I am constantly blown away recently by the amount of people I never thought would turn to Jesus , turn to Jesus. People are seeking the truth and when you meet the truth you cannot deny Him
Nothing more humbling than being a Christian my whole life, and listening to someone who just came to Christ, effortlessly articulate the Christian life with more precision, wisdom and humility than Ive ever been able to
This is why it's good to be around other Christians. It's often the ones that have fallen the farthest that, when they finally let Christ into their heart, have the most clarity about their relationship with Him.
I'm one of those Christians who sees a celebrity turn to christ and I just have nothing but doubt. Seeing this episode of Russel has really opened my eyes and I feel he is sincerely turning to christ and it's humbled me. Thank you to George and Shawna for this episode, and also to Russel brand for being so transparent and genuine.
@anolds24 Because, unfortunately, it's a human response. Seeing a celebrity formally indulge in worldly things, as we all have done, it's just natural to be sceptical. Anyone pretending not to have some form of doubt is just a liar
@@MAPSMAPS1234you look at the lives of so called Christians- stars are not and some are on stage half naked, living with their partners etc. By their works you know them.
ty george ive been in heroin addiction for over 10 years, im back in rehab and im about 15 days clean. my birthdays coming up im happy im here to see it after all the overdoses. God is good.
Hey man. I just want to say that you aren't alone. Only last night had a bad overdose on cocaine after a long time of addiction, and I was lucky to make it to today. Basically my heart nearly shut down and I collapsed. A few more bumps and I wouldn't be here today. I write this comment from my bed after being allowed home from the hospital and told to take everything slow. Now I've never been religious, but last night just after I collapsed and started to fear for my life, guess what I did? I started praying for the first time in my life. I started speaking to God and asking him to give me one more shot. I promised that if I was granted this that I would live a better life. I promised that if he saved me, I would be a good man and try to pay him back for saving me. I promised that I would be a better partner, brother, son and friend. I asked, just please, get me through this, I beg, and I'll live like you want me to. Give me another shot. So, I woke up around 8 hours ago, and I just knew that I was given a second chance by God. I knew it. I could feel it. I sat outside, on the grass, looking at the sun, feeling the grass on my body and the wind on my face.. and I just started crying. I haven't cried in years. I started crying and a wave of peace just descended over my body. I was free. I am free. I am free of cocaine. I felt at that moment, 8 hours ago, as if the cocaine/addiction that was chained and padlocked to my soul, in that moment, the padlock broke! The chains snapped off and I could breathe!!! It is simply NOT attached to me any more! I was and am, no longer suffocated by needing the drug. I honestly can not believe it. This is the first day in I don't know how long that I haven't touched it. Before today, I would need to take it to even leave the house, to go to work, to go to social events, to do absolutely anything I panicked because I NEEDED it. Now, I honestly can't explain the excitement of going places without it. The happiness and peace I feel is like nothing I've ever known and I just know, deep down in my soul, that I'm free! I will never touch that substance again. I can't. I was saved under the promise that I wouldn't. Even writing this I'm so emotional. I feel like I'm a new person, reborn or something. I feel excited to talk to people, excited to live life again. What used to be clouds and darkness everyday, all of a sudden feels like the brightest, most glorious future every day from now😍. Rain feels amazing. The wind is beautiful on my skin again. The sun is glorious. I feel like everything is just so much better. Anyway, long story short, you're not alone. The next time you're feeling down or alone, comment here and I'll reply. You will do this my friend, we'll both do it❤
@@Mehoyboi Very true, he did have Neon on. However, when watching it, its clearly hes trying to father this lost young man, just trying to save him. Shows just how with God he is
That’s God in him. I’ve been a long time follower of him. He’s never been so geared into his purpose. We are watching a man IRL being used by Christ himself and that’s beautiful
Requesting some prayer from the Christian community. Starting my own Christian podcast this week with 2 of my school friends and I'm quite nervous for the whole thing. We've already setup the location and the equipment and all we have left to do is record our first episode. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will work through me and things will go according to God's plan. Thank you.
Lord we love and praise you always. We thank you for inspiring this wonderful person who wants to be a light in the world for you. Turn their anxiety into excitement, and full of joy, one of the gifts of your holy spirit. Let them consult you before every podcast for your message and to praise you after each podcast. May they grow in your wisdom and grow in their faith and trust in you always In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen ♥️ ✝️ 🙏
Drop the link 😊 lord Jesus bless this podcast that it will bring you glory and that the world can hear your word and be saved from the darkness in this world
In Jesus name I pray for God’s Spirit to move through this podcast. I pray blessing and favor, as well as peace and guidance over it all. Please keep this person in your will. In Jesus name, Amen. :)
George, I don't think it's right to tell Russell that because he was so great in the movie industry, he's supposed to stay in the industry and be a light and that his reasons for retreating out of it are fear based. If that logic were a formula to knowing God's will, Paul would've remained where he was and been a light to the jewish pharisees and teachers of the law - of whom he was formerly one of the greatest. Instead, he was called away from the place where he was "great" and sent to be a messenger of the gospel to gentile nations, which expanded "the room" that light was shining in. It's honestly a great reminder to me that in this upside down kingdom of God, insight and understanding don't come by how much time you've been a part of the faith, but that "We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us."
Yeah, I’m with you. Paul said that he retreated for 3 years into the Arabian desert to learn from Christ. I think there would be an even greater impact if these Christian celebrities stepped down from their public platform and spent 3 years with Christ.
@@JeepnJesusFreak Yeah, specially since he's such a fresh convert and is in need of deepening his own connection with Our Lord first. It didn't look for me like fear either. It looks more like prudence. I think we must be very careful when we tell someone what we think they should do, specially if they didn't ask for advice. I think the best thing for everyone is to become like that little child the gospel invites us to be, and place everything in God's hands, and trust that He'll take care of everything, instead of trying to solve some issue just by ourselves, as if pushing Him aside. And He'll show us the way and start drop ping things on our lap, making it very clear what's the path we wants us to go, when it's unclear. I thank God that Russell had been praying and meditating, so this way he'll always get discernment before taking important steps. And it's also good to take some distance from Hollywood, at least for the time being, I believe, because it's a very noisy industry. And God likes to speak to us in silence, specially if we take time alone with Him, that allows us to pay attention to His voice inside of us. I hope he found a spiritual director. Things are progressing so fast inside of him... I think he might be already living in the Divine Will.
After Russell saw JD Vance, my husband called Russell’s name and he talked with us on the street. He was so kind and gave us tickets for his show the next night. Little did he know how much we needed a nigh together. We enjoyed the show, thanks Russell!
@@charles_prestonelaborate? I got the sense something was off during this interview. He had a weird look in his eye at one point. But im just a stupid human who doesnt know much. Please elaborate
I just started reading the book of Acts THIS MORNING because i felt like God was leading me to read it. Now you both are talking about Paul in the very beginning of the video and about actually taking the time to read the bible and understand it like I am trying to do now. The ways this parallels my life lately is blowing my mind and God is truly working through you both
Me too; same exact boat, and there's a lot of us. I need to do better at studying it. Im going yo re read it, but i was reading acts earlier in the week, and it just wasn't resonating, but i felt like i was being led to read it. Is there anything you do to help study and understand what you're reading?
My church just finished the book of Acts if you want more to go along with your reading. They put the sermons here on TH-cam in their playlist.. Canyon hills. I think you’ll enjoy them 😊
@@JaydenLolagneuse an online commentary while you read. I use enduring word with David Guzik the most, blue letter Bible, and logos app for definitions of words. I follow heart dive 365 here on TH-cam which is a bible study. We are currently in Isaiah though reading chronologically.
its actually the only one I watch weekly.. even the last dude, i didnt know who he was, and honestly didnt care much for him in general but you can tell george was getting through to him just enough to plant a seed.. thats why i watch, because george and shauna are as genuine as it gets.
I'm in a situation right now in which I have been unjustifiably wronged and I've been struggling with some resentment. Thank you for reminding me that I need to have grace for my brothers and forgive. Praise the Lord.
Towards the end of the conversation they start asking Russell about acting…Russell is doing far more good doing what he’s doing now, than any actor (with the exception of the chosen actors) Acting would be taking a step backwards. I think it’s not even just about getting sucked into the darkness or whatever- but it’s not really his path. Russell doesn’t need to “act” someone else’s material when he can live his own scenes and share that daily with millions of people.
exactly!! He is doing a better job being himself and letting the glory of God shine through him with the transformation he's going through, rather than abandoning Russel and playing another character
I always admire how intelligent Russell is. The way he speaks and his vocabulary is impressive. Mostly I love his attention to detail to whom he's speaking with. I love that he respects everyone and acknowledges their presence as a whole. He doesn't leave anyone out and includes the room with eye contact. His communication and speaking is next level. One to really watch and learn from!
