I recently stumbled across the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly, created by photographer and filmmaker Mark Laita. Through raw, unfiltered interviews, Mark gives voice to people whose stories are rarely heard—people who have lived through deep trauma, addiction, and brokenness.
One interview stopped me cold.
Mark was interviewing Russ Taff, a once-famous Gospel singer whose music shaped a generation. I knew Russ had struggled with alcohol—but I did not know why.
Russ’ story is moving, gripping, disturbing, and at moments, deeply hopeful. Yet after watching the full interview, I was left with a sobering realization: the hope never fully arrived.
In this episode—and the episodes that follow—I begin breaking down Russ Taff’s interview to show how the Gospel, properly understood, and deliverance through the name of Jesus, is the answer Mark Laita—and many Americans—are searching for.
We will talk honestly about:
• Trauma and addiction
• Word curses and soul ties
• Demonic influence in the lives of Christians and non-Christians
• Why healing often stalls without truth
Many of you will recognize parts of your own story in Russ’.
By the end of these episodes, you will not only understand how the enemy has attacked your life—you will know the Truth.
And the Truth will set you free.
