I'M A WOMAN AND THIS WAS FIREEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I recently committed my body BACK to God until marriage...THANK YOU FOR THE CONFIRMATION, on what God had already spoken to me. 🙏🙏
Celibate for 4 years, closer to God, love myself, confident not conceded, working on myself of spiritual growth ✨️. So I can meet a man on a higher vibration closer to God together.
May I suggest that you find yourself through yourself instead of trying to contort yourself into a pretzel to be what a man wants you to be? Viewing femininity through a masculine lens is a sure-fire way to keep yourself lost. Learning to love yourself is a solo journey. 💛
By far one of the best episodes - and can we just talk about how amazing it was to see four grown men HOLD HANDS to pray together?! 👏🏾🙌🏾 so proud of these 2 men SO much!
Ok bless your heart that’s what manhood is to be holding hand, praying together and holding each other up in Jesus name But this goes to show a lot of men getting women pregnant women having babies by these men and a man I’m not there to teach their sons not their daughters the way of life because they don’t know But I’m proud of these young men trying to get it together in Jesus name I always start off by saying there’s a lot of people that don’t believe in the Bible don’t believe in gods word don’t read the Bible and some just simply don’t believe in God, but if they have any type of belief read 1 Corinthians chapter 16:13-14. This is the Five Pillars of biblical manhood instructions to be on guard. Read it knowledge is power.
When Tim said, " I don't believe she would have been in your head like that if you would have not been in her body like that" I lost it I mean that cut me so deep.
This was goooood! My husband and I have been together almost 14 years, and I still get butterflies. Not because we have money, not because he wines & dined me, but because he gets me! We connect & compliment one another in so many ways. When we started he has just graduated and I was still in college, he was an intern and I was not employed. He was not like any guy I had talked to previously, but God showed me he was for me. I moved 3000 miles to be with him and he still was 400 miles away while we were dating. What God has joined together let no one tear apart!
Best comment ever! Always said this is needed! When men get in line with God! Especially my culture of men...it's more than a game changer. It's a SHIFT change order will be back in place as God wants it to be. I still have hope. We all belong to our Abba! Yet he doesn't force us, it's refreshing to see so many of us want too despite if we live in Babylon.
As a single woman I am so thankful to hear positive black men being authentic in their conversation. I sent this to my sons hoping this will open the doors of reflection for them. I appreciate the knowledge so I can be a better partner some day.
This was excellent. The wisdom and character development from seasoned men is so refreshing. Lecrae for his great transparency and sense of humor. And Tim for his teaching and honesty. I would love to have the sound bites and quotes from this episode! So much respect for their efforts to do the healing work and actively become a husband and life partner. Not just get married. “If you hoe all the way up to marriage, don't think your mind and body is going to respond to monogamy and exclusivity well. And be content.” What ball player doesn’t discipline, doesn’t train, doesn’t practice, and wins the play offs? Because what you're saying while gaining self-discipline is, I value my body, and I know how to be disciplined in my body no matter what stage we are in in marriage, and you can find safety in that. “The most extravagant gifts men can give woman is, the safety and protection of their bodies. Your body is safe with me.”
Now, as a disabled divorced dislocated man, where do I begin to pick up the pieces from the truma to establish some sort of balance that comes with the world's standards of being a man?
@ferdinandthomasjr9414 I'm a single mother of 2 daughters. However, I would start with turning the negative into a positive. Write a book. Share your testimony. It takes time but start a foundation. Sharing with others while you pick up the pieces gives your pain purpose. Like they said fulfillment is better than success. But in actuality, it is success. Once you start making your past pain work for you, you'll naturally gain the confidence to become the man God called you to be. Because 2. The world's standards of a man has changed and will change again. The foundation is in God. Who is the same yesterday today and forever. Hope this helps King!
@@ferdinandthomasjr9414 firstly cast all your cares concerning your situation on the Lord and ask Him to show you the way forward say " Holy Spirit go before me and where ever He leads you follow
Babbbbyyyy this was a "Purposeful" conversation. I listen to podcast daily, but this was by far a man spiritual leadership conversation. This was confirmation. After 17 year of being a lesbian, Christ changed me, and I vowed to God not to give my body away for sexual gain. Tim and Cre, this was absolutely the best hands down.
