In this episode, Ruslan breaks down a surprising moment from Joe Rogan's latest podcast, where Rogan makes a bold statement about faith, miracles, and the limits of logic.

What begins as a lighthearted check-in about wedding plans turns into a raw reflection on conviction, guilt, faith, and spiritual maturity.

In this episode, Ruslan KD sits down with Jonathan from Ear to Hear to dive deep into one of the most debated theological frameworks among Christians: dispensationalism vs covenant theology. They unpack what Scripture says about Israel—past, present, and future—and whether modern geopolitical Israel aligns with biblical prophecy.They explore questions like:Are the Jewish people still God's chosen people under a unique covenant?Does “all Israel will be saved” mean the modern nation-state or the ethnic people scattered across the world?Should Christians support every action of Israel's government in the name of biblical prophecy?The conversation also addresses the role of prophecy in modern politics, conspiracy theories around Mousad and the CIA, and the controversial use of Scripture in political rhetoric by figures like Ted Cruz. Throughout, Ruslan challenges easy assumptions while Jonathan lays out the case for a literal, dispensational reading of the Bible—arguing that God works in distinct eras and still has a plan for ethnic Israel.This is a nuanced and honest conversation for believers wanting clarity on end-times theology, how to interpret Romans 11, and how to approach Israel with both love and discernment.

In this powerful episode, Ruslan KD shares one of the biggest business mistakes in history—the time Excite's CEO turned down buying Google for $750K—and draws a profound parallel to how many of us overlook the influence and opportunities God has already placed in our hands. With a deep dive into Luke 19 and the parable of the minas, Ruslan unpacks how stewardship, not status, is what matters most. You'll learn the difference between outside-in, inside-out, and top-down identity, and discover why buried potential offends the King.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the biblical prophecies surrounding Israel, end times, and the rise of the Antichrist. The conversation dives deep into Ezekiel 38, examining how ancient nations like Russia, Iran, and Turkey could be part of a future war against Israel, potentially triggering a global conflict. We discuss how God's miraculous defense of Israel could spark mass revival among Jewish people and how this could pave the way for the Antichrist to rise as a false peacemaker. The speakers unpack different views on the rapture, biblical symbolism, and the connection between First John, Daniel, and Revelation. We also wrestle with modern political concerns about Israel's leadership, U.S. foreign policy, and even theories involving Mossad and the CIA.

In this episode, we unpack the fascinating and sobering journey of Jim Carrey — from poor Canadian kid to king of comedy, global fame, and unimaginable wealth — only to discover it wasn't enough. Through his strange interviews and self-deprecating speeches, Carrey has hinted for years that the success he chased left him feeling empty. We contrast his story with Denzel Washington's faith-rooted career and explore how godly ambition, anchored in Christ, offers a better way to live and create.

n this episode, we dive deep into Justin Bieber's faith journey, his surprising new album Swag, and what it reveals about the tension between spirituality and culture today. We explore Justin's public walk with Jesus — from his baptism and worship leading to his recent collaborations and explicit lyrics — and ask what it says about a generation that wants Jesus as Savior but struggles to surrender to Him as Lord. We also reflect on how believers can build a solid foundation of worldview, virtue, and impact, instead of chasing fruit out of season. The conversation ends with an invitation to the Bless God Summit, where we unpack these ideas even further.

In this episode, Ruslan and his guest dive deep into the tension between biblical prophecy, modern Israel, and U.S. politics. They discuss whether Christians should support the Israeli government unconditionally, what Romans 11 really means about “all Israel” being saved, and how dispensationalist theology shapes these views. They also touch on controversial claims about the CIA, Mossad, and the Epstein list — questioning how faith and politics intersect without crossing into conspiracy.

In this episode, Ruslan explores the intense physical transformations of Christian Bale and 50 Cent — and the deeper questions behind them. Why did Bale starve himself to play a guilt-ridden insomniac in The Machinist, then bulk up beyond recognition to become Batman? Why did 50 Cent shed over 50 pounds for a little-known movie about his friend's battle with cancer?Ruslan unpacks these two stories to examine what really fuels our ambition. Is it love and meaning, like 50 Cent's tribute to his friend? Or is it ego and insecurity, like Bale admitted about pushing himself too far?You'll hear how the Bible distinguishes between selfish ambition that destroys and godly ambition that glorifies God and serves others. Ruslan also shares practical insights on how to discern your own motives and embrace ambition as stewardship — using your gifts with humility and excellence.If you've ever wrestled with the tension between wanting more and honoring God, this episode will challenge and inspire you to ask: What's really driving me?
