It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Steve Russo, founder of Steve Russo Evangelistic Ministries and Real Answers. Steve went home to be with the Lord suddenly on October 5, 2025, due to heart failure following several months of complications from a blood infection. Steve faithfully served Christ for decades, using his gifts to share the gospel with clarity and compassion. His life and work touched countless lives for the glory of God. While we sorrow with his passing here on earth, we know that Steve is experiencing great joy being face to face with his Lord and Savior. What a joy that is to know!
“For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” — Philippians 1:21
Further information regarding ministry operations and related matters will be communicated in due course.
The Board Members of Steve Russo Ministries
You are a product today of the choices you’ve made in the past and your future will be directly affected by choices you make today. Speaking bluntly, in some situations, how you choose to live today will determine how, and if, you live tomorrow.
Steve has connected with hundreds of thousands of teens during his career through radio, TV, books, speaking and work as a professional drummer. He is a member of the Recording Academy, a best-selling author and has been featured on ABC, CBS and NBC news broadcasts as well as on The O’Reilly Factor on the Fox News Channel.
Steve has dedicated his life to helping young people make wise choices — and he’s excited about the opportunity of bringing The CHOICES School Assembly to your school!
In the Choices School Assembly, Steve draws example after example from his own experiences — from nightclub gigs while still in high school – to studio work – to entertaining some of the top names in movies and television. Teens respond positively and decisively as they identify with his lifestyle values and apply them in their own lives. Steve dramatically reinforces the need for value-driven personal relationships and for completing high school successfully. He contrasts these with the disastrous damage to relationships as a result of drug use, alcohol abuse, violence, pre-marital sex, and suicide.
Many teens in Steve’s audience experience profound changes in their lives as a result of the positive lifestyle values they adopt as they think through the reality of their choices and consequences.