Deep talk. Loved this interview. To the married people here, fight for your marriage. To the single ones here, prepare yourself to be the best partner, the right one will come. ❤
What Lacrae said about weighing the costs and benefits in the relationship was key! Men dating today tend to only want the benefits without willing to embrace the costs of a relationship. Then they camouflage wanting it all just to take advantage of the "benefits". I hope that men become more vocal and truthful about what they truly want in these dating streets. 👏👏👏 good stuff!
Ok. I've subscribed. When Tim prayed that the ladies know they can be safe with a man who is connected to God...I couldn't shake it off, it's like he spoke hope to my cold, disappointed, hurt heart. I can't even explain it, but I receive it. God is out here doing a great work through his people and these platforms. Bless you Lord, thank you!
I’m so glad Tysean mentioned the book by Dr. Myles Munroe Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men It’s such a powerful book and I would encourage everyone to read it There is also one for women Understanding the Purpose and Power of Women
Female subscriber here! 🌸✨ I think this was my fav episode so far. I can see the evolution of manhood happening right before our eyes. Please bring them both back together again if possible! Thank you for allll the gems 💎💎💎
As a woman, this conversation is making me emotional, cuz I feel SO SEEN right now and I'm so thankful that these conversations are happening among the men❤❤❤
This was a blessing. I love hearing men, especially black men, conversing, affirming and edifying one another. Thank y'all for sharing. I pray God will bless me to be a blessing to my husband. God bless y'all and everyone who hears this.
I've only watched a few episodes, and I love seeing the growth Tysean is having. I pray he attracts someone that continues to help him grow and flourish. Great job fellas.
Great podcast and messages!My takeaways: -Acknowledgement of the double standard for women vs. men being sexually promiscuous. -Women will gladly “follow” and support a man who has shown himself as mentally and spiritually qualified to lead. -Don’t be afraid to fail during the journey of life and love. Just keep at it and do better. -For men and women … introspection and communication is key. Thank you
We gotta stop assuming women automatically follow men because he mentally & financially stable. Also, why would a woman even be with a man if she not going to follow his lead? An this is something you can ascertain during the talking phase. A woman who is with a man who can’t or not ready to lead isn’t a wife herself!
@@BjtheLawyer_ Hi there. Not sure what your point is. In case you misunderstood what I typed, re-read what my post said, i.e. …women will gladly “follow” and support a man who has shown himself to be……(wait for it)…….: “MENTALLY and SPIRITUALLY qualified” I said nothing about a man leading just because he’s financially set. Why? Because that’s shallow and I know many men/people who are financially well off, but their character sucks. In which case I could care less how much money you make, much less how attractive he may be.
@@caramelmosaicmosaic7940 if you don’t understand my point then you don’t comprehend the argument I’m making. We going to tailor this convo to just black people. In 2023, to assume a woman will just “gladly” follow because a man is stable mentally & physically is a half truth. And you’re placing the entire onus on the man. And I’m telling you most bw aren’t following bm regardless of the man’s position! If that was the case more than 27% of bw would be married lol. Stop thinking because the man is one way that the woman will automatically or gladly or whatever word you want to use will just fall in line because that’s false. The woman has to do the work herself & she has to be ready, able, and willing. But the work has to be done way before the man shows up. Because it’s a lot of women who had great men, but because they weren’t wives themselves, they fumbled the bag. That don’t get talked about enough! I hope you keeping up!
Never followed anyone but Inner Guidance....Anyone else I stepped with and made decisions with... Why let go of Source to be led? Are we mules? Or are we so desperate that we do not truly Know ThySelf?
This was an absolute treat to really sit and listen to. Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty. As women we sometimes think we know it all about men, but we really don’t. We just know our experiences with them and we tend to generalize. Thank you for giving us a seat at the table just to listen and understand. Much love to you guys ❤
God bless you guys i love the podcast and this episode is vital. I know this is supposed to be for men. But as a 44 year old unmarried black woman with old school morals. Im learning alot and episodes like these make me a better woman. Keep giving us more fantastic episodes.
This was GOOD! My current Kingdom Assignment is advocating for men and the restoration of men and families. I've been speaking against the gender wars because in reality men and women need each other. I pray that more conversations will surface like this among men and women. This was great content and I pray every Man sees this episode, but we as women also benefit. A lot of what was discussed aligned with content I'm ministering on. God Bless you and this podcast!