P.s. Great guests brotha, happy for you and the traction you have been getting. Proud of you brotha you deserve it! Don't lose yourself and you have a great woman! Keep that circle tight!
Indeed. Very polished person. Many, like myself, didn't see the means to improve my vocabulary and articulation after a certain point. God's placed me in a position at work now where I'm forced to apply myself in those areas more. I'm grateful and growing slowly. It takes a lot of intentional growth and practice to improve, such as learning when to stop speaking and truly listen to people etc. The best communicators are great listeners which you can see Russell has both qualities.
"Broken like a vase but also broken like a wild horse that needed to be tamed"" is such an awesome way to look at it,, have never though of it like that ❤❤AMAZING
Russell, thank you so so much for all that you have and are sharing. I’ve been a Christian for 2 yrs now, and I’ve been finding it so hard to feel on fire as of late. I’ve been feeling and seeing a lot of legalism in church lately, and it has really been snuffing out that flame. But to be reminded of my own sanctification in seeing how much you are changed and are STILL changing, what a blessing! So many Christians fall prey to the “holier than thou” attitude, and it is disheartening. I truly needed to hear the words you spoke in this interview
Hi Samantha. I understand. I'm still learning to make Jesus Christ the point of focus, not to get distracted or put off by man or men/women. I'm learning that if I put my hope in any man/woman, church, I'll get disappointed 100 out of 100 times. All the best to you. David in Kentucky
amen! I am less than a year into my faith i am feeling a little bitter towards the Christians I partnered with at the start of my faith who led me down the path of legalism and feeling like i need to work at something myself. I finally am starting to feel the FREEDOM in Christ - no condemnation - but I do notice that I have unforgiveness for those that are more mature in their faith and didn't/don't embody this yet themselves
Reading St. John today. I've been avoiding the Bible and prefer docs or movies, but it's time to delve into it - all part of the journey with God. Thanks for the inspiration!
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written. Once you start, it's hard to read anything else. No other book can compare. While you read it, keep in mind that it was not written as one book. It was written throughout history, by different people inspired & anointed by God. Some of those people didn't even know each other. The stories and the lessons speak to the reader, as if their own father were telling them stories from their past that are still relevant to them today. One of my favorite things to look for are moments in the Old Testament where Jesus shows up. It's easy to gloss over those parts when you don't know they are there, or are not looking for Him. He shows up from the beginning...Genesis 3:8 King James Version 8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. They heard the VOICE of the Lord God walking in the garden...How can a voice walk? Well, John 1 tells us... John 1 King James Version 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. And then if we go back to Genesis 1... King James Version 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. So here we learn that the Spirit of God was also present at the beginning. Now when God spoke with His Voice and created Light, before he created the sun, stars, or moon. The Light He first created was a different Light. A Light that was the Life & Light of men. A Light that shines in the darkness, that the darkness cannot comprehend. No other collection of writings spread out across thousands of years can do that! Enjoy the journey of reading the Truth & the Word of God. No movie could possible convey to you what this book can & will.
I have spent the last 6 months seeking the Lord, dedicating each day to reading, learning, and listening to sermons. What I cherish most about this conversation is that it began with discussing God, the only conversation that truly matters to me. Thank you, George, for steering the dialogue in that direction ❤
That's amazing. That's truly all that matters once we stop feeding into the trap of self-indulgence. His will is all that matters because we are ultimately in his hands. I always remind myself of John 7:18 which says, "he who speaks for himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is upon him."
When you started your 6 months did you already have any sort of a belief in Jesus or did you go into it without any emotional attachment but then later got it?
Please talk about Jordan Peterson being a false prophet, and being the guru in a suit trying to secularize our faith? He is a ravenous wolf dressed in sheep's clothing.
I have watched Russells via his early career at MTV etc and over his lifetime. It is heart warming to see his journey unfold and to bear witness to his life today. Sending love and respect to the wonderful gifted man he is. May , God continue to bless him
I lost my son to brain cancer 10 years ago. He was 6 years and 9 days old. Bless this man. I can totally relate. 🙏 prayers for all of you. This was a beautiful talk
Loved this interview but I think the reason Russell doesn't or shouldn't bother with acting is simple... hearing him speak his own words, and not the words of a script, is pure gold. The world needs his wisdom unfiltered and straight from his mouth 🙌🏼
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. What could he do in Hollywood that he can't do now except regurgitate a script for a camera for the masses? I feel like it ended off a little awkwardly bc of that conversation. It reminded me of a part of the interview with Mike, although I can't remember what it was George was trying to get Mike to do. They all have the same Holy Spirit in them so I'm sure if Russell/Mike felt directed in that way, they would do it. And sometimes it's just about timing and God preparing them for something specific.
Yes, I agree with you, but...whenever there is a bit of awkwardness or uncomfortableness in a situation, it means you need to look closer. I think "Hollywood" is a way that darkness captures the imagination, just like disney said they were doing. If you notice how many people do not read anymore and make movies in their head while reading, you can see that movies make the imagination lazy until people just don't have enough imagination muscle to think for themselves. However, if God inspires and anoints a script writer in order to reach those people who cannot think anymore, then it could be used to peak their curiosity enough to start thinking and searching for truth outside of manipulated and controlled narrative that has lulled them to sleep. Russel's idea of a different or independent media is really the only way to go with this kind of media, because from the inception of Hollywood, its purpose was rotten to the core. It was built to do what it does and cannot be changed from its foundation. But if God wanted to use that media to undo, unlock, or break the spell that has been placed upon those who have been trained to think within that box, He can. He will always meet people where they are, and then draw them near to Him. I think Russel, doesn't necessarily rule out the idea, but in this season of life, it's not for him. It doesn't ever need to be for him ever again. People need to stop being entertained, and stop making idols out of humans. It's like we're asking actors to be our golden calf.
I think Russel have never been better than when he started podcasting. it's refreshing to listen to Russell expressing his views on whats going on in our world. This man is so gifted with charisma and speech that most famous people look boring compared to him. Glad he's on the right side spiritually now.
I think I agree with Russell on this one. Just because you have a gift, doesn't mean God wants you to use it for him. If someone is really good at pole dancing, it doesn't mean that all of a sudden you will be a Christian pole dancer. It would be best to pick up your cross and follow him, and that might be somewhere your skills may not be usable.
Yes. Especially if you have been in such a dark place, I don’t believe God will always put you straight back into the same world you were in before. Russel has seen stuff at a level many haven’t.
Conversely, He can take your skills and use them for His purposes. Pole dancing requires coordination, strength, body awareness, and graceful movement. In fact, it originates in the circus and is not intended to be sexual. So the Lord can take all those skills and transfer them into the destiny that He wrote for you to begin with. Secondly, when someone has been steeped in the knowledge of the kingdom of darkness, their ability to discern that realm is potentially very high and they may be called to testify into those dark corners and do the work of God to pull others up out of it. It's not really up to any of us to decide, that's between God and that person (and whomever else God chooses to include).
George! I used to love that quote too but then I read Paul asking for prayer that he would even open his mouth! Eph. 6:18, 19, “Praying always with all prayer for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.” Speak the gospel every day with words and action, always, it is always necessary.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Can't be grateful and anxious at same time. Incredible how anxious our society is today and it's as if a spread of a plague. The power of gratefulness will be equally power of impacting if people would mediate on the grace God has bestowed in their lives and content with what they have now.
“A real Christian is someone who’s humble enough to know his own sin and needs God’s grace & forgiveness - not someone who walks around with a holier than thou mentality.” Truth! In Jesus Name 👆🙏🏻
Notice how in the first half of the podcast, Russel started off speaking rather more slowly, prolonging his stories. And once halfway in, the atmosphere had lightened up due to Shawna’s genuine expressions at Russel. This seemingly made Russel turn back to his comedic self, acknowledging her along the way. Now halfway through the podcast, Russel ends up speaking at his normal bombastic voice. Also, during George’s interpretations to Russel, it can be seen that Russel feels like he is being entirely understood. George was almost acting like he his therapist. George has an exceptional way of picking apart a person in order to bring a bigger picture to light. He is definitely better at forming straightforward conclusions whereas Russel tends to sidetrack with his expansive vocabulary whilst thinking out loud in the process. Russel is an intuitive much like George is, which is why they agree with so many things in this podcast. Russel listens to George in complete awe that comes with George’s knowledge about God and he will definitely continue learn so much more. This is also how George was able to make Andrew Tate think about himself that he never did before. The power and wisdom of God absolutely shines and was shared in that room. Way to go George, this is how you spread the good message! Also glad Shawna is confident to share her summaries and questions in the podcast too.
