Episode Description

Tim Ross was an unsaved pastor's kid on the southside of Los Angeles when God arrested him before the streets could. Today he's a professional podcaster, social media influencer, author, preacher and businessman. His podcast, The Basement, has been seen and heard by millions around the world.

This is Tim's story. A powerful, honest and transparent walk through one man's journey from southside to the largest platforms in the world. What does God do in a man's life that takes him from level to new level? How do we deal with the real pressures of loss and temptation and pain and the sense that God has something greater for you? Why did Tim leave a mega-church pulpit to risk the struggle of a daily podcast? All that and more on Brave Men today.

Brave Men is hosted by Paul Louis Cole, president of Christian Men's Network. Brave Men is a production of CMN, which is based in Texas and operating on the ground in over 100 nations. For tools to disciple men and families go to https://CMN.men
