Summary

Lead pastor at The Pursuit NW and recovering politician Russell B. Johnson joins Blake to talk about his journey from working in politics to planting a church that grew at record speed when they refused to close their doors during the lockdown. Listen in as they talk about his conviction and passion for sharing the truth in today’s culture where it is wildly unpopular and how we can love people without compromising our allegiance to Scripture.
