The Basement with Tim Ross

Welcome back to The Basement. Tim kicks off a new solo series, reading through his book "The Missing Peace" chapter by chapter, director's-cut style, with the context, backstory, and off-the-page commentary you won't get from just reading it yourself.In this first episode, Tim reads his dedication and shares why he wrote this book, then dives into the Introduction ("Something Ain't Right") and Chapter 1 ("What Am I Missing"). He opens up about the difference between 2019 and 2020 in his own life, the loss of his assistant Kimmy, how he used gaming to numb his grief, and what it actually means to be "dysregulated." This one goes deep on peace vs. happiness, trauma, and what the Holy Spirit's role really is in nervous system regulation.If you haven't picked up the book yet, grab a copy and follow along for the next 19 weeks.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sow a seed.
