Pastor Russell is a Lion!!! I attended this church in Snohomish when they first started up. I never forgot it. Totally authentic group of people serving Jesus with their whole hearts. People regularly receive gifts of healing, words of knowledge, and partake in the moving worship services. I remember one time Pastor Russell picked me out of the crowd and read my mail. The Holy Spirit revealed to him a timely, prophetic word that was spot on. I was happy to see Pastor Russell, standing for truth and righteousness in light of the conflicted, damaging, destructive agendas coming against God's people. He stands for uncompromising biblical truth, and that is saying something given all the pressures he's facing in the heart of Seattle. read more

My partner and I have driven by the billboards this church posts for years, and always found them pretty lighthearted, jovial, and fun. Honestly, we looked forward to seeing what seasonal bit this creative group would come up with! We had always assumed a church with a sense of humor would align with our community's more progressive values, and the values of Christ himself: acceptance, compassion, empathy. However, I found this one to be extremely distasteful. We could have lived in ignorant bliss, assuming this church was a community we could see ourselves rooting for! But now that this less tasteful billboard has been posted, we did a little digging and are quite sure that isn't the case. How rich does your pasture have to be to afford some class? I wouldn't donate to this community if you do align your values with those of Christ. read more

Pastor Russell is so down to earth -- Gucci belts ($700), Fear of God sweatshirts ($200), Louis Vuitton outfits, and private planes will do that to a person. Love that the congregation's generosity also funds giant gaudy billboards around town. Honestly, I'm telling my grandkids to consider ministry -- you may do better than doctors? Mega churches clearly pay well. And the best part? Not a dime in taxes. Truly blessed. read more

Pastor Russell. My best friend Carrie hutchinson last year lost two sons in less than 6 weeks. Couple months later her parents house burnt down. Carrie has been a member of your church for years! She was a greeter at the door. Was involved in women's Bible study through your church. My Aunt Linda Hutchinson has lost two grandsons in less than 6 weeks and her house burnt to the ground and what did pursuit Church do for them gave them a $500 gift card for Fred Meyer. My Linda's feelings were so hurt she made a post online your church. The pursuit sent some people to her house to have her take it down cuz it made the church look bad. You are making your church look bad. Did you one time ask your congregation which is God's congregation to pray for this family that horrifically lost two children and two grandchildren in less than 6 weeks and then their house burnt down. No you did not. Did you put a offering up for them? God's congregation likes to help people in tragic situation. You have never told anybody in the church. What happened to them? Imagine Russell you losing two kids and then your whole house burnt down and the church that you've been going to since before it was in the JCPenney's building. And faithfully tithed a third of their income and couldn't afford homeowners insurance cuz they were obeying God with tithing gives you a $500 gift card and then the pastor gets on stage and brags how he gave a million dollars to somebody to start a church. How you're helping people in California from the fires but somebody in your own church your flock you have done nothing for it. Imagine loosing everything. They didn't even have a toothbrush, a pillow, a blanket, nothing and they're in a tiny little trailer suffering heartbroken of the death of their family members. What would Jesus do Russell ?The pastor feeds the flock. The Church takes care of the flock. I remember my Aunt Linda saying that there was a girl that needed a wheelchair and the whole church went together and took up an offering for her so she could have a wheelchair and a van and that was when you first started pursuit at JCPenney's. When you barely had any money then you advertise it. You have $90,000 in benevolence fund right now and you can't give them $30,000 which she asked for out of the benevolence! What else should I say Bible verses? Do you know how many people you have offended? Do you know how many people that you have offended inside the family and outside the family and people that don't even go to your church anymore because of it? Does that matter to you? Is one or two people or 10 or 12 people important to you that you have offended, including Linda's husband? It was suggested to them that they sell their land well. They don't want to sell their land. They want to rebuild the top floor of the house that got burned. Down there's no one in this huge church and in Kirkland in Seattle that owns a backhoe that would be willing to go help out of the thousands of people that you have coming to church. There's not one person or a group of people that you could gather together as their pastor to help them rebuild? Happy birthday! Pastor Russell. I think about the man that got beat up and left for dead and the Good Samaritan didn't pass him by like so many other people did. He went across the street looked at the guy said hey. I'm taking you to the doctor and I'm going to pay your bills and don't you worry about a thing I care. What about that scripture? Just that one if there was nothing else in the whole Bible, what about that one? What are you doing for the Hutchinson's? Your friend Matthew Hutchinson died a tragic death. You were friends at one time. He looked up to you. His little brother died a tragic tragic death. Your friends, the Hutchinson's who've been committed to your church. Lost everything including life and you have done nothing except give them grocery money to Fred Meyers and no matter how many times I called to talk to somebody about it they would not call me back. They would not pick up their phone. I called pastor Adam Thelman five times no callback. Tried to do this privately. If anybody would like to reach out and help this family, their names are Linda and Gary Hutchinson. Carrie Hutchinson members of the church I'm writing this message because I've never met a family that lost more or suffered more greatly losing two children and two grandchildren and their house burning down. I've never heard this in any other family and the church to do nothing is so heartbreaking. If you offend One of God's little ones its better that you have a Millstone tied around your neck and dropped in the bottom of the sea. The pursuit church has offended dozens of their flock. And non-believers Horribly. Go to them and make it right. If you have offended someone. Go to them yourself. Don't shame them for making your church look bad. Embrace them. Love them. Help them!!! read more
