Tim Ross is a Dallas-based pastor, speaker, and media personality operating under the "Upset The World" ministry brand — a name that frames his entire creative output around disruptive, gospel-centered conversation. His flagship show, The Basement with Tim Ross, is a long-form interview and teaching podcast that strips away church formality in favor of candid discussions on faith, identity, and emotional health. Ross is closely affiliated with Transformation Church — the Dallas congregation led by Pastor Michael Todd — and that relationship has given his platform significant crossover reach within the broader charismatic and non-denominational Christian media ecosystem. A second show, Spending Lunch with Ju, features his wife Juliette and extends the brand's appeal to marriage, family, and women's faith content. High-profile guests like Deion Sanders demonstrate the show's growing pull beyond traditional ministry circles into mainstream cultural conversations.
Upsetthegram reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a faith creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include BetterHelp. Engagement on YouTube runs around 7.8%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows faith content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For brands in faith and related categories, Upsetthegram offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Upset The World is Tim Ross's organization and defining mission statement — to spread the message, love, and hope of Jesus Christ in a way that disrupts comfortable, performative religion. The phrase anchors his business email, social branding, and the tone of every show and guest conversation under the umbrella.
The Missing Peace is a faith-based series Tim Ross has built around the intersection of spiritual belief, inner peace, and emotional wholeness. It connects his broader message of vulnerability with practical questions about mental and spiritual health, and it surfaces as both a content series and a recurring hashtag across his platforms.
Normalizing vulnerability is explicitly named in Tim's YouTube bio as a core part of his mission, not just a content strategy. He believes that honest, unguarded conversations about doubt, struggle, and faith are the only way to meaningfully reach people who have checked out of polished, institutional Christianity.
BetterHelp, the online therapy and mental health platform, has sponsored content on Tim Ross's YouTube channel.
