Tim reminded believers that faith is not about appearance or reputation.

He said:

“You may have tattoos or dreads that make them stare. But neither did Jesus fit the religious image.”

In the same message, Tim announced his upcoming project, No Label, set for release on October 31, 2025.

He described it not just as an album, but as a movement for people who have ever been “boxed, branded, or broken.”

He said the project will carry a message of freedom, love, and grace, challenging the idea that faith must look or sound a certain way.

@ericakgodfrey:

“You don’t have to clean up to come to Him. You come to Him and He does the cleansing through love”

@abrahamjonah360:

"The reason why we have the children of the World, and the Children of God is because there is a clear distinction of how the two live their lives respectively. There are precepts and standards that govern our kingdom as Children of God. We must not strive to look like them and call it grace, but, instead, they should strive to look like us and confess that mercy has found them."

@djuniflex:

"I feel like to tag my former church Sha, I looked like what they wanted me to look for years, the year I decided to look like what I myself I started to hear loud whispers.. Anyways I love Jesus and they don't matter"
