After graduating from seminary, Russ was unsure of God’s leading. He and his wife had been discussing the idea of beginning a new ministry geared toward men. Russ opened his Bible up to 2 Samuel 7, where he had left off the prior day. Verse 3 leapt off the page. It read, “Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it for the Lord is with you.” At that moment, Finding Purpose was born. Russ says that “looking back, I can say that Finding Purpose was God-breathed by His Word.” Since that moment in 2003, Finding Purpose has been all about helping men find their purpose in life. Augustine said it well: “O God, You made us for Yourself, and man’s heart is restless until it rests in Thee!”

Through Scripture and personal testimony, Russ shows that God desires mercy over ritual and a genuine relationship over empty religion.

In this episode of Finding Purpose with Russ Andrews, we explore Hosea 5–6 and Hebrews 12, examining the consequences of disobedience and God's loving discipline, and how repentance leads to forgiveness, restoration, and true joy.
Russ Andrews delivers a sobering and biblically grounded message from Hosea 4 and Jeremiah 23, warning against false shepherds who lead God's people astray. Drawing parallels between ancient Israel and modern society, Russ explains how spiritual decline begins when God's Word is rejected resulting in moral decay, corrupted leadership, and widespread deception.
Russ Andrews continues the study of Hosea, focusing on chapter 2 and the journey from judgment to restoration. Through Israel's unfaithfulness and God's righteous discipline, we see His relentless love and desire to bring His people to repentance.

Ultimately, this passage points to the hope of redemption, fulfilled through God's covenant love and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
