He firmly believes that God, who knows our hearts and minds (Ps. 139:13-15), can restore and heal us through Christ’s love and the Holy Spirit changing us from the inside out (2 Cor. 3:18). This belief fuels his passion for guiding individuals and couples through their challenges and crises toward a more fulfilling life that Christ promises (John 10:10). Russ also believes that God’s common grace on humanity allows us to gain valuable insight from psychology. Whether it’s a matter of physics, finances, medicine, or the soul, all truth derives from God, and He can use it to provide comfort and healing.

Recognizing that life is not without its share of troubles (John 16:33), Russ is committed to walking alongside and encouraging couples and individuals facing challenges and crises. His ultimate goal is to help them find a life of fulfillment through a deeper relationship with the triune God.