This conversation has single handedly changed my walk in faith, "don't forget that the teacher is quite when you're under a test" hit home and now I understand and know he doesn't stay quite forever. Thank you three for such and inspirational conversation.
I appreciate the sentiment of the rest of your comment, but take a moment to think what exactly is in any way holy about excrement/feces? Please examine the language you use, for in our words lie the power of life and death. To pair the word Holy with anything that is unholy isn't of God. I say this out of love. If it is not in fact holy, do not call it so. I say this out of love. Please be more careful with the wording you chose. I realise your username contains the word demon, I urge you to contemplate more deeply why you chose that for yourself?
@Christ_Is_King34 Hey, I fully comprehend where you're coming from. However I can tell you that approach will never work. It goes without saying that feces aren't Holy. Saying the word demon doesn't give them any more power than saying Joe Biden, so truly I feel sad for you. I say this out of love, but those who have power over you have so because YOU hand it over. I am not calling upon Satan himself and bathing in the name demon, it's a silly joke about a toaster. I say this out of love, but Jesus probably liked a few funny ha has every now and again too.
When Russell was detailing his experience with his infant son, I got such deep revelation from the Holy Spirit regarding suffering. I always looked at it just as an opportunity to endure. I never approached it as an opportunity to for God to stretch me. Suffering allows me to widen my capacity to love, to be patient, generous, hopeful and faithful. Would they have increased without suffering? Knowing myself, probably not. While I still don't enjoy suffering, I will meditate on how I can still find joy in these opportunities to increase my capacity for all these godly traits. Thank you Russell!
“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5
Wow! Russell....... you have gotten further in your journey with Christ in the short time that you have proclaimed Him as your Savior than many of us who have been on this journey for years. Keep going and never give up no matter what comes at you.
So many deep things intertwining in this conversation, I can relate in so many areas of my own experience, so crazy. Loved the bit about the teacher is quiet when you are taking the test and also the daily bread being necessary and sufficient for each new day, coupled with His daily bread being new every day scripture says His mercies are new every morning, so there is this necessity for us, if we have sinned, receive His mercy again every morning and know every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven the children of men. Also Russell is deeeeeeeeeep, when he said the bit about our realities being torn like the veil in the temple and when the nurse gave him the diagnoses and him asking if we are ever going back to that normal like we had before. I have had several of these world shattering, reality changing things happen to me in my life, especially in the last 11 years as a Christian, never ever would have chosen them, but I am beginning to see a pattern of God taking these reality shattering anxiety causing situations and using them for good in my life. Things that ripped my heart out, changed the course of my life, reduced my ego to zero, all of them, as I wrestle with God, have had a healing recovery process in which character and heart are changed. Oh the necessity of God leveling us and reducing us to nothing, He must chastise us in these ways to annihilate our egos and “reset our factory setting” in a way, bringing us back to fragility and humility, getting us to recognize our deep deep need for His Holy Spirit to raise us up from the “proverbial” dead in the same way Christ was raised. Seems I’ve had many deaths already in this life, but each new resurrection in a sense has served to build character more and more resilient. These deaths in us are a necessity, but not a thing we would ever choose if we saw them ahead of time. Seeking is the answer, in times of prosperity and in times of crisis, we must continue like Peter to say “Lord to whom shall we go, You alone have the words of eternal life”. Through many trials and sufferings we will beginning to see in us, God preparing our hearts for His kingdom. Love you guys keep pressing on. ❤
Russell’s awareness of slipping out of surrender into the flesh to “get” something from the other person is a mark of true sincere desire to surrender; God SO BLESS him!
Awfully short but very, very sweet. Massive guest and its a shame it was cut so short I feel I could listen to you 3 talk for hours about Christ. Another beautiful episode George!
Jesus Christ is unlike the world's system and religion. when you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you are immediately spiritually alive and saved! it's the greatest gift. do not delay, accept that Jesus loves you and died and beat death and covers your wrongdoing with His perfect blood! it's not blind faith, there is more evidence for Jesus than any other person in olden times and He lives!
I love seeing how Russell has expressed his faith and his character seems softened somehow in a lovely way. He has amazing words to articulate faith in a fresh way. It's more touching than boring preachers saying Christian-ese words and trying to look good but end up dry and dull. We all need humility and admitting imperfections in a safe loving family. We need our family of believers to share also the joy of God's love and forgiveness of our wrong-doings. I look forward to seeing his journey. He will touch so many lives for Christ!
Wow. It's like I'm talking. I still fighting with the drug addiction, but I live everyday and feel what iv just listen too. Thank GOD iv found Jesus chirst 🧡
Wow! Everytime I see Russel it is so so inspiring and beautiful and it seems Jesus Christ is really working and molding his heart as we speak! Thank You Jesus! Praise God!
I’ve been praying for Russell for a long time and it’s such a satisfying experience to see prayers being answered. God bless each of you ! Keep shining! Stay the course ❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼
Praise God for all. It is wonderful to see Russel in the path of light. The Lord is going to use him, as the grace of Jesus has used many generations after generations.
Man I love Russell’s ability to articulate his thoughts freely and with clarity. This is a skill and and it isn’t superficial. You can tell it comes from below the surface and it just flows so beautifully. Loved this episode and I love Russell
I’ve watched Russell’s interviews during his struggles and I always thought he was an intellectual. God had His hands on him from the start. Edit: the ending was a nice touch. Jesus was always with him! 😁😁
I feel such joy every time I hear Russell Brand sharing his conversion with us. God bless him🙏 Another tropic. We love Blue Emu for our aches and pains.
These two have put their own relationships with Christ and their journeys of faith on stage for the world to see… they are liable to slip up but the courage to be lights for us all is so appreciated, I just hope we all can appreciate their vulnerability but be prepared for their inevitable missteps and try to be forgiving and supportive rather condemning. Ram Ram
I’m a 20 year old, still feel like a kid tbh and recently found god. This podcast and people like you and Russell help me understand god better. I hope one day I can talk about god in front of an audience like you do. My generation is beginning to turn to Jesus and it’s beautiful, we need you guys ❤
4:50 suddenly my tears drop, i used to hate God and never pray... until something bad happen in my life and I pray to God to save me and He really does. since then I'm a change person.. remember young people out there. HE EXISTED and always listen to us.
New Christians are the best! So much passion and fire. It's inspiring. God forgive me for my complacency. I loved this interview so much! Russell is so gifted with words
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your journey. Watching your growth in your relationship with God and the influence you’ve built has been truly inspiring. The way you’ve opened up about your faith on platforms like the "Impaulsive" podcast has touched so many lives, including mine. It's clear that your dedication to both your spiritual walk and your career is making an impact, and I’m grateful to witness this transformation. I pray that God continues to guide and strengthen you, and that you keep growing in both your relationship with Him and the influence you’re having on the world. Thank you for being such a source of encouragement. I’m excited to see where God leads you next! With gratitude and prayers, Rodolfo Hernandez
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD - thank you. You just made me understand this further. I kept thinking it was about food, which I was thankful for but you saying: “every day has its own problems and I should stay focused on them” - that’s what I was looking for in this line of the Our Father🙏
Of all people, Russell Brand just held up a mirror to my face. God has been telling me plain and simple what my problems are, daily, and I've just been missing the mark. Thank you, God, for Russell. The Kingdom rejoiced when he came around, for sure. Such a baby in the faith, yet so much stronger than I ever thought myself to be. I am so humbled; truly and sincerely humbled. Just wow. Praise God! Thank you, George and Shawna! I needed this ❤
Russle was definitely given a gift from God and he’s now using it to give the gospel to the world..the way he words his ideas is like a he’s painting a picture for us. Great coversation.
I'm rooting so hard for you George! And Russell, I'm enjoying watching you grow in your faith and how you post your thoughts and battles for all of us to grow with you. Keep being real boys!
Wow. I'm just really amazed here at the end. Russell really just has a way with words and I definitely saw the Holy Spirit shining through him at times. This was just so good! At 25:00 he's talking about how we can surrender but don't want to be crushed. It's just so true. We want to surrender to someone who will lift us up, not break us down. But we need to be broken in order for God to heal and restore! It's by his grace and his powers alone!