Gave me chills talking about working for Nissan as I have been with this company for 10 years. Been having my own mental ups and downs of feeling like less of a man due to certain accomplishments not being met. Truly listening and learning here fellas!
You guys just get better and BETTER!!! And u have the AUDACITY to have LECRAE himself on the show!! Much respect this way! I love these men! And so Godly proud of u guys’ growth! KEEP GOING! I’m here for ALL of it!
As a woman, I watched and enjoyed the whole video, but seeing y'all sign out as just four men WANTING to pray, I tore up a bit. Thanks for this convo; it was a blessing.
I am currently experiencing a divorce from my husband of 12 years after having our 1st son. He left our family to start another one, which I can feel this woman’s presence but I don’t even know what her face looks like. This was so incredibly insightful! I am grieving; however, learning as a woman of God marriage is a ministry. We need to be purposefully with everything we do/say and that begins with acknowledging and worshipping our Creator! Thank you gentlemen for doing this. It is truly a blessing!
As a 35 year old: The best thing I can tell my “internet soul sisters” is to focus on your fitness, nutrition, and femininity. I spent way too much time obese in my prime because i didn’t value fitness and missed out on the “highest concentration of options” in college. Its not too late but we MUST be intentional moving foward!!!
As a woman this blessed me tremendously!! Thank you all for your candor yet still presenting biblical truth in a manner that was straight practical!!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Y’all are out here doing God’s work 👏🏾 This is the best podcast I’ve come across hosted by men that discusses all aspects of relationships in a way that seems to be healthy, real, and relatable. No misogynistic undertones-bringing on a variety of guest whom are experienced and offer a wealth of knowledge and great perspectives. Kudos to you all! Great success to you!
I Love Love Love this episode! I'm a mom of three sons and I shared this with them. I pray they get something from this. They're 32, 25 and 22. This adds to how we've raised them to be. ❤ I'm a fan!
Take aways: 1. failures are findings 2. If you don't want them in your head then they aren't the one. 3. Abstaining from sex trains you for being successful in a marriage. 4. All purpose ain't paycheck
Exactly! 24:20 when it comes to your gift(s), it (they) will show up in EVERY THING that you do. A person’s gift as a communicator will have them showing up as a journalist, or a rapper, preaching, or a radio personality or teacher, et. Al. I noticed that long ago, you’ll never escape your gift when you live authentically. I pay close attention to the kids in my family and watch for the gifts to show up. As they grow older, I ask questions that encourage them and expose them to experiences that contribute to who they are in purpose.
Hardly Intimated Co-Hosts - The level of coaching and therapy you two are getting through this unique show is out of this world. Sometimes i feel like sitting in your chairs to listen up and close to all these amazing life coaches. It is the best thing in the world. Your show is amazing 👏
I thoroughly enjoyed this. There's so many podcasts and channels dedicated to bashing women, or praising bad behavior from men, that it's refreshing to see Tim & Lecrae be honest, open, and shed wisdom. Even when the host kept trying to trip them up with the fidelity piece, they stood toes down, and honored their spouse. It really takes these types of men to be in community with your man. I'm always feel like when you're in a marriage/relationship, your community is SO important. I wish there were more men in proximity like this. God bless you all, and your beautiful families.
This was an amazing episode. I would venture to say one of the best. I appreciate the honesty and transparency. Men and women need to create a safe place to be heard.
This episode was lit 🔥. These two were sharing so much wisdom and it was definitely one episode I won’t forget in a hurry. Thank you Tysean and Ryan. So much love for Pastor Tim Ross and Lecrae.
Telling your spouse (wife, husband) what you feel is good because you are giving them the opportunity to show you they care and their helper side. They signed up for better or worse. ❤
Wow I’m 30 minutes into this episode and I’m straight in tears…my God thank y’all so much for giving me a chance as a woman to better understand my man…I must admit that I have high regards for men/my man but at the same time I felt that I really don’t truly understand men the way that I feel I should, that will allow me to understand and connect with him on a deeper level…and to hear this from men themselves…this means so much to me ❤
This was another home run fellas. This particular episode gave me hope and Faith that there are still Godly men/ God fearing men/ Christ centered black men that exist even in 2023.
