Riots, Looting, Death Threats, and the Gospel in Dark Places with Russell Johnson

Riots, Looting, Death Threats, and the Gospel in Dark Places with Russell Johnson

Do you find it hard to be courageous as a Christian in the times we're living in? More and more people are bowing to the opinions of others and to woke-culture instead of bowing to the cross. I get that standing up and using your voice makes you vulnerable to backlash, but guess what? Jesus Himself said, "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." With that topic in mind, I cannot think of a more perfect guest to have on for today's episode than Pastor Russell Johnson. Pastor Russell Johnson was born and raised in Seattle and though he spent the first part of his adult-life working in politics, God had other plans. In the summer of 2014, Pastor Russell and his wife, Marija, stepped out in faith to start The Pursuit. Their church started in a barn with no indoor plumbing, no heat, and broken windows, but God was up to something. In 2018, Pastor Russell and Marija purchased a former department store building and began a full-scale remodel, converting the space into a multi-use church, preschool/childcare facility, and outreach center. The Pursuit is a place where anyone can belong, everyone can contribute, and anything can happen. In this episode, Pastor Russell Johnson and I talk about how the pandemic exposed backwards values, that cancel culture is only going to get worse, and how a little courage goes a long way. Here are a few reasons to listen to the entire episode with Pastor Russell Johnson: being courageous as a christian in today's culture fighting back against cultural pressure how God is working in churches around the world Connect with Pastor Russell Johnson: Website Instagram Facebook YouTube Support the showInstagramTikTokYouTubePinterestTwitterLemon8 Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Chiseled and Called.