I love how bright all of you are shining your light. Encourages me to always do the same. Jesus saved me from depression and addiction to numbing my pain and gave me a peace and happiness that is beyond understanding and I want everyone to feel this peace. Thank you RUSSELL and George and all of you reading this Love you ALL ❤
George, though I’ve disagreed with you on some things I am in awe of how much you are SAVING young ones out there. You are single handedly a media superstar. You should be SO proud of yourself, with the way you talk, the guests you have, and the challenges you’ve been through. Amen. I have tears in my eyes right now.
@@danielreeb1203how insincere. You haven’t asked this out of love or concern. Do you think you sit on the right hand of judgment here or would the Lord write in sand to you too?
@@freedomramage5241 everyone treats him like he’s a great Christian role model when he does mental gymnastics in order to justify sleeping with his fiancé. Something you’re missing after he wrote in the sand is that Jesus said “go and sin no more”. He didn’t say “keep living in sin”
@@freedomramage5241 before you pull out the whole you can’t judge other’s as Christian let me presumptively address that. Matthew 7:1-5 Judging Others [1] “Judge not, that you be not judged. [2] For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. [3] Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? [4] Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. I’m not sleeping with my fiancé so I have no log in my eye. You are able to righteously judge.
This was one of THE best godly conversations I have listened to. THANK YOU! Russell's sanctification journey is such a testament to God's goodness. You can see the light of the Holy Spirit in him!! And George - such wisdom and humility in this conversation!
Are you all married yet? I love your content, I see and hear your faith and passion. I am with Ruslan, you will be a greater testimony when obedient in all things. Getting married is a big thing. Saying all of this in love. Watching Russell grow in his faith has been amazing.
I screamed!! George, you did so much more than start your own podcast. You escaped the trap that is LA and all the people you've encountered since then are BIG PROOF of what you continuously say. You KNOW THIS ALREADY. But you were SAVED from Hollywood. ❤❤❤
I genuinely enjoyed this episode so much (as I have every other episode I've seen), but Russell always brings such a rare scope of vulnerability, truth, & openess, wrapped with beautiful poetry, as Belle said. But he's poetic naturally, not in a show-off, sort of know it all way. You 3 together are lovely ❤ what a cool episode.
Great conversation!! Praise God. On the last point though George, I think Russell is making really good points you need to consider. I especially liked how he equated Hollywood with the Pharisees and not the sinners and weak of spirit. That's powerful. Do not be deceived, as the word says, bad company ruins good character.
Personally, I think Russel is spouting wisdom when it comes to his personal relationship with Hollywood and the idealism vs reality of what can happen. It’s also so easy to say that Jesus hung out with all these different kinds of people as an overarching statement, when in reality He asked them to leave their lives behind and follow Him. He was kind, loving, and all of the above to those that were lost, broken, afflicted - but that doesn’t mean He was hanging out or participating with them in their lifestyles.
Wonderful to hear, How amazing to have someone with the awareness and understanding of Russell to explain the love of God. I needed to hear the work of God again. I humble myself again to your Lordship Jesus and the power of your hand.
"when I get there, I'll change it" he is still operating in his efforts, his will, it's a long process most times. He will get more and more of God's strength, through more and more surrender and his mind will be overtaken and God will possibly transform his mind to be able to be in that environment, in God's strength, with God's armor protecting him! God will do it if it's His will, I know exactly how Russell feels, I was there just a couple years ago and now I am eager to enter back in with excitement because I know God will change people there, not me! Praying for you 3! Praise the Lord!!
King David did have the Holy Spirit George. The HS was active in the OT. Psalm 51:11 “Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
What a great conversation between these three. God is working important paths for them and I'm going to continue to pray for Russell, George and Shawna. I'm a huge fan. Much love to you. May the Lord continue to bless you guys.
Wow i didn’t want this interview to end. Its so beautiful to see what the Lord has done with Russel Brand. He truly is poetic and a beautiful soul. Part 2 please
This is such a beautiful interview I'm in tears 😢❤ Russell your conversion to Christ has been beautiful to watch. I pray to one day be able to talk about Jesus with you. I'll be praying for you all in Jesus name 🙏
I like how Russel pushed back on George on the hollywood thing. Too many christians think they are going to save hollywood and end up just becoming one like everyone else.
Some people criticize what they havent or cant accomplish so they villify it and apply the devil to it. The arrogance to tell somebody whos been through it already is insane. Chris pratt, denzel washington, chris tucker and will smith are perfect examples of entertainers in film who do fun family friendly content. But whites and blacks are held to a different standard.
You have no idea how much Joy I feel when I see Christ bring people like Russel to his knowledge. Look at how Christ is also bringing Jordan Peterson to the Knowledge of Christ just trying to find the meaning of life. At the end of it all. It leads to Christ. Thank you Jesus
Russell continually participates in my most favorite interviews of all time, and this is easily one of them. He brings such a childlike joy that I quickly tune into. His happiness is the Holy Spirit, and it is within me! Love!
I am constantly blown away recently by the amount of people I never thought would turn to Jesus , turn to Jesus.
People are seeking the truth and when you meet the truth you cannot deny Him
same man it’s so encouraging
💯💯💯💯
💯💯💯💯
Thank The Lord
Who else??
There aren't many people who can articulate abstract ideas the way Russell Brand can. What a conversation!
His conversation is like a poem ❤
Goshhhhh it’s absolutely commendable. So eloquent
Yes! & more captivating to listen to with the addition of The Holy Spirit, it's beautiful to witness.
Yeah it's a gift from God really ❤
This is the one episode, where I truly feel both parties will truly learn a lot from eachother. They feel like spiritual equals. Guru meets guru.
Nothing more humbling than being a Christian my whole life, and listening to someone who just came to Christ, effortlessly articulate the Christian life with more precision, wisdom and humility than Ive ever been able to
100%
Stop following this phoney! Stop immediately. #InJesusName Amen.
This is why it's good to be around other Christians. It's often the ones that have fallen the farthest that, when they finally let Christ into their heart, have the most clarity about their relationship with Him.
@@SliderFury1 And Russell Brand still has a very long way to go, Amen! #NewAgeToJesus
My exact thoughts
I'm one of those Christians who sees a celebrity turn to christ and I just have nothing but doubt. Seeing this episode of Russel has really opened my eyes and I feel he is sincerely turning to christ and it's humbled me. Thank you to George and Shawna for this episode, and also to Russel brand for being so transparent and genuine.
I would have to agree
Why have doubt? Whose journey is it to faith but theirs and God’s?
@anolds24 Because, unfortunately, it's a human response. Seeing a celebrity formally indulge in worldly things, as we all have done, it's just natural to be sceptical. Anyone pretending not to have some form of doubt is just a liar
I hope so... aa he was so new age before...
I'm glad if he's changed
@@MAPSMAPS1234you look at the lives of so called Christians- stars are not and some are on stage half naked, living with their partners etc. By their works you know them.
ty george ive been in heroin addiction for over 10 years, im back in rehab and im about 15 days clean. my birthdays coming up im happy im here to see it after all the overdoses. God is good.
Happy birthday I’m praying for you
You can do it. Praying for you
Hey man. I just want to say that you aren't alone. Only last night had a bad overdose on cocaine after a long time of addiction, and I was lucky to make it to today. Basically my heart nearly shut down and I collapsed. A few more bumps and I wouldn't be here today. I write this comment from my bed after being allowed home from the hospital and told to take everything slow.
Now I've never been religious, but last night just after I collapsed and started to fear for my life, guess what I did? I started praying for the first time in my life. I started speaking to God and asking him to give me one more shot. I promised that if I was granted this that I would live a better life. I promised that if he saved me, I would be a good man and try to pay him back for saving me. I promised that I would be a better partner, brother, son and friend. I asked, just please, get me through this, I beg, and I'll live like you want me to. Give me another shot.
So, I woke up around 8 hours ago, and I just knew that I was given a second chance by God. I knew it. I could feel it. I sat outside, on the grass, looking at the sun, feeling the grass on my body and the wind on my face.. and I just started crying. I haven't cried in years. I started crying and a wave of peace just descended over my body. I was free. I am free. I am free of cocaine. I felt at that moment, 8 hours ago, as if the cocaine/addiction that was chained and padlocked to my soul, in that moment, the padlock broke! The chains snapped off and I could breathe!!! It is simply NOT attached to me any more! I was and am, no longer suffocated by needing the drug. I honestly can not believe it. This is the first day in I don't know how long that I haven't touched it.