My first time watching and I’m on my lunch break at my desk not wanting to clock back in. I’ve already clicked on share and I’m only at 31:08. You KNOW GOD IS GOOD! Thank y’all for this message for men but us women also.
As a woman I received so much from this!! I am leaving with some tools to continue in my progression (A TC Nation citizen here) on my Kingdom journey. And as a Certified Lite Coach who has a calling to work with male athletes this was valuable perspective that I will share with them! Thank you Hardly Initiated for having this necessary conversation!
This was the BEST show I've seen from them. This is totally worth it. I walked away the better for watching this ENTIRE podcast today. Blessings to all you guys!
This is a phenomenal episode with Tim Ross and LeCrae. The biblical teachings were on point Men of God. Thank you for the wisdom, insight, and the powerful power prayer. This gives me hope!! I will continue to stay prayerful and keep the faith that my future Godly husband will find me in God’s timing. Thank you again Men of God!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😃😃
Our young men have a Rite of Passage ceremony when they turn 13. I’m lucky enough to watch them transition from my Sabbath school class into the next stage. They really mature and grow into the understanding they are now considered young men. They really start taking on the true understanding of responsibility and ownership.
I had stumbled onto HI middle of last year (2023) enjoyed listening to their guests. After few episodes watch I became a fan. Tysean & Ryan I'm so proud of your growth, maturity, non judgemental views, active listening skills, humor, and most importantly your hand picked panelists to discuss today's hot topic. If I can pick out THE BEST episode actually it's was hard to choose, but the episode that spoken to my soul was: Pastor Tim Ross & Lecrae on Duty of Men. The particular episode was the confirmation I heard in my spirit regarding the Duty of Men. Thank you so much! You men are chosen to heal broken men.
Absolutely love this conversation!!! I quit dating last year because it was a nightmare and I hated doing it. My father is the standard that NO MAN has ever been able to meet. Thank you for this conversation.
Thank you both for continually leveling up with these brilliant conversations, overflowing with jewels. You are truly doing revolutionary work. I am a young yet grown woman, committed to my path of personal growth & development, preparing myself for my future man. I feel like he's out there right now, listening to your show and nodding his head.❤🔥
This is so GOOD. like drink the collard green juice off the plate GOOD! So many good points. I really hope you guys have as many male followers as female. We all need this.
I’m loving listening to men actually communicate and learning. Sharing experiences. If I had a teenage son I would have him listen. This is so great. Very powerful to hear what a black man has going on and what I need to look out for and work on. Thank you.
Love watching valuable conversations like this. Glad there are a lot more platforms for Black Men to express themselves unapologetically and authentically.
I appreciate this conversation, Men. Thank you for underscoring how critical it is for Men to be properly initiated into Manhood. As a now single mom raising 4 young Men, I'm very clear that I can raise them, but not initiate them. Thank you for Men putting this out and standing on Manhood. We need you, and we appreciate you. And thank you for the wisdom for Women. Being equally yoked is critical...and it's more than equal paychecks. Blessings!
Dope pod gents! I really appreciate Lecrae’s presence here. Tim is dope, but he does come across as Mr. perfect even when discussing his marriage. I love the fact that Lecrae kept It real with us regarding romance, disappointment, having kids, etc. I think we need to hear about the speed bumps that come along in a relationship as much as we do the couple that’s perfect.
I am sending this to my 21 year old son,I really hope He is patient enough to watch the whole episode. This has been one of the best Yet!!! We need more of this Guys
A MAN is someone who recognizes his HEAD and LEADER, and he acts accordingly. He LOVES GOD and CHRIST more than anything, or anyone including himself. Anytime a MALE is on JESUS CHRIST team, he is now OFFICIALLY a MAN. If he's on JESUS team, he's going to LIVE and DO RIGHT. He also applies Matthew 7:12 which is to TREAT others the same way you want to be treated....in other words, DON'T do to others what you would NEVER want done to you. A MAN not only KNOWS this, he LIVES and APPLIES this in his EVERY DAY LIFE. It's really just that SIMPLE. I really value, appreciate and love Lacrae, and I wish him and his family nothing but the very, very BEST. This world need MORE people like him. Music that UPLIFTS, opposed to TEARING DOWN. AWESOME!!!🙏🥰😇🙏
To God be the Glory for these two brother's to be obedient and open to God working in their lives to provide such a Powerful Testimony to what God can AND will do with a Willing Heart to follow Him. 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽
Love me some Tim Ross! This Pod could go on for HOURS! Men need help and need this example of men having a convo about this topic all day every day! God is good.
