Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen Russell

Acts 16:20-34; John 17:20-26“Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty andbeauty. Don't mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset.” - Stephen Russell

Do the debates about Christianity that stirred so much violence in the 1500's still matter? Stephen Russell and Dean Taylor emphasize the importance of a believer's church and the church refusing to adopt governmental power. “The same theology in similar circumstances will likely produce similar results”Love Is Like a Fire: Stephen Russell talks about Erasmus's influence and legacy: Dean Taylor mention's Chesterton's story from Orthodoxy about an Englishman discovering England: This is the 268th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to discuss the church during the medieval period.Medieval Europe is often seen as the Dark Ages. It was a time of great changes and turmoil. G. K. Chesterton, referring to that period, wrote in Orthodoxy, "The Church was the only thing that ever brought us out of [the Dark Ages]."Join us as we discuss the church in the medieval period, an era largely unstudied and misunderstood today.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

In this Easter Sunday message, Stephen Russell looks at the stone that was rolled away—and what it really means for us today. It's not just about the resurrection; it's about the barriers in our own lives that Jesus came to remove. Whether it's shame, guilt, fear, or feeling stuck, this message is a reminder that nothing has to stand between us and God anymore. The stone's been rolled away—freedom is here!

In this message from the Extra-Ordinary series, Stephen Russell unpacks the lives of Elijah and Elisha and their powerful connection to Jesus. As Elijah is taken up in a whirlwind, Elisha receives a double portion of his spirit—a picture of the incredible outpouring of the Holy Spirit available to us today. The miracles Elisha performed point us to Jesus' ministry and His promise that we, too, would do “greater things.”This message encourages us to go beyond simply being anointed or having moments with God. The Holy Spirit doesn't just want to come upon us—He wants to fill us! Through these amazing Old Testament accounts, we're reminded of the power, presence, and purpose we have in Christ.

February 22, 2025 Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to discuss how the apostolic church's original stance towards their earthly nation shifted over time.The first 300 years of the Church's existence were marked by distrust and persecution of the Church by the Roman Empire. The next twelve centuries reveal an ever-closer entanglement of Church and State in western Europe (the core of Christendom). Why and what were some of the results of this?An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/sacred-roots-development-of-the-relationship-between-church-and-state/

Have you ever wondered why speaking in tongues is so important, or even relevant? Is it just for a few “super spiritual” people, or is it meant for all believers? In this message, Stephen unpacks what the Bible says about this powerful gift of the Holy Spirit.Starting in Acts 2:4—where “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues”—Stephen explores why speaking in tongues is not just an ancient phenomenon but a crucial part of our faith today. He also looks at 1 Corinthians 14:4, where Paul teaches that speaking in tongues edifies the believer, and Mark 16:17, where Jesus Himself said, “These signs will accompany those who believe… they will speak in new tongues.”Through real-life stories, practical insights, and biblical teaching, this message will challenge you to step out in faith and embrace this gift of the Holy Spirit. Whether you've never spoken in tongues before, or want to grow in this gift, this episode will encourage and inspire you.

January 25, 2025Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to discuss Gnosticism and its effects.God has told us in the first two chapters of Genesis about the world he has made. It has a spiritual and a physical aspect. And, it is all good. But in the early days of the church there were those who rejected the truth, only saw the spiritual as good, and yet considered themselves Christians.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.https://strengthtostrength.org/sacred-roots-gnosticism-the-first-serious-threat-to-the-church/

We are all part of the body and we all have a function, a God-given ability and a part to play. 1 Corinthians 12 talks about some of these things and in this message Stephen unpacks them for us; he shares about how we can prepare to share and how the body is strengthened when we all contribute. This message is part of our 'Gather' series. 

We thought we knew everything there was to know about measles. But in recent years, new research has revealed that the virus attacks the immune system and creates effects far more dramatic than a rash and fever. For this episode we're joined by Michael Mina, a former Harvard epidemiologist now at eMed, who helped discover how measles was causing “immune amnesia." Our second guest is Stephen Russell, a former Mayo Clinic researcher who co-founded a company called Vyriad. Russell is trying to use the measles virus to treat cancer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen again to this message from Market Harborough as we start a new short series in 1 Corinthians focussing on how we gather.