Before today, I would need to take it to even leave the house, to go to work, to go to social events, to do absolutely anything I panicked because I NEEDED it. Now, I honestly can't explain the excitement of going places without it. The happiness and peace I feel is like nothing I've ever known and I just know, deep down in my soul, that I'm free! I will never touch that substance again. I can't. I was saved under the promise that I wouldn't.
Even writing this I'm so emotional. I feel like I'm a new person, reborn or something. I feel excited to talk to people, excited to live life again. What used to be clouds and darkness everyday, all of a sudden feels like the brightest, most glorious future every day from now😍.
Rain feels amazing. The wind is beautiful on my skin again. The sun is glorious. I feel like everything is just so much better.
Anyway, long story short, you're not alone. The next time you're feeling down or alone, comment here and I'll reply. You will do this my friend, we'll both do it❤
Happy birthday! You are loved more than you know. Keep up the good fight! You are never alone.
(Read this on your birthday 😂)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉
GOD BLESS YOU.
Is anyone else shocked every week with how good these guests are?
Not really George a G
Not surprised anymore. Gods using him.
he just recently had neon on.. idk about that.
@@Mehoyboi I am not saying every guest makes good choices, I am saying they are culturally relevant and unexpected
@@Mehoyboi Very true, he did have Neon on. However, when watching it, its clearly hes trying to father this lost young man, just trying to save him. Shows just how with God he is
Wow! Russell is preaching straight to my heart today. Stay in surrender to Jesus, there's nothing to take. Forgive yourself.
Amen! ❤
Amen. Praise God❤
only God can forgive me
Jesus is the truth, the way and the life
Right! My wife and I just started a podcast on reading the bible for the first time, if anyone’s interested :)
Insane how Russell can hold attention so long and it does not feel like he is taking too much. So well spoken and very captivating
Sooo articulate. Luv the dude.
Guru met Guru with this episode.
Frfr
yes! love how you said that!
That’s God in him. I’ve been a long time follower of him. He’s never been so geared into his purpose. We are watching a man IRL being used by Christ himself and that’s beautiful
Seriously!
Requesting some prayer from the Christian community. Starting my own Christian podcast this week with 2 of my school friends and I'm quite nervous for the whole thing. We've already setup the location and the equipment and all we have left to do is record our first episode. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will work through me and things will go according to God's plan. Thank you.
Lord we love and praise you always. We thank you for inspiring this wonderful person who wants to be a light in the world for you. Turn their anxiety into excitement, and full of joy, one of the gifts of your holy spirit. Let them consult you before every podcast for your message and to praise you after each podcast. May they grow in your wisdom and grow in their faith and trust in you always In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen ♥️ ✝️ 🙏

In Jesus name I pray for God’s Spirit to move through this podcast. I pray blessing and favor, as well as peace and guidance over it all. Please keep this person in your will. In Jesus name, Amen. :)
George, I don't think it's right to tell Russell that because he was so great in the movie industry, he's supposed to stay in the industry and be a light and that his reasons for retreating out of it are fear based. If that logic were a formula to knowing God's will, Paul would've remained where he was and been a light to the jewish pharisees and teachers of the law - of whom he was formerly one of the greatest. Instead, he was called away from the place where he was "great" and sent to be a messenger of the gospel to gentile nations, which expanded "the room" that light was shining in.
It's honestly a great reminder to me that in this upside down kingdom of God, insight and understanding don't come by how much time you've been a part of the faith, but that "We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us."
Yeah, I commented on that as well.. I didn’t like that at all.. especially accusing him of being fearful. He needs to stay away from Hollywood.
@@JeepnJesusFreakI think we should enter rooms full of illness and evil. That is our task.
Who is in control? Who is to receive? Who is to give? Who is to let go and let God?
Yeah, I’m with you. Paul said that he retreated for 3 years into the Arabian desert to learn from Christ. I think there would be an even greater impact if these Christian celebrities stepped down from their public platform and spent 3 years with Christ.
@@JeepnJesusFreak Yeah, specially since he's such a fresh convert and is in need of deepening his own connection with Our Lord first. It didn't look for me like fear either. It looks more like prudence. I think we must be very careful when we tell someone what we think they should do, specially if they didn't ask for advice. I think the best thing for everyone is to become like that little child the gospel invites us to be, and place everything in God's hands, and trust that He'll take care of everything, instead of trying to solve some issue just by ourselves, as if pushing Him aside. And He'll show us the way and start drop ping things on our lap, making it very clear what's the path we wants us to go, when it's unclear. I thank God that Russell had been praying and meditating, so this way he'll always get discernment before taking important steps.
And it's also good to take some distance from Hollywood, at least for the time being, I believe, because it's a very noisy industry. And God likes to speak to us in silence, specially if we take time alone with Him, that allows us to pay attention to His voice inside of us. I hope he found a spiritual director. Things are progressing so fast inside of him... I think he might be already living in the Divine Will.
After Russell saw JD Vance, my husband called Russell’s name and he talked with us on the street. He was so kind and gave us tickets for his show the next night. Little did he know how much we needed a nigh together. We enjoyed the show, thanks Russell!
❤
No problem mate
Brand has no humility, nada.
@@charles_prestonhumility is more than a veneer of meekness
@@charles_prestonelaborate? I got the sense something was off during this interview. He had a weird look in his eye at one point. But im just a stupid human who doesnt know much. Please elaborate
I just started reading the book of Acts THIS MORNING because i felt like God was leading me to read it. Now you both are talking about Paul in the very beginning of the video and about actually taking the time to read the bible and understand it like I am trying to do now. The ways this parallels my life lately is blowing my mind and God is truly working through you both
ACTS is soooo good!!! ✝️🔥✝️🔥✝️🔥
Me too; same exact boat, and there's a lot of us. I need to do better at studying it. Im going yo re read it, but i was reading acts earlier in the week, and it just wasn't resonating, but i felt like i was being led to read it. Is there anything you do to help study and understand what you're reading?
My church just finished the book of Acts if you want more to go along with your reading. They put the sermons here on TH-cam in their playlist.. Canyon hills. I think you’ll enjoy them 😊
@@JaydenLolagneuse an online commentary while you read. I use enduring word with David Guzik the most, blue letter Bible, and logos app for definitions of words. I follow heart dive 365 here on TH-cam which is a bible study. We are currently in Isaiah though reading chronologically.
May God bless your beautiful, unique Journey!
This podcast is becoming my favorite to listen to all of his guests are excellent
Not all of them 💀
its actually the only one I watch weekly.. even the last dude, i didnt know who he was, and honestly didnt care much for him in general but you can tell george was getting through to him just enough to plant a seed.. thats why i watch, because george and shauna are as genuine as it gets.
George is just shy of 51k subscribers away from being more followed than Mike Majlak. Mike is at 2.77M right now.
@@WhyWorldWet thats cake, 2 months max hes got this!
I'm in a situation right now in which I have been unjustifiably wronged and I've been struggling with some resentment. Thank you for reminding me that I need to have grace for my brothers and forgive. Praise the Lord.
Towards the end of the conversation they start asking Russell about acting…Russell is doing far more good doing what he’s doing now, than any actor (with the exception of the chosen actors) Acting would be taking a step backwards. I think it’s not even just about getting sucked into the darkness or whatever- but it’s not really his path. Russell doesn’t need to “act” someone else’s material when he can live his own scenes and share that daily with millions of people.
Well said
exactly!! He is doing a better job being himself and letting the glory of God shine through him with the transformation he's going through, rather than abandoning Russel and playing another character
39:27 is such a beautiful moment when she says amen and Russel gives her such a beautiful look of sincerity
Without context his look gives off a different vibe
@@Mike-Ironssame thing I thought. Without context it seemed like he was sarcastically almost annoyed by her. Thats why context matters!
oh this is how sincerity looks like ? I was so confused on what his facial impression is showing. Thank you
@@frightfactoryYT nearly? Bruh, I couldn’t see a dang thing
But Jeshua would never have said amen!
That's paying homage to one of the false gods that he warned about Amun-ra.
25:00 This is quite honestly THE BEST description I have ever heard of Jesus… it actually made me cry.
I always admire how intelligent Russell is. The way he speaks and his vocabulary is impressive. Mostly I love his attention to detail to whom he's speaking with. I love that he respects everyone and acknowledges their presence as a whole. He doesn't leave anyone out and includes the room with eye contact. His communication and speaking is next level. One to really watch and learn from!
