Russell’s 30+ years of studies and the application of natural world and biblical principles to real-life situations has prepared him to bring understandings and boots-on-the-ground illustrations to his presentations. He weaves recent and historical events, personal experiences, and biblical truth into word pictures that call the human spirit to attention. The message defines a path toward living powerfully, living lovingly, and functioning with soundness of mind.
The method is to connect the dots – providing relevant content that points out relationships of cause and effect between specific realities in the spiritual and natural worlds. Then intentionally promotes working in harmony with these realities. This awakens the human spirit, generates motivation, and puts a spotlight on what matters most.
Russell’s process is to simplify the presentation of spiritual truths and natural world realities into take-home-with-you understandings. He offers next steps for becoming the best version of you – powerful for good, fully alive, of a sound mind, and dangerous to evil. These messages go deeply into hearts of listeners who desperately want positive change in themselves, their communities, and the governing of the USA.
Good governance of self, families, communities, and nations does not happen without design, good character, follow through, and God’s direct involvements. The most powerful people influencing the founding and governing structures of the USA, as a Constitutional Republic, had understandings of the brokenness of human nature. Some were fully convinced of God’s direct involvement in lives of ordinary people. Many were also in awe of the beauty of God’s design for individual persons. They experienced God’s direct involvement in gaining freedom and establishing this nation. They saw freedom and self-governance, under our Creator God, as unalienable rights. They recognized the profound need to sacrifice to protect personal freedom while creating a national system of self-governance that honors the realities of God’s design.
Russell earned a Master’s of Arts Degree in biblical and professional counseling, attended two bible colleges, and never stops investigating the natural world. He has accumulated many thousands of hours addressing his own shortcomings and serving people in all the stages of brokenness to wholeness – a process of becoming fit for wisdom. He loves the outdoors, agriculture, and wildlife. Russell is a family man, has been a constitutional coach, a missionary, a pastor, developed trade skills, and owned small businesses. Oh, and by way, he also carries with him some DNA of persons who came to America on the Mayflower!