👉DATING CARDS: hi.hardlyinitiated.com/datingcards
I am a woman, and I really enjoy these conversations between men and for men. It is so enriching and refreshing.
I'M A WOMAN AND THIS WAS FIREEEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I recently committed my body BACK to God until marriage...THANK YOU FOR THE CONFIRMATION, on what God had already spoken to me. 🙏🙏
This is real!!
Same here sis, strong confirmation 😭🙌🏽
Same here 🥹☝🏽 confirmation
Whew I Been hiding but God is working on me for my future husband
And I’m okay with that 🙏🏽
Celibate for 4 years, closer to God, love myself, confident not conceded, working on myself of spiritual growth ✨️.
So I can meet a man on a higher vibration closer to God together.

By far one of the best episodes - and can we just talk about how amazing it was to see four grown men HOLD HANDS to pray together?! 👏🏾🙌🏾 so proud of these 2 men SO much!
Ok bless your heart that’s what manhood is to be holding hand, praying together and holding each other up in Jesus name
But this goes to show a lot of men getting women pregnant women having babies by these men and a man I’m not there to teach their sons not their daughters the way of life because they don’t know
But I’m proud of these young men trying to get it together in Jesus name
I always start off by saying there’s a lot of people that don’t believe in the Bible don’t believe in gods word don’t read the Bible and some just simply don’t believe in God, but if they have any type of belief read 1 Corinthians chapter 16:13-14. This is the Five Pillars of biblical manhood instructions to be on guard. Read it knowledge is power.
I was going to say the same but now I see this…. I agree 200%
Black men at that 🤞🏾🙌🏾🥰🥰👑👑👑👑
I absolutely can’t wait to hold my future husbands hands and pray with him! I think isss powerful cuuute! 😜😍
When Tim said, " I don't believe she would have been in your head like that if you would have not been in her body like that" I lost it I mean that cut me so deep.
@@user-un6cx9qu3b yeah man we all screw up but what's important is to walk out of it with some lessons. Appreciate you taking the lessons.
That was heavy, and true.
Yes Sir!! That was deeply profound.
Hit my soul. Shout out to Tim!
It's Truth.😂
Yeah that’s the line that stuck with me too! 🫳🏼 🎤

Lecrae after 20yrs in prison I would think I was locked up with men but it was mostly boys in men bodies. Great conversation that's needed for MEN
As a single woman I am so thankful to hear positive black men being authentic in their conversation. I sent this to my sons hoping this will open the doors of reflection for them. I appreciate the knowledge so I can be a better partner some day.
me too it's a great thing
Sent it to my son too
I sent this to my son as well. Such a beautiful thing❤

This was excellent. The wisdom and character development from seasoned men is so refreshing. Lecrae for his great transparency and sense of humor. And Tim for his teaching and honesty. I would love to have the sound bites and quotes from this episode!
So much respect for their efforts to do the healing work and actively become a husband and life partner. Not just get married.
“If you hoe all the way up to marriage, don't think your mind and body is going to respond to monogamy and exclusivity well. And be content.”

Then they camouflage wanting it all just to take advantage of the "benefits". I hope that men become more vocal and truthful about what they truly want in these dating streets. 👏👏👏 good stuff!
Reminds me of the story of Ruth when Boaz gave the other man a chance to marry Ruth but he only wanted the benefits and not the commitment.
False most women want the benefits without wanting to bring what they're supposed to see it all the time
the honesty and transparency of both Lecrae and Timmy is great for men

It’s such a powerful book and I would encourage everyone to read it
There is also one for women

Dr. Myles Munroe was so wise and a powerful man of God and preacher.

This was great content and I pray every Man sees this episode, but we as women also benefit. A lot of what was discussed aligned with content I'm ministering on. God Bless you and this podcast!
God bless you!
Gave me chills talking about working for Nissan as I have been with this company for 10 years. Been having my own mental ups and downs of feeling like less of a man due to certain accomplishments not being met. Truly listening and learning here fellas!
