Counsel Quote by Russell Okung
“I'm not defined by whatever team I play for or whatever status I have. And I ask myself like who do I belong to, what's my ultimate source and strength and peace and in wisdom? I hold onto that. And I make all my decisions based off of that. My counsel - always go to God and Jesus first before I make any decision. And it definitely navigates me well.”
