I’ve been wondering!! Can’t wait!
Oh Yeah! Been waiting for this……
Is this an album or an interview?
Regardless, God Bless you Tim. You have done miraculous things for my walk with your music. I pray that the Lord has more albums planned for you to release.
Primarily, my anticipation has been at seeing Timothy restored and renewed.
Thank you to Tim and Flo for their openness, and humility in sharing such personal issues within their own lives. Thank you Lampmode for even thinking to do such a thing as giving us this interview, and most of all thank YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST for YOUR saving grace through the CROSS!!!
Been praying for this brother. I feel like God is answering them. Thanks for the update Josh.
Hey hey! We’re still loving you folks in Pittsburgh.
Just let me know when you need me to do “the robot” for you.
Encouraging and made me happy to know things are going well for Tim and his family. I was lead to the Lord back in 2004 when Timothy visted Holloman AFB. Can’t say I’m still with the Christ today and in most ways have no interest in seeking him except when I’m really on the edge. However, I did feel encouraged when Tim brought up the promises of the Lord and that a good work started in you will be completed. Hope I make it. Please pray for me whether my soul is handed over to the devil so that I might be saved or if somehow my fall is a lesson to others, his will be done. Thanks lampmode.
God Is AWESOME! Super thankful for pruning seasons.Continual blessings!
I am so happy for you Tim and Flo I pray you both as One under Christ continue to edify everyone for the growth of the church as we All should do. I still listen to both your albums on the regular and your music has give me the courage to die of the flesh. Yes to this day your still my favorite Christian rapper along with Shai linne and of course Dj Essence I love to hear you mix. Tim I will be looking forward to the album. Matter of fact can I pre-order right now let me know? Lampmode please continue to allow The Holy Spirit to work though you to,set the right perspective too those that listen to Christian Hip Hop. I pray for a life changing season for all you at Lampmode including for your families. Peace Love to you family and Glory To The Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen! Where can I pre-order?!
PRAISE THE LORD!! Timothy has no idea how much his music has influenced an entire generation. When he stopped his ministry I understood, but it hurt because his music was able to penetrate beyond most artist i knew. At work someone herd his album killing sin, and they didn’t even like rap music! But he was able to ministry so thoroughly that the person began to listen to rap and got a copy of timothy brindle’s cd! (also made pagan or two mad) Dude I LOVE timothy because of his realness on his records. He is so transparent and he educates the masses.. this is the greatest interview ever! WELCOME BACK bro, if there’s anything i can do let me know..I’m in.. Lamp mode is back baby!!!
I was blessed by the interview, and Im super stoked to see what God is going to do with Tim. Praise the King!
WOw…im so happy to see him back on his feet…keep pressin brotha
Praise God
Thanks for the Update. Your testimony as a married couple is so encouraging. I will continue to pray for you guys,your ministry and label. Love you all. God is sooo good!
For His Glory,
Walter
Amen! I’m glad to witness the restoration of a fellow brother in Christ. His testimony shows us that no man is exempt from the fall of man despite the celebrity that may be glorified by the world system. A number of believers may view Christian Hip-Hop artists as idols, of sorts, but Brindle’s testimony shows us that we all should keep our eyes on the Lord and no one else but Jesus. We are all in need of his grace and mercy. I’m happy to hear that through this valley, Brindle was able to and continues to heal to be the rock for his family as God intended us, as men, to be. Praise God and I look forward to hearing your testimony on wax, based on what you’ve been through over the past few years.
Praise God….Madluv to all those that lifted Tim and Flo in prayers…and those that took time to encourage them in person…
Grateful for the update! Welcome back brother. Already excited for the return.
I graduated from Pure Life Ministries live-in program earlier this year, and had heard a little bit about Timothy’s life and work. This video is a real encouragement. I’m going to pass it on to my program brothers.
Wow this was a powerful testimony of God’s faithfulness to administer grace to his children. Very encouraging to know that Tim and Flo are ok and that they’re trusting in God’s grace, looking more to the finish work of Christ on the cross and holding on to the promise of restoration that comes through Christ.
Great interview, thanks
Tim’s best album is yet to come!!!
praise GOD!!!!!! That was a blessing, and cant wait for that album!!
auto-tune….lol…i like boom bap….theres nothing interesting about auto tunes….kinda takes away from practicing and working on gaining sronger vocals
Timothy Brindle had a huge impact on my early walk in the Lord, Praise God for His Saving Grace. I love Lampmode’s sound and love Tim’s Grimy Boom Bap. Can’t wait to hear God use you on the mic again. Its a blessing to know you are a real man, you take care of your family, and you go all out for the Lord. Great walking example.
God Bless all of Lampmode
Great to hear from Timothy and his wife. I have wondered about and prayed for him (I didn’t know about his lady) as God has brought him to mind. So glad for the testimony of redemption and for the church body that walked with them through the process. God’s continued care over the Brindles and praising Christ that He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Love Lampmode!
Man I was soooo curious about what happened to Tim and now I’m so glad he took the time off! I knew exactly where they were at and the cross is HUGE after God puts you through those painful self-revelations, then love-heals you through them.
Wow-ness,
From the Background to the Foreground…
Blessings to you Eso & Brindle…. and Flo…. May you be used to save and touch many more souls…..