You guys just get better and BETTER!!! And u have the AUDACITY to have LECRAE himself on the show!! Much respect this way! I love these men! And so Godly proud of u guys’ growth! KEEP GOING! I’m here for ALL of it!
As a woman, I watched and enjoyed the whole video, but seeing y'all sign out as just four men WANTING to pray, I tore up a bit. Thanks for this convo; it was a blessing.
I am currently experiencing a divorce from my husband of 12 years after having our 1st son. He left our family to start another one, which I can feel this woman’s presence but I don’t even know what her face looks like.
This was so incredibly insightful! I am grieving; however, learning as a woman of God marriage is a ministry. We need to be purposefully with everything we do/say and that begins with acknowledging and worshipping our Creator!
Thank you gentlemen for doing this. It is truly a blessing!
As a 35 year old: The best thing I can tell my “internet soul sisters” is to focus on your fitness, nutrition, and femininity. I spent way too much time obese in my prime because i didn’t value fitness and missed out on the “highest concentration of options” in
college. Its not too late but we MUST be intentional moving foward!!!
I haven’t watch the video yet but what do you mean the highest concentration of options😅
@@waniokok1921 Many black women have the most options in college
A lady can be fit physically, aligned mentally and driven in “college years”… but still may not be someone’s preference.
Then what ?!
@@solonia7355Find another one who you are a preference for. In other words, change your applicant pool and seek a man whos crazy about you
And date outside of your race in college. If you’re only looking for black men you’ll get the same results
This is one of the best episodes I’ve listened to in my life!!! Seriously! As a man I get so much value from you all’s show. Keep up the great work 🙏🏾
I pray men listened. This was great! No disagreements 🙌🏽👏🏽
I have been waiting on this episode, and it did NOT disappoint!
Thanks!
We appreciate you!!🙏🏾💪🏾
Lecrae’s sense of Humor! The transparency here is phenomenal!
As a woman this blessed me tremendously!! Thank you all for your candor yet still presenting biblical truth in a manner that was straight practical!!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
This is amazing ..." that women may know that they can be safe around men who are connected to God." 💫So many lessons here!!!!
❤❤
As a woman watching, this is conversation is edifying. Sending this to all the brothers in my circle.
This is by far real talk oh my god!! no one on earth has ever explain it like this just awesome
Y’all are out here doing God’s work 👏🏾 This is the best podcast I’ve come across hosted by men that discusses all aspects of relationships in a way that seems to be healthy, real, and relatable. No misogynistic undertones-bringing on a variety of guest whom are experienced and offer a wealth of knowledge and great perspectives. Kudos to you all! Great success to you!
We're screaming in the live chat about misogynistic undertones lol
@@Heyu7her3 omg really? Lol
I Love Love Love this episode! I'm a mom of three sons and I shared this with them. I pray they get something from this. They're 32, 25 and 22. This adds to how we've raised them to be. ❤ I'm a fan!
Take aways:
1. failures are findings
2. If you don't want them in your head then they aren't the one.
3. Abstaining from sex trains you for being successful in a marriage.
4. All purpose ain't paycheck
❤️❤️
Exactly! 24:20 when it comes to your gift(s), it (they) will show up in EVERY THING that you do. A person’s gift as a communicator will have them showing up as a journalist, or a rapper, preaching, or a radio personality or teacher, et. Al. I noticed that long ago, you’ll never escape your gift when you live authentically. I pay close attention to the kids in my family and watch for the gifts to show up. As they grow older, I ask questions that encourage them and expose them to experiences that contribute to who they are in purpose.
Hardly Intimated Co-Hosts - The level of coaching and therapy you two are getting through this unique show is out of this world. Sometimes i feel like sitting in your chairs to listen up and close to all these amazing life coaches. It is the best thing in the world. Your show is amazing 👏
I thoroughly enjoyed this. There's so many podcasts and channels dedicated to bashing women, or praising bad behavior from men, that it's refreshing to see Tim & Lecrae be honest, open, and shed wisdom. Even when the host kept trying to trip them up with the fidelity piece, they stood toes down, and honored their spouse. It really takes these types of men to be in community with your man. I'm always feel like when you're in a marriage/relationship, your community is SO important. I wish there were more men in proximity like this. God bless you all, and your beautiful families.
LETS GO!!! We love y’all!!!
This was an amazing episode. I would venture to say one of the best. I appreciate the honesty and transparency. Men and women need to create a safe place to be heard.
