Russ Ewell

Founder

Russ Ewell is executive minister of the Bay Area Christian Church, author of He’s Not Who You Think He Is, and a writer and teacher who brings intellectual rigor to the exploration of faith at the edge of modern life. With over four decades of leadership experience, he helps people discover biblical Christianity that is intellectually serious, emotionally grounding, and capable of real transformation.

Russ is the founder of Deep Spirituality, a global digital publication reaching readers around the world who are spiritually curious and seeking something deeper. Through Deep Spirituality’s newsletter, The Spiritual Frontier, he develops content addressing the future of faith for next generations, innovative inclusion models, and accessible spirituality for the spiritually curious.

Russ studied economics at Boston University, earned a B.A. in Black Religion in America from UMass Boston, and completed graduate work at Harvard.

As a father to adult children with special needs, Russ has spent decades building sustainable models of care, inclusion, and belonging. This long-standing commitment to innovation shaped both his leadership at Bay Area Christian Church — and his pioneering work in inclusive technologies through Digital Scribbler, Hope Technology Group, and E-Life.

Across all his work runs a unifying theme: helping people overcome human limits — spiritual, emotional, cultural, and practical — by learning how to walk with God in a way that produces clarity, courage, and peace.

Russ’s writing, teaching, and speaking have reached audiences through numerous media appearances, podcasts, and conferences. His leadership and service have been recognized with the Jefferson Award and a Congressional Citation for work with youth and individuals with disabilities.
