Kelli Russell lives and is finding her purpose in Boise, Idaho. As a young professional, hearing a definite call on her life to pursue God’s purposes, she sees the principles and plans of God relevant to all areas of life. This includes navigating the often-confusing, filled with choices, and critical-to-the-future world of young adulthood.
After graduating from Washington State University with a bachelor degree in Communication, she was thrown into the world of business, making decisions, paying bills, being responsible for a ginormous lawn at her rental, and learning that life really is harder than it looks sometimes.
Kelli gave her life to the Lord while in college and now sees her purpose in life to do one thing–whatever God tells her, wherever that may be and whenever he decides.
Hands-on experience in college ministry, interning in New York at the city’s exclusive Urban Christian Public Relations firm Affinity PR (which included an education in public transportation, where the midterm consisted of an 8 hour journey home in a rain storm that shut down the subway), surviving the collegiate world, moving back to the West Coast to finish school, and three jobs in three years have each been God’s way of teaching and training her.
Kelli has been published in Relevant Magazine online, Boise Urban Liaison, IQ Idaho and joe538.com. She serves at a local church in Boise, Idaho and is learning a deeper sense of servanthood and destiny, plus principles about being surrendered to the Lord (she’ll let you know how that turns out, but it is a wonderful process).
As a side hustle, she coordinates Sunday services at her church & worship conferences in November 20111, and organizes lots of dinner parties & birthdays in her home.
