TWO MESSAGES. ONE STANDARD.
Iron & Light offers two signature keynote experiences, each rooted in leadership, resilience, accountability, purpose, and the belief that the standard we keep shapes the life we lead.
The Standard We Keep
Leadership, Tier 1 Decision-Making, & Operational Clarity
Ideal for:
First responders • Law enforcement • Fire & EMS • Leadership teams • Organizations • Conferences • Corporate events
Built from Eric Russell’s experience in some of the most demanding and high-stakes environments on Earth, The Standard We Keep challenges audiences to examine the standards they set, the decisions they make, and the way they lead when pressure is high and clarity matters most.
Through lessons in leadership, decision-making, operational clarity, resilience, discipline, accountability, and mental toughness, Eric equips audiences with principles they can carry from the workplace into every area of life.
Ideal for:
Churches • Recovery ministries • Faith-based organizations • Christian conferences • Community groups • Outreach events
Eric and Rebecca Russell share their deeply personal testimonies of addiction, PTSD, spiritual searching, brokenness, recovery, surrender, redemption, and the extraordinary ways Jesus Christ transformed their lives.
Together, they speak openly about the places they have been, what it took to walk away from the lives that once defined them, and what became possible when they put God at the center of their lives.
This is more than a story of surviving the past. It is a powerful message of hope, restoration, purpose, and the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.
Your past does not disqualify you.
When your testimony is surrendered to God and used for His glory, the enemy can no longer use it against you.
The Standard We Keep:
Faith, Recovery, & Redemption
