The Basement with Tim Ross

What does it take to rebuild a marriage after infidelity? Carl and Laura sit down with Tim Ross to talk about the betrayal, the public fallout, and the years of work since. When infidelity upended their marriage and very public ministry, the people they had done life with scattered. In this honest conversation, Carl and Laura open up about why they wrote Overcoming Infidelity, what Laura needed to heal, what Carl had to face, and why they say not every marriage should be saved.

Kyle Thompson, host of Undaunted Life and co-creator of The Daily Blade devotional, sits down with Tim in The Basement for a raw conversation on what it actually means to be a Godly man in a culture that doesn't know what to do with one. They dig into the tension between strength and softness, why so many men default to being all lion or all lamb, what The Chosen got right about the woman who touched Jesus' garment, and why the church needs to learn how to "hold tension" instead of avoiding it. Kyle also opens up about training men physically and spiritually through his coaching program Dominion, what he's learned raising his sons to be undaunted, and why meekness, not aggression, is the real mark of a man who's dangerous and disciplined at the same time. This one will challenge you, convict you, and probably make you want to go do a wall sit.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you feel led, please use the link below to support us financially as we continue the mission of normalizing vulnerability and upsetting the world.