Two of my absolute fav thought leaders - Tim and Lecrae! Great interview HI guys. Was thoroughly fed.
This episode was lit 🔥. These two were sharing so much wisdom and it was definitely one episode I won’t forget in a hurry. Thank you Tysean and Ryan. So much love for Pastor Tim Ross and Lecrae.
Telling your spouse (wife, husband) what you feel is good because you are giving them the opportunity to show you they care and their helper side. They signed up for better or worse. ❤
I love what Tim said about preparing your body for monogamy
That’s a word! “These young ladies’s body are a temple and you’re not the priest of that temple. You don’t belong in there.” 🔥
When you are connected to your creator, you won’t have any problems that will be too much or too hard to overcome. Simple but powerful.
This is the episode I been waiting on!! Straight 🔥🔥🔥💪💪 Everything I expected it to be.
🍾BIG Facts EJT
Powerful discussion 🔥
Wow I’m 30 minutes into this episode and I’m straight in tears…my God thank y’all so much for giving me a chance as a woman to better understand my man…I must admit that I have high regards for men/my man but at the same time I felt that I really don’t truly understand men the way that I feel I should, that will allow me to understand and connect with him on a deeper level…and to hear this from men themselves…this means so much to me ❤
Tim is the Wise Woke Father and Lecrae is the Transparent MVP!!!
This was another home run fellas. This particular episode gave me hope and Faith that there are still Godly men/ God fearing men/ Christ centered black men that exist even in 2023.
My first time watching and I’m on my lunch break at my desk not wanting to clock back in. I’ve already clicked on share and I’m only at 31:08. You KNOW GOD IS GOOD! Thank y’all for this message for men but us women also.
Wow!!! Yes Tim Thank you for saying men first need, is to be connected to God!!! Yes thank you!!!
As a woman I received so much from this!! I am leaving with some tools to continue in my progression (A TC Nation citizen here) on my Kingdom journey. And as a Certified Lite Coach who has a calling to work with male athletes this was valuable perspective that I will share with them! Thank you Hardly Initiated for having this necessary conversation!
This is so good! The Temple analogy is POWERFUL!
This was the BEST show I've seen from them. This is totally worth it. I walked away the better for watching this ENTIRE podcast today. Blessings to all you guys!
This is a phenomenal episode with Tim Ross and LeCrae. The biblical teachings were on point Men of God. Thank you for the wisdom, insight, and the powerful power prayer. This gives me hope!! I will continue to stay prayerful and keep the faith that my future Godly husband will find me in God’s timing. Thank you again Men of God!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽😃😃
This conversation was amazing. So much transparency and accountability discussed amongst men and encouraged in marriages.
Our young men have a Rite of Passage ceremony when they turn 13. I’m lucky enough to watch them transition from my Sabbath school class into the next stage. They really mature and grow into the understanding they are now considered young men. They really start taking on the true understanding of responsibility and ownership.
I'm a woman and THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGGGGG!!!! I COULD NOT TURN IT OFF!!
La Crae & Tim Ross are precious gems..
This conversation was so enlightening. It did not disappoint, thank you gentleman for showing you’re an example, speaking from truth and God.
This is exactly what the Lord wanted me to hear. Appreciate the work you all are doing, Thank you and God bless!
I had stumbled onto HI middle of last year (2023) enjoyed listening to their guests. After few episodes watch I became a fan. Tysean & Ryan I'm so proud of your growth, maturity, non judgemental views, active listening skills, humor, and most importantly your hand picked panelists to discuss today's hot topic.
If I can pick out THE BEST episode actually it's was hard to choose, but the episode that spoken to my soul was:
Pastor Tim Ross & Lecrae on Duty of Men.
The particular episode was the confirmation I heard in my spirit regarding the Duty of Men.
Thank you so much!
You men are chosen to heal broken men.
Men that pray should be a trend!! Thank you! Thank you 🙏🏾
Absolutely love this conversation!!! I quit dating last year because it was a nightmare and I hated doing it. My father is the standard that NO MAN has ever been able to meet. Thank you for this conversation.
Thank you both for continually leveling up with these brilliant conversations, overflowing with jewels. You are truly doing revolutionary work. I am a young yet grown woman, committed to my path of personal growth & development, preparing myself for my future man. I feel like he's out there right now, listening to your show and nodding his head.❤🔥
Why did I cry watching this??? ❤ Bless Godly men. Striving to be a Godly man.