Initially, the early Christians refused to fight. Over time, they adopted a Just War stance, and in time used this to justify the forcible conversion of conquered peoples. With the Crusades, Just War was expanded to include what was called “Holy War,” and Christendom went to war in the Middle East with the Islamic empires. Stephen Russell outlines these critical pieces of the church's history and explains how the church modified the Islamic concept of jihad to justify attacking their enemies. Russell shows how this was a seismic shift away from the teachings of the New Testament and what the early church had practiced.Stephen Russell's bookOther episodes with Stephen RussellThis is the 227th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

As we continue our mini-series "Signposts" we look at the account of Jesus clearing the temple. We consider some areas of our own lives that may need clearing in order that Jesus can fill the space, bring order, and lead us in His Kingdom. We are the temple of The Lord and we can make sure that his temple is in good order.

Whatever we face? - JESUS is the answer! Ask and He will come! He (the Centurion) knew where to come. We also need to “know” this, many times we try to do things in our own strength - We can be so quick not to seek Jesus first. I can sort this in my own power, with the counsel of others, my own ability, sometimes we feel like God will hold it against us if we "constantly" pester Him? But Centurion "knew" that Jesus was the answer. To often we wait until we get to "crisis management" He wants us to "share" our lives with Him. This is the way He wants us to walk.

We're seeing growing conflict once again in the Middle East, with America and its allies getting more involved. How should we be thinking about it? How do we avoid the temptation to take sides and think of this in patriotic terms of “our” country beating the “enemy”? Stephen Russell shares how he came to believe in nonresistance, and principles for how the Anabaptist people should be thinking about politics, war, and foreign policy. Instead of trusting in worldly nations, we should be trusting in Jesus and his kingdom, and patiently and faithfully pointing people to Christ instead of a political agenda.Russell's bookThe Patient Ferment of the Early ChurchThis is the 215th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.

God Wants you to have Kingdom Yeast! Without the yeast the flour cannot be made to rise. Without Jesus and His Kingdom the world cannot be saved, cannot be changed - Both work silently and unseen. The power of the Kingdom is not physical and yet it produces definite results. The same applies to our own lives - the Kingdom (and all it's teachings) needs to rise, invade and permeate every part of our lives. Through the parable of the yeast, Jesus teaches us that the Kingdom of Heaven is alive, it's everywhere, it takes attention and patience to grow, and it transforms everything it touches. Yeast is microscopic in size, and only a little is kneaded (and a only a little is needed!) into the dough. Yet, given time, the yeast will spread through all the dough. In the same way, Jesus started with twelve men in an obscure corner of Galilee, but it has spread throughout the world.  We need to "knead the dough" of our lives making sure it reaches, permeates, and touches every part of our lives.It takes effort and technique - it is hard work sometimes! He wants our characters and walk with Him to rise evenly, with no flat spots, no section that are unleavened.

"There's something beautiful, almost magical about the realization that what you are doing is participating in a procreative action. That is something that same sex intercourse cannot do. The point of this episode isn't to say that people with same-sex attraction should be demonized, hated, or unjustly treated. Rather, the point is that awareness needs to be raised of the health risks, both psychologically and biologically, that are associated with homosexual and bisexual lifestyles. There are people who are born with same-sex attraction and can live holy and healthy lives. If we love them, then we ought to help them, not by forcing them to do anything, but by providing resources and information that they could willingly choose to accept or reject."

Stephen Russell, a former airborne infantryman with a decade of military service. He brings a unique perspective shaped by his deployment with Bco 1/12 3HBCT 1st Cav DIV to Baqubah, Iraq, during the surge in 2006-2007. Beyond the battlefield, he's a versatile artist, currently contributing to the comic series Tales of Nihilism and open for traditional art commissions. He believes the U.S. hasn't fully reckoned with the aftermath of 9/11, emphasizing the need to confront our collective anger and hate. His memoir, Troublemakers: The Greatest Dog and Pony Show in Iraq, is a compelling exploration of the nature of war and its lasting impact on current events—a moral imperative to illuminate the foundations shaping our world today.Thank you for pressing play on this small veteran podcast.

Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to discuss radical peacemaking.The early church and the first Anabaptists heard not only that God loves us and wants to save us, but they also heard, more clearly than many other Christians, that turning to Jesus has definite and clear implications, namely, that God's people are to cooperate with Him so that His grace will change us on the inside, thus enabling us more fully and effectively to be His ambassadors to a lost, hurting world.Today we will look at the biblical, historical, and theological foundations of nonresistance and perhaps consider some practical ideas for living as peacemakers (the literal word used in the Sermon on the Mount) in a very violent, hate-wracked world.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to explore a defense of Biblical authority against its critics.Stephen begins by giving a summary of what the Scriptures consist of and how they were formed.Following this, he speaks of all people's quest to understand their own lives and the world around them. In our desire to share the Gospel with others, we should do so winsomely, drawing from Peter's advice in 1 Peter 3:8-17.The Christian's defense should not use Scripture as a weapon. Instead, we should supersede confrontational apologetics with gentleness and respect, seeking to live an attractive Gospel message through our lives.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

In this episode of the Knowledge to Action series, host Jen Whitelaw speaks with Stephen Russell, current President and CEO of San Diego Housing Federation and former Executive Director of the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement District. He sheds some light on the important role of Business Improvement Districts, including supporting economic development activities and promoting city growth and community engagement. Steven talks about The Boulevard's successful growth due to the BID and how community owners can learn more about creating their own Business Improvement District.   Timestamps: [3:34] What we can learn from Temporary Paradise when we consider the role of commercial areas in our quest to create more housing. [5:18] Steve provides a snapshot of some of the changes that the El Cajon Boulevard corridor experimented with as a result of the El Cajon Boulevard Business Improvement Association, how it has changed over the years, and the important players that have been involved. [14:02] Why was the Federal Main Street Program invented, and what unique role did San Diego have in its implementation? [19:35] What models in other cities can we look to for inspiration? [20:38] Steve talks about the triangulation of and how city staff, elected officials, and communities can all work together through BIDs to bring about positive change. [25:13] BIDs promote smart growth and sustainability. In what ways do we see that happening around town? [29:00] Steve provides some resources for business owners to take advantage of BIDs in their area or to start one themselves. [30:26] One of the greatest advantages of having a BID is that if you have coordinated economic development programs, your advocacy for basic new and public improvements can sharpen that game.   About C-3 In its 60 years of existence, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) has brought together local thought leaders from planning, design, policy, academia, community development, and more to address our region's distinctive and pressing land use challenges.

It is good to work and to be invested in our work. Distributism fits well with traditional Anabaptist values, even though it has largely been articulated by Catholic thinkers. Stephen Russell urges us to “look at distributism and see how it fits with what we have traditionally tried to do, and learn from it”. These themes include valuing craftsmanship, family businesses, and widespread ownership of the tools and infrastructure needed for business.  Recommended Resources: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15798769-the-hound-of-distributism  (The Hound of Distributism) edited by Richard Altman: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/184565   (What's Wrong with the World) by G.K.

What does Scripture have to say about loaning money at interest? Do Old Testament prohibitions apply to us? How does collecting interest fit with working with our own hands and being productive?  Stephen Russell gives us glimpses into how the church has thought about this over the last two millenia, and how Christian thinking changed as economic systems changed. Stephen calls us to see God's heart as revealed in the Old Testament year of Jubilee.   Recommended Resource: https://www.crisismagazine.com/2011/catholics-and-usury-a-tragic-history (https://www.crisismagazine.com/2011/catholics-and-usury-a-tragic-history)  This is the 151st episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.  Visit our https://www.youtube.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (YouTube channel) Connect with us on https://www.facebook.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (Facebook) Listen to our episodes on our https://www.soundcloud.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (podcast) Read our https://www.anabaptistperspectives.org/blog/ (blog) https://anabaptistperspectives.org/donate/ (Support us) or https://anabaptistperspectives.org/about (learn more about us!)

Money has rarely been far removed from the biblical narratives or major conversations of the church since the New Testament. Between the close of the New Testament and the protestant reformation, the church had much to say about usury. Stephen Russell, a student of history, orients us to the church's premodern stance on usury.  Recommended Resource: https://www.crisismagazine.com/2011/catholics-and-usury-a-tragic-history (https://www.crisismagazine.com/2011/catholics-and-usury-a-tragic-history)   This is the 149th episode of Anabaptist Perspectives, a podcast, blog, and YouTube channel that examines various aspects of conservative Anabaptist life and thought.  Visit our https://www.youtube.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (YouTube channel) Connect with us on https://www.facebook.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (Facebook) Listen to our episodes on our https://www.soundcloud.com/anabaptistperspectives/ (podcast) Read our https://www.anabaptistperspectives.org/blog/ (blog) https://anabaptistperspectives.org/donate/ (Support us) or https://anabaptistperspectives.org/about (learn more about us!)
