Welcome To The Basement
$29.99
If Jesus is the chief cornerstone of everything God is building in the world–what floor do you want to be on? In Welcome to the Basement, podcaster Tim Ross shows readers how they can achieve true greatness in the upside-down kingdom Jesus is building.
When Jesus came to earth, his first-shall-be-last teachings turned the world upside-down. So it’s no surprise that when some of the earliest Jesus-followers started spreading the Good News, they were accused by the powers-that-be of having “upset the world” (Acts 17:6). They were labeled disrupters and troublemakers because they were preaching a new king, a new kingdom, and a new way of life.
Christians today are still called to upset the world. In Welcome to the Basement, Tim Ross gives both a rallying cry and a practical guide for becoming great in God’s kingdom. In a conflict-ridden world that values celebrity, visibility, and self-promotion, Jesus invites you to join him in “the basement,” where ordinary acts of intentional love, service, empathy, and kindness have extraordinary power to welcome people into Jesus’ kingdom of peace, joy, and life to the fullest. Readers of Welcome to the Basement will:
*discover that they are God’s masterpiece, called to a great identity and a great mission;
*learn to receive God’s unstoppable love and grace that is always reaching out to the lost and hurting;
*experience for themselves the good that God has for them–because only people whose lives have been turned upside-down by God can become true world upsetters; and
*gain step-by-step guidance for identifying the people, places, and pieces that they’ve been called to disturb, disrupt, and shower with God’s love.
Sometimes the humblest acts of goodness have the greatest power. And sometimes the lowest floor of the building is where the real party is. Jesus is the cornerstone of a new kind of kingdom–will you step into the good things God is doing in the world?

Loving People Who Are Hard To Love
$28.00Add to cartHow do you love the people in your life who are hard to love?
We’re never going to be able to prevent people from saying or doing things that hurt our feelings. We will always have opportunities to get offended. But if we do things God’s way, we can choose to save ourselves a lot of misery and hardship. This doesn’t mean we allow people to abuse us. No, there is a time for confronting people and dealing with situations. However, the Bible commands us to love our enemies and forgive those who have wronged us, even when it feels impossible.
Everything the Lord asks us to do in the Bible is ultimately for our good. In fact, when we choose to love our enemies and forgive those who have hurt us, we are actually helping ourselves more than anyone else. Because whatever the Lord commands us to do, He is going to give us the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish it–and that includes loving and being good to difficult people! God’s love flowing through us is strong enough to melt even the hardest hearts, so use kindness as a weapon to overcome the meanness in people.
