L.D. Russell is a Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at Elon University, where he has taught in the areas of world religions and religion and culture since 1993.

I had the opportunity to engage with L.D. in the classroom during my time at Elon University. His willingness to be vulnerable about spirituality, religion, and community (or a "tribe" as L.D. calls it), allows for students to explore difficult questions with great depth.

In our conversation, L.D. and I discuss finding your tribe in a remote environment and creating a legacy that will outlast you.

I hope that our conversation emulates the core tenants of LD’s classroom: have compassion for your neighbor and serve one another.