P.s. Great guests brotha, happy for you and the traction you have been getting. Proud of you brotha you deserve it! Don't lose yourself and you have a great woman! Keep that circle tight!
Indeed. Very polished person. Many, like myself, didn't see the means to improve my vocabulary and articulation after a certain point. God's placed me in a position at work now where I'm forced to apply myself in those areas more. I'm grateful and growing slowly. It takes a lot of intentional growth and practice to improve, such as learning when to stop speaking and truly listen to people etc. The best communicators are great listeners which you can see Russell has both qualities.
"Broken like a vase but also broken like a wild horse that needed to be tamed"" is such an awesome way to look at it,, have never though of it like that
❤❤AMAZING
Russell, thank you so so much for all that you have and are sharing. I’ve been a Christian for 2 yrs now, and I’ve been finding it so hard to feel on fire as of late. I’ve been feeling and seeing a lot of legalism in church lately, and it has really been snuffing out that flame. But to be reminded of my own sanctification in seeing how much you are changed and are STILL changing, what a blessing! So many Christians fall prey to the “holier than thou” attitude, and it is disheartening. I truly needed to hear the words you spoke in this interview
Hi Samantha. I understand. I'm still learning to make Jesus Christ the point of focus, not to get distracted or put off by man or men/women. I'm learning that if I put my hope in any man/woman, church, I'll get disappointed 100 out of 100 times. All the best to you. David in Kentucky
Focus on faith and not church - too different things
amen! I am less than a year into my faith i am feeling a little bitter towards the Christians I partnered with at the start of my faith who led me down the path of legalism and feeling like i need to work at something myself. I finally am starting to feel the FREEDOM in Christ - no condemnation - but I do notice that I have unforgiveness for those that are more mature in their faith and didn't/don't embody this yet themselves
Reading St. John today. I've been avoiding the Bible and prefer docs or movies, but it's time to delve into it - all part of the journey with God. Thanks for the inspiration!
The Bible is the most amazing book ever written. Once you start, it's hard to read anything else. No other book can compare. While you read it, keep in mind that it was not written as one book. It was written throughout history, by different people inspired & anointed by God. Some of those people didn't even know each other. The stories and the lessons speak to the reader, as if their own father were telling them stories from their past that are still relevant to them today. One of my favorite things to look for are moments in the Old Testament where Jesus shows up. It's easy to gloss over those parts when you don't know they are there, or are not looking for Him. He shows up from the beginning...Genesis 3:8
King James Version
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
They heard the VOICE of the Lord God walking in the garden...How can a voice walk? Well, John 1 tells us...
John 1
King James Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
And then if we go back to Genesis 1...
King James Version
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
So here we learn that the Spirit of God was also present at the beginning. Now when God spoke with His Voice and created Light, before he created the sun, stars, or moon. The Light He first created was a different Light. A Light that was the Life & Light of men. A Light that shines in the darkness, that the darkness cannot comprehend.
No other collection of writings spread out across thousands of years can do that! Enjoy the journey of reading the Truth & the Word of God. No movie could possible convey to you what this book can & will.
Can I please suggest the Bible Project? They have podcasts and videos that have helped me understand the Bible like never before 🙂
I have spent the last 6 months seeking the Lord, dedicating each day to reading, learning, and listening to sermons. What I cherish most about this conversation is that it began with discussing God, the only conversation that truly matters to me. Thank you, George, for steering the dialogue in that direction ❤
That's amazing. That's truly all that matters once we stop feeding into the trap of self-indulgence. His will is all that matters because we are ultimately in his hands. I always remind myself of John 7:18 which says, "he who speaks for himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is upon him."
When you started your 6 months did you already have any sort of a belief in Jesus or did you go into it without any emotional attachment but then later got it?
Well done on your success George. This one will be enjoyable to watch.
He gets crazy interviews..I think mainly because there isn’t crazy production side behind him with trials & tribulations
Please talk about Jordan Peterson being a false prophet, and being the guru in a suit trying to secularize our faith? He is a ravenous wolf dressed in sheep's clothing.
God blessed him with so many great guests
I have watched Russells via his early career at MTV etc and over his lifetime. It is heart warming to see his journey unfold and to bear witness to his life today. Sending love and respect to the wonderful gifted man he is. May , God continue to bless him
I lost my son to brain cancer 10 years ago. He was 6 years and 9 days old. Bless this man. I can totally relate. 🙏 prayers for all of you. This was a beautiful talk
Im praying for you brother
Praise Jesus that you have Him to lean on through that experience... I honestly don't know how people do this life without Christ...
i will pray for you this morning. ❤🙏
Loved this interview but I think the reason Russell doesn't or shouldn't bother with acting is simple... hearing him speak his own words, and not the words of a script, is pure gold. The world needs his wisdom unfiltered and straight from his mouth 🙌🏼
Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. What could he do in Hollywood that he can't do now except regurgitate a script for a camera for the masses? I feel like it ended off a little awkwardly bc of that conversation. It reminded me of a part of the interview with Mike, although I can't remember what it was George was trying to get Mike to do. They all have the same Holy Spirit in them so I'm sure if Russell/Mike felt directed in that way, they would do it. And sometimes it's just about timing and God preparing them for something specific.
yes
Yep… he’s seen that world and doesn’t want to go back. I think Russell has a lot more wisdom in that regard
Yes, I agree with you, but...whenever there is a bit of awkwardness or uncomfortableness in a situation, it means you need to look closer. I think "Hollywood" is a way that darkness captures the imagination, just like disney said they were doing. If you notice how many people do not read anymore and make movies in their head while reading, you can see that movies make the imagination lazy until people just don't have enough imagination muscle to think for themselves. However, if God inspires and anoints a script writer in order to reach those people who cannot think anymore, then it could be used to peak their curiosity enough to start thinking and searching for truth outside of manipulated and controlled narrative that has lulled them to sleep. Russel's idea of a different or independent media is really the only way to go with this kind of media, because from the inception of Hollywood, its purpose was rotten to the core. It was built to do what it does and cannot be changed from its foundation. But if God wanted to use that media to undo, unlock, or break the spell that has been placed upon those who have been trained to think within that box, He can. He will always meet people where they are, and then draw them near to Him. I think Russel, doesn't necessarily rule out the idea, but in this season of life, it's not for him. It doesn't ever need to be for him ever again. People need to stop being entertained, and stop making idols out of humans. It's like we're asking actors to be our golden calf.
I think Russel have never been better than when he started podcasting. it's refreshing to listen to Russell expressing his views on whats going on in our world. This man is so gifted with charisma and speech that most famous people look boring compared to him. Glad he's on the right side spiritually now.
I agree I want to know when we will get voice of reason or Sam shamoun 😅
I think I agree with Russell on this one. Just because you have a gift, doesn't mean God wants you to use it for him. If someone is really good at pole dancing, it doesn't mean that all of a sudden you will be a Christian pole dancer. It would be best to pick up your cross and follow him, and that might be somewhere your skills may not be usable.
Yes. Especially if you have been in such a dark place, I don’t believe God will always put you straight back into the same world you were in before. Russel has seen stuff at a level many haven’t.
True! @@roseroyaltyy
Conversely, He can take your skills and use them for His purposes. Pole dancing requires coordination, strength, body awareness, and graceful movement. In fact, it originates in the circus and is not intended to be sexual. So the Lord can take all those skills and transfer them into the destiny that He wrote for you to begin with.
Secondly, when someone has been steeped in the knowledge of the kingdom of darkness, their ability to discern that realm is potentially very high and they may be called to testify into those dark corners and do the work of God to pull others up out of it. It's not really up to any of us to decide, that's between God and that person (and whomever else God chooses to include).
I think he also recognizes that it could be a huge temptation for him again, and he really wants to flee temptation! Good on him.
Yes completely well said,
George! I used to love that quote too but then I read Paul asking for prayer that he would even open his mouth! Eph. 6:18, 19, “Praying always with all prayer for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.”
Speak the gospel every day with words and action, always, it is always necessary.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
Big thanks to Ms. Susan Jane Christy❤️✨💯 May God bless Christy Fiore services,she have changed thousands of lives globally
How can I start this digital market, any guidelines and how can I reach out to her?
Can't be grateful and anxious at same time. Incredible how anxious our society is today and it's as if a spread of a plague. The power of gratefulness will be equally power of impacting if people would mediate on the grace God has bestowed in their lives and content with what they have now.
