebirth would be earth changing. Thank you for another great episode.

This pod was certainly a blessing, inspiring & I felt God on this. I'm praying for all the persons involved here & those to come. Hallelujah 😇🙌🏾

This interview made me cry ❤❤❤ it was liberating and encouraging. I’m so happy for your growth Dante. Continue to allow Jesus to use you. Love ya brotha ♥️♥️

this was beautiful….freedom allows you to fly with confidence…keep striving to be “cool like Jesus” Dante❤….this podcast is up to something goooood

Tim, you confirmed to me that I need to stop feeling the need to discuss when I'm wronged, and just be a blessing to that person. From now on I will be still in that regard, unless the Lord tells me otherwise.

I needed this sooo bad. Thank you so much for this!!! I was meant to hear this.

Thank you Dante Bowe for sharing your story and being so honest. Let's keep in this same vein and bring on Jonathan McReynolds. Actually while we're at it let just check in with all our gospel music brothers and sisters; Dante's story shows that it's hard and lonely at the top. Let's invite them all to the basement!!❤❤

I love Dante...such a unique gift. This show freed me. I have been praying to stop being so judgey and critical...opinionated. God is judge cause he knows everything...seen and unseen. People act and do based from their capacity...I do not know their capacities and what influences affected them as a person. Ye who is without sin cast the first sin...God knows I have my share. Thanks Tim for being obedient...this podcast provides more wisdom than most organized religious groups...church locations do.

This was soooo BEAUTIFUL! I can’t wait to buy all three . He speaks so intellectually and SPIRITUALLY . Most of all I feel his joy .

Awww what an incredible conversation. You can tell this was therapeutic for him, God Bless you Dante! ❤

What a lovely episode! Showed as such a beautiful and vulnerable side of Dante loved it.

Thank you for your vulnerability Dante.......All i can say this was just a cry for help and as Christians we need to learn to listen.

A free soul can say so much than a bound one can! -Tim Ross this wasssss so freeing for me!

So glad I came across this interview. I had seen so much negative content regarding this young man and mostly from "Christians"... I pray that he stays in the presence of God and guards himself from the haters operating in the spirit of jealousy... His anointing will always attract it.... I pray he remains unbothered 😊... We fall down, but we gon get back up. TRUST! AMEN!

So proud of you Brother Dante! You are such an example of Christ! The best example we can be is just draw close to Him! Blessed to have you in The Body!

im so very proud of you and have prayed and lifted you up. i can't wait to get my ears on your new music

OMG!!!!!!!!!! Like!!!!!!! You guys are just .......I cannot wait for this pod, OMG!!!!!!!

I've been hearing about this podcast for months. Glad I watched. Felt like I went to church.

You have no idea how much this discussion HELPED me!!!!Thank you

Dante you are so loved! One of the best episodes yet! Everyone needs to declutter their life and let Jesus become EVERYTHING!

I love Tom Ross! I’m so happy my daughter introduced me to his podcast. He is so real🔥

You get so many compliments, so I don't want you to get the "big head" as we say in the south. But every since you spoke a word into the Worship Center in Birmingham, Al (Forget Alllll, that), I have been following you, and looking at your podcasts almost everyday. I want to repeat that you are so real, so genuine and authentic about the Word of God. This podcasts has become a daily part of my life. I am fulfilled spiritually as you present the Word in every podcasts. I thank God for your relationship with my pastor (Bishop Moody). I have been sharing your podcasts with everyone I know. Dante is a beautiful Soul. I love his music and pray that he grows even stronger in the Lord. Blessings to you, your family and your production team. Can't wait til you come back and visit.