Beautiful portrait of the gospel
I’m glad you guys did this interview with Brindle and his wife. It definitely answers the questions that keep getting asked. Praise God for all he’s doing in Brindle’s life and for humbling him. It’s another example of God having someone be broken to get them where He wants them to be.
On a lighter note, Esso looked like Mr. Rogers with that outfit.
man praise God for this restoration. thanx lamp mode for posting
I’m so grateful for this ministry. Grateful for the restoration the Lord has provided Tim and his family. I love killing sin. The church is so beautiful when it operates as God intended.
Glory!

Thank you Lamp Mode for this update. Good to hear from brother Timothy and his wife. To hear your testimony is a blessing. The way God our Father has loved you and your family during these past years. To hear you describe what you have gone through, I can relate and brings hope that God will also bring me through. The way God has used you in your music to this day, really holds me down. I look forward to hear the next project. It’s like my pastor says, “There is no testimony with out test first” Fight the fade brother. May God continue to bless and keep you…
GO JESUS!
YEAH atta boy Tim. Love this guy, flaws and all. I can relate to the journey his family’s on, having fallen myself and being received by God’s grace and led on a path of restoration by my leaders and authorities… Super stoked to see God’s revealing of a restored, renewed, more mature servant in Tim Brindle on a new album. This cat’s hungry for the boom-bap!
Encouraging, restoration epitomised. To whom much is forgiven……
Excellent. What a blessing! I could not agree more. We need more of that old school flavor both in our theology and hip hop. That Shai Linn stuff. May the Lord use this blessed couple to continue our heritage.

Soli Deo Gloria! What an encouragement! I sure wish I had Bro tim, shai &essos email….I would love to strike up a freindship so we can impart to each other Spiritual gifts….that is we may be mutually encouraged by one anothers Faith:) Bro tim….you are my most favorite and i have been deeply encouraged by your sesrvice to the Lord…..Killing Sin is my most favorite album of all time……….Soli Deo Gloria!
Praise God that you guys were able to post such an encouraging video, it might not have been intentional, but this public ministry was a blessing to me. The way that you guys were able to speak about the way that standing on Christ, the Rock and endure is truly a blessing beyond words, for me. I appreciate it with maximum glory to God, thank you wholeheartedly for allowing Him to use you all. God bless you guys

What did he do?
Tim and Flo, not having talked to or seen you for a while (Tim), it is a blessing to see you two together and hear your testimony. I have been praying for your marraige and each of you individually for years. Marraige exposes our hearts in a way that singleness doesn’t but the grace of God is right in the mix with our sin. Blessings to both of you!
“How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!” Ps 2:12
Thanks Lampmode for the interview.
This was good to hear. Killing Sin got me through some rough times, and even though I still battle with my flesh, as the Word says, God’s grace is sufficient for me. Tim, I hear what you’ve been through, we know that God’s chastisement can be painful but it stems from His love for us and His desire to get us back on track so that we can live forever in His awesome presence! I pray that both you and Flo continue to allow the love of God to fill you to overflow, that your ministry continues to be used by God to save and to restore those that are fallen. Whether through music or through your interviews, I hope that we see more of you guys as God continues to regenerate and strengthen you through His Word and through His love. A big “God bless you!” from the UK!
Good to know your well and in still God. Grace and Peace.
Peace and grace Tim. Your albums encouraged me a great deal when I first came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. God bless you and your family.