“A real Christian is someone who’s humble enough to know his own sin and needs God’s grace & forgiveness - not someone who walks around with a holier than thou mentality.” Truth! In Jesus Name 👆🙏🏻
Yes humility is a very important fruit of the spirit. Understanding our place relative to the great I Am and seeing ourselves how he sees us. ❤
Notice how in the first half of the podcast, Russel started off speaking rather more slowly, prolonging his stories. And once halfway in, the atmosphere had lightened up due to Shawna’s genuine expressions at Russel. This seemingly made Russel turn back to his comedic self, acknowledging her along the way. Now halfway through the podcast, Russel ends up speaking at his normal bombastic voice. Also, during George’s interpretations to Russel, it can be seen that Russel feels like he is being entirely understood. George was almost acting like he his therapist. George has an exceptional way of picking apart a person in order to bring a bigger picture to light. He is definitely better at forming straightforward conclusions whereas Russel tends to sidetrack with his expansive vocabulary whilst thinking out loud in the process. Russel is an intuitive much like George is, which is why they agree with so many things in this podcast. Russel listens to George in complete awe that comes with George’s knowledge about God and he will definitely continue learn so much more. This is also how George was able to make Andrew Tate think about himself that he never did before. The power and wisdom of God absolutely shines and was shared in that room. Way to go George, this is how you spread the good message! Also glad Shawna is confident to share her summaries and questions in the podcast too.
In short, well said.
The Lord truly shines through him
This conversation has single handedly changed my walk in faith, "don't forget that the teacher is quite when you're under a test" hit home and now I understand and know he doesn't stay quite forever. Thank you three for such and inspirational conversation.
When was this said?!
I can't help but see 3 best friends hanging out. Holy crap I am blown away by how relaxed and joyful Russel is with you two and your crew!
I appreciate the sentiment of the rest of your comment, but take a moment to think what exactly is in any way holy about excrement/feces? Please examine the language you use, for in our words lie the power of life and death. To pair the word Holy with anything that is unholy isn't of God. I say this out of love. If it is not in fact holy, do not call it so. I say this out of love. Please be more careful with the wording you chose. I realise your username contains the word demon, I urge you to contemplate more deeply why you chose that for yourself?
@Christ_Is_King34 Hey, I fully comprehend where you're coming from. However I can tell you that approach will never work. It goes without saying that feces aren't Holy. Saying the word demon doesn't give them any more power than saying Joe Biden, so truly I feel sad for you. I say this out of love, but those who have power over you have so because YOU hand it over. I am not calling upon Satan himself and bathing in the name demon, it's a silly joke about a toaster. I say this out of love, but Jesus probably liked a few funny ha has every now and again too.
When Russell was detailing his experience with his infant son, I got such deep revelation from the Holy Spirit regarding suffering. I always looked at it just as an opportunity to endure. I never approached it as an opportunity to for God to stretch me. Suffering allows me to widen my capacity to love, to be patient, generous, hopeful and faithful. Would they have increased without suffering? Knowing myself, probably not. While I still don't enjoy suffering, I will meditate on how I can still find joy in these opportunities to increase my capacity for all these godly traits. Thank you Russell!
“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5
@@bettycute14 yeah! I didn't get that verse until he shared his testimony. I'm so happy because it's like a new level unlocked
Wow! Russell....... you have gotten further in your journey with Christ in the short time that you have proclaimed Him as your Savior than many of us who have been on this journey for years. Keep going and never give up no matter what comes at you.
So many deep things intertwining in this conversation, I can relate in so many areas of my own experience, so crazy. Loved the bit about the teacher is quiet when you are taking the test and also the daily bread being necessary and sufficient for each new day, coupled with His daily bread being new every day scripture says His mercies are new every morning, so there is this necessity for us, if we have sinned, receive His mercy again every morning and know every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven the children of men. Also Russell is deeeeeeeeeep, when he said the bit about our realities being torn like the veil in the temple and when the nurse gave him the diagnoses and him asking if we are ever going back to that normal like we had before. I have had several of these world shattering, reality changing things happen to me in my life, especially in the last 11 years as a Christian, never ever would have chosen them, but I am beginning to see a pattern of God taking these reality shattering anxiety causing situations and using them for good in my life. Things that ripped my heart out, changed the course of my life, reduced my ego to zero, all of them, as I wrestle with God, have had a healing recovery process in which character and heart are changed. Oh the necessity of God leveling us and reducing us to nothing, He must chastise us in these ways to annihilate our egos and “reset our factory setting” in a way, bringing us back to fragility and humility, getting us to recognize our deep deep need for His Holy Spirit to raise us up from the “proverbial” dead in the same way Christ was raised. Seems I’ve had many deaths already in this life, but each new resurrection in a sense has served to build character more and more resilient. These deaths in us are a necessity, but not a thing we would ever choose if we saw them ahead of time. Seeking is the answer, in times of prosperity and in times of crisis, we must continue like Peter to say “Lord to whom shall we go, You alone have the words of eternal life”. Through many trials and sufferings we will beginning to see in us, God preparing our hearts for His kingdom. Love you guys keep pressing on. ❤
Russell’s awareness of slipping out of surrender into the flesh to “get” something from the other person is a mark of true sincere desire to surrender; God SO BLESS him!
Woww it's like the Lord has been preparing Russell to be a preacher and now that he's saved, boom! The Holy Spirit speaks through him so beautifully
It's so refreshing to see the new man Russell has become! Same for George!
Awfully short but very, very sweet. Massive guest and its a shame it was cut so short I feel I could listen to you 3 talk for hours about Christ. Another beautiful episode George!
Amen. I feel like even 3 hours would be too short. I hope and pray there will be more interviews with Russell, George and Shawna in the future.
Great episode indeed! My wife and I just started a podcast on reading the bible for the first time, if anyone’s interested, we’d love to have you :)
I am starting to become increasingly interested in Christ and I have to say hearing these conversations makes me hopeful! Thank you
Jesus Christ is unlike the world's system and religion. when you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you are immediately spiritually alive and saved! it's the greatest gift. do not delay, accept that Jesus loves you and died and beat death and covers your wrongdoing with His perfect blood! it's not blind faith, there is more evidence for Jesus than any other person in olden times and He lives!
I love seeing how Russell has expressed his faith and his character seems softened somehow in a lovely way. He has amazing words to articulate faith in a fresh way. It's more touching than boring preachers saying Christian-ese words and trying to look good but end up dry and dull.
We all need humility and admitting imperfections in a safe loving family. We need our family of believers to share also the joy of God's love and forgiveness of our wrong-doings. I look forward to seeing his journey. He will touch so many lives for Christ!
Wow. It's like I'm talking.
I still fighting with the drug addiction, but I live everyday and feel what iv just listen too. Thank GOD iv found Jesus chirst 🧡
❤
Wow! Everytime I see Russel it is so so inspiring and beautiful and it seems Jesus Christ is really working and molding his heart as we speak! Thank You Jesus! Praise God!
“The teacher is always quiet when you’re under a test. 🤯 wow! Just wow! 18:44
Wooh wait what min was that
I’ve been praying for Russell for a long time and it’s such a satisfying experience to see prayers being answered. God bless each of you ! Keep shining! Stay the course ❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼
Praise God for all. It is wonderful to see Russel in the path of light. The Lord is going to use him, as the grace of Jesus has used many generations after generations.
Man I love Russell’s ability to articulate his thoughts freely and with clarity. This is a skill and and it isn’t superficial. You can tell it comes from below the surface and it just flows so beautifully. Loved this episode and I love Russell
I’ve watched Russell’s interviews during his struggles and I always thought he was an intellectual. God had His hands on him from the start. Edit: the ending was a nice touch. Jesus was always with him! 😁😁
This is AMAZING. What an answer to prayer. This man is surrendered. Praise God! What a testimony his life is.
I feel such joy every time I hear Russell Brand sharing his conversion with us. God bless him🙏 Another tropic. We love Blue Emu for our aches and pains.
These two have put their own relationships with Christ and their journeys of faith on stage for the world to see… they are liable to slip up but the courage to be lights for us all is so appreciated, I just hope we all can appreciate their vulnerability but be prepared for their inevitable missteps and try to be forgiving and supportive rather condemning. Ram Ram
I’m a 20 year old, still feel like a kid tbh and recently found god. This podcast and people like you and Russell help me understand god better. I hope one day I can talk about god in front of an audience like you do. My generation is beginning to turn to Jesus and it’s beautiful, we need you guys ❤
The way I smiled through this entire interview… truly heartwarming to watch… you bring out the best in your guests. Really enjoyed this one ☝🏻
4:50 suddenly my tears drop, i used to hate God and never pray... until something bad happen in my life and I pray to God to save me and He really does. since then I'm a change person.. remember young people out there. HE EXISTED and always listen to us.
