Summary

In this vulnerable convo, Jennie sits down with Tim Ross to talk about gray space, the not-so-neat middle where God still meets us. Tim shares his story of childhood trauma, porn addiction, and the night confession unlocked freedom for his whole family - and why healing took therapy, accountability, and time.

You’ll hear:
- Why confession breaks shame - and why secrecy keeps us stuck
- The difference between root issues and fruit behaviors (and how to spot yours)
- How to cultivate childlike faith again (Romans 8:1)
- Why Tim named his show The Basement (and why going lower is going “higher”)