This is so GOOD. like drink the collard green juice off the plate GOOD! So many good points. I really hope you guys have as many male followers as female. We all need this.
The level of vulnerability in this convo!! Sheesh🔥🔥
I honor y’all for giving us authentic stories
Awesome! Lit Conversation🔥
🙏🏾let’s goooo
I’m loving listening to men actually communicate and learning. Sharing experiences. If I had a teenage son I would have him listen. This is so great. Very powerful to hear what a black man has going on and what I need to look out for and work on. Thank you.
The most vulnerable I’ve seen Lecrae since I read his 1st book 💯
Love watching valuable conversations like this. Glad there are a lot more platforms for Black Men to express themselves unapologetically and authentically.
I love the fact that I am created to complete the man God created for me!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I appreciate this conversation, Men. Thank you for underscoring how critical it is for Men to be properly initiated into Manhood. As a now single mom raising 4 young Men, I'm very clear that I can raise them, but not initiate them. Thank you for Men putting this out and standing on Manhood. We need you, and we appreciate you.
And thank you for the wisdom for Women. Being equally yoked is critical...and it's more than equal paychecks.
Blessings!
Dope pod gents! I really appreciate Lecrae’s presence here. Tim is dope, but he does come across as Mr. perfect even when discussing his marriage. I love the fact that Lecrae kept It real with us regarding romance, disappointment, having kids, etc. I think we need to hear about the speed bumps that come along in a relationship as much as we do the couple that’s perfect.
One of the best episodes yet!! Tim and Lecrae together!!! 🔥🔥🔥so many gems in this one!!
As a single Christian woman, this was fire 🔥 So much insight
HI x Basement 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 one of the BEST episodes yet! ❤
Where you been at Fancy?!
@@HardlyInitiated I know!! 😂Work life hatin on my HI time then was on vacay for anniversary trip. I’m getting caught up. I’m missed some 🔥 tho 😭
Lecrae the most realest man ever! I so appreciated his openness ❤. These men are awesome! Great show!
Leadership is sometimes leading in service, leading in humility ❤
I am sending this to my 21 year old son,I really hope He is patient enough to watch the whole episode. This has been one of the best Yet!!! We need more of this Guys
Hey. I’m about to have my 11 year old son watch this with me! He is definitely having a Black mitzvah when he turns 13 😂❤🙏🏾
13year old is not a man
Love listening to your podcasts and learning so much from a man’s perspective! Keep it going
Preciate you Nia!
LORD, RAISE UP GODLY MEN TO BE HUSBANDS AND FATHERS!!!!! SO THAT WE CAN BE WIVES AND MOTHERS!!!!! AMEN!!!!!! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
A MAN is someone who recognizes his HEAD and LEADER, and he acts accordingly. He LOVES GOD and CHRIST more than anything, or anyone including himself. Anytime a MALE is on JESUS CHRIST team, he is now OFFICIALLY a MAN. If he's on JESUS team, he's going to LIVE and DO RIGHT. He also applies Matthew 7:12 which is to TREAT others the same way you want to be treated....in other words, DON'T do to others what you would NEVER want done to you. A MAN not only KNOWS this, he LIVES and APPLIES this in his EVERY DAY LIFE. It's really just that SIMPLE. I really value, appreciate and love Lacrae, and I wish him and his family nothing but the very, very BEST. This world need MORE people like him. Music that UPLIFTS, opposed to TEARING DOWN. AWESOME!!!🙏🥰😇🙏
Thanks!
Preciate you Jeff!!
For most a Real Man.. trustworthy, character, honesty, open to love, firm, assertive, leader, spiritual, provider, protector ❤
To God be the Glory for these two brother's to be obedient and open to God working in their lives to provide such a Powerful Testimony to what God can AND will do with a Willing Heart to follow Him. 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽
LOVEEE this conversation. Great men in great relationships are out here.
Love me some Tim Ross! This Pod could go on for HOURS! Men need help and need this example of men having a convo about this topic all day every day! God is good.
This has got to be the BEST podcast I’ve ever heard 🔥🔥🙏👍🏽❤ please get this out to ALL THE PEOPLE!
