Timothy Brindle is the product of God’s Sovereign Grace, as Jesus rescued him while he was a secular battle-rapper a week before 9/11 in 2001. Timothy’s conversion “interrupted” a secular solo project that he was working on with an underground producer named deejay essence. In God the Father’s Kind and Wise providence He had timothy meet shai linne 7 weeks later who discipled him through the book of Romans over the next 2 years as they got plugged in to a church pastored by Rev. Lance Lewis.

The Lord also saved deejay essence around this time, who moved to Philadelphia in 2002 to start Lamp Mode Recordings, releasing timothy’s first Christian hip-hop album, The Great Awakening in 2003. Timothy released Killing Sin in 2005, The Restoration in 2012, and a group album called The Collective with Stephen the Levite and Zae the Blacksmith in 2013. In their 11 years of marriage, he and his wife Floriana have 6 beautiful children and they live in Philadelphia.

With their encouragement and support, Timothy he recently graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary’s Masters of Divinity program where he spent 5 years studying the Word of Christ to prepare for life-long ministry in the local church. He is a pastoral intern at Cross Community Church (PCA).
