Saved on a New York Pier: Joe Russiello’s Radical Encounter with Christ

www.tswrightspeaks.com www.godcenteredconcept.com www.jesussaid.tv In this powerful episode of Kingdom Crossroads, host TS Wright sits down with Joe “Rooz” Russiello for a raw and inspiring testimony about how God radically transformed his life. Joe grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Brooklyn, New York, but questions about faith began at a young age. After years of searching, rebellion, and living life on his own terms, Joe eventually found himself working in law enforcement in New York City — still searching for something deeper. Everything changed when a Christian partner continually challenged him with one simple question: “Are you saved?” What followed was a journey through Scripture, Christian radio teachings, and a life-changing meeting with a pastor on a New York pier where Joe finally surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. In this episode you’ll hear: Joe’s upbringing in New York and early exposure to theology His struggles with religion, doubt, and worldly living How a persistent Christian coworker helped point him toward truth The moment he encountered the gospel and surrendered his life to Christ His calling into Bible teaching and ministry Why the Word of God alone changed everything This conversation is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone for God to reach. If you have ever wrestled with faith, searched for truth, or wondered how God changes a life — this testimony will encourage and challenge you.
