Summary

In this episode, we welcome Russell Berger to the show. He is the former Chief Knowledge Officer and spokesman for the fitness/gym brand CrossFit who was fired in 2018 for tweeting in defense of a CrossFit franchise owner that canceled an LGBTQ+ pride-themed workout for religious reasons. In this interview, we discuss his athletic background, how he got involved with CrossFit, how he got into the middle of a firestorm for tweeting his beliefs, the process of him being unceremoniously fired from his job, why it was actually a blessing that he was let go, how Christians and Conservatives can push back against wokeness and cancellation, the ministry work he’s doing now, and much more. Let’s get into it… Episode notes and links HERE. Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