New Christians are the best! So much passion and fire. It's inspiring. God forgive me for my complacency. I loved this interview so much! Russell is so gifted with words
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your journey. Watching your growth in your relationship with God and the influence you’ve built has been truly inspiring. The way you’ve opened up about your faith on platforms like the "Impaulsive" podcast has touched so many lives, including mine.
It's clear that your dedication to both your spiritual walk and your career is making an impact, and I’m grateful to witness this transformation. I pray that God continues to guide and strengthen you, and that you keep growing in both your relationship with Him and the influence you’re having on the world.
Thank you for being such a source of encouragement. I’m excited to see where God leads you next!
With gratitude and prayers,
Rodolfo Hernandez
very cool george I love the diversity of your guests and their differents views and paths on life
I like Russell's perspective on Hollywood and what he is saying about being careful in that approach.
Your interviews are always so unexpected. It’s so awesome!
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD - thank you. You just made me understand this further. I kept thinking it was about food, which I was thankful for but you saying: “every day has its own problems and I should stay focused on them” - that’s what I was looking for in this line of the Our Father🙏
Of all people, Russell Brand just held up a mirror to my face. God has been telling me plain and simple what my problems are, daily, and I've just been missing the mark. Thank you, God, for Russell. The Kingdom rejoiced when he came around, for sure. Such a baby in the faith, yet so much stronger than I ever thought myself to be. I am so humbled; truly and sincerely humbled. Just wow. Praise God! Thank you, George and Shawna! I needed this ❤
Russle was definitely given a gift from God and he’s now using it to give the gospel to the world..the way he words his ideas is like a he’s painting a picture for us. Great coversation.
Oh Russell, the gift of discernment is evident in you. Praise the Lord for His humility, submission and sacrifice for us.❤
I'm rooting so hard for you George! And Russell, I'm enjoying watching you grow in your faith and how you post your thoughts and battles for all of us to grow with you. Keep being real boys!
I am often brought to tears of joy while listening to Russell speak about God.
Wow. I'm just really amazed here at the end. Russell really just has a way with words and I definitely saw the Holy Spirit shining through him at times. This was just so good!
At 25:00 he's talking about how we can surrender but don't want to be crushed. It's just so true. We want to surrender to someone who will lift us up, not break us down. But we need to be broken in order for God to heal and restore! It's by his grace and his powers alone!
I love how bright all of you are shining your light. Encourages me to always do the same. Jesus saved me from depression and addiction to numbing my pain and gave me a peace and happiness that is beyond understanding and I want everyone to feel this peace. Thank you RUSSELL and George and all of you reading this
Love you ALL ❤
❤
George so grateful for you and the pod!
George, though I’ve disagreed with you on some things I am in awe of how much you are SAVING young ones out there. You are single handedly a media superstar. You should be SO proud of yourself, with the way you talk, the guests you have, and the challenges you’ve been through. Amen. I have tears in my eyes right now.
Thank you so much! To be honest I disagree with some of my past actions too hahaha God willing I keep molding into the man God wants me to be! 😂🥳
@@GeorgeJankoare you still living in sun by sleeping with your fiancé?
@@danielreeb1203how insincere. You haven’t asked this out of love or concern. Do you think you sit on the right hand of judgment here or would the Lord write in sand to you too?
@@freedomramage5241 everyone treats him like he’s a great Christian role model when he does mental gymnastics in order to justify sleeping with his fiancé. Something you’re missing after he wrote in the sand is that Jesus said “go and sin no more”. He didn’t say “keep living in sin”
@@freedomramage5241 before you pull out the whole you can’t judge other’s as Christian let me presumptively address that.
Matthew 7:1-5
Judging Others
[1] “Judge not, that you be not judged. [2] For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. [3] Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? [4] Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? [5] You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
I’m not sleeping with my fiancé so I have no log in my eye. You are able to righteously judge.
16:20 - Matthew 6:33 - my favourite verse in the bible
This was one of THE best godly conversations I have listened to. THANK YOU! Russell's sanctification journey is such a testament to God's goodness. You can see the light of the Holy Spirit in him!! And George - such wisdom and humility in this conversation!
I honestly just love this podcast bro, I feel I can learn so much from any episode. Thank you for what y'all are doing 🙏
Are you all married yet? I love your content, I see and hear your faith and passion. I am with Ruslan, you will be a greater testimony when obedient in all things. Getting married is a big thing.
Saying all of this in love.
Watching Russell grow in his faith has been amazing.
I screamed!! George, you did so much more than start your own podcast. You escaped the trap that is LA and all the people you've encountered since then are BIG PROOF of what you continuously say. You KNOW THIS ALREADY. But you were SAVED from Hollywood. ❤❤❤
I genuinely enjoyed this episode so much (as I have every other episode I've seen), but Russell always brings such a rare scope of vulnerability, truth, & openess, wrapped with beautiful poetry, as Belle said. But he's poetic naturally, not in a show-off, sort of know it all way. You 3 together are lovely ❤ what a cool episode.
Great conversation!! Praise God. On the last point though George, I think Russell is making really good points you need to consider. I especially liked how he equated Hollywood with the Pharisees and not the sinners and weak of spirit. That's powerful. Do not be deceived, as the word says, bad company ruins good character.
“narcissism might be trying to be your own god” russell brand is a fucking legend
This is simple biblical truth.
It's amazing how good russell articulate his thoughts 👍
Personally, I think Russel is spouting wisdom when it comes to his personal relationship with Hollywood and the idealism vs reality of what can happen.
It’s also so easy to say that Jesus hung out with all these different kinds of people as an overarching statement, when in reality He asked them to leave their lives behind and follow Him. He was kind, loving, and all of the above to those that were lost, broken, afflicted - but that doesn’t mean He was hanging out or participating with them in their lifestyles.
Wonderful to hear,
How amazing to have someone with the awareness and understanding of Russell to explain the love of God.
I needed to hear the work of God again.
I humble myself again to your Lordship Jesus and the power of your hand.
"when I get there, I'll change it" he is still operating in his efforts, his will, it's a long process most times. He will get more and more of God's strength, through more and more surrender and his mind will be overtaken and God will possibly transform his mind to be able to be in that environment, in God's strength, with God's armor protecting him! God will do it if it's His will, I know exactly how Russell feels, I was there just a couple years ago and now I am eager to enter back in with excitement because I know God will change people there, not me! Praying for you 3! Praise the Lord!!
Russell has such a deep understanding that surpassed the capabilities of the interview
Chills what an amazing person to have on the podcast!!!
King David did have the Holy Spirit George. The HS was active in the OT. Psalm 51:11
“Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.”
What a great conversation between these three. God is working important paths for them and I'm going to continue to pray for Russell, George and Shawna. I'm a huge fan. Much love to you. May the Lord continue to bless you guys.
Thank you I really needed this… And I shared it with many friends who needed it. God bless you!! 🥰❤️
By far my favorite episode
Me too
Russel is an under rated genius
George got Russel Brand to come on his podcast ?!?!?! Kingdom come!!! 💖💙
Wow i didn’t want this interview to end. Its so beautiful to see what the Lord has done with Russel Brand. He truly is poetic and a beautiful soul. Part 2 please
This is such a beautiful interview I'm in tears 😢❤ Russell your conversion to Christ has been beautiful to watch. I pray to one day be able to talk about Jesus with you. I'll be praying for you all in Jesus name 🙏
I like how Russel pushed back on George on the hollywood thing. Too many christians think they are going to save hollywood and end up just becoming one like everyone else.
Some people criticize what they havent or cant accomplish so they villify it and apply the devil to it. The arrogance to tell somebody whos been through it already is insane. Chris pratt, denzel washington, chris tucker and will smith are perfect examples of entertainers in film who do fun family friendly content. But whites and blacks are held to a different standard.
100%
love you boys, keep spitting the word of God unapologetically
God bless you George great episode❤
You have no idea how much Joy I feel when I see Christ bring people like Russel to his knowledge. Look at how Christ is also bringing Jordan Peterson to the Knowledge of Christ just trying to find the meaning of life. At the end of it all. It leads to Christ. Thank you Jesus
Russell continually participates in my most favorite interviews of all time, and this is easily one of them. He brings such a childlike joy that I quickly tune into. His happiness is the Holy Spirit, and it is within me! Love!
"I though peace was boredom" 💯🔥
