What happens when one of the biggest producers in music—behind hits for Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, and more—reveals that he’s actually a devoted follower of Jesus? In this episode, Ruslan sits down with Rodney Jerkins, better known as “Darkchild,” to talk about his journey of faith, success, and struggle inside the secular music industry.

They discuss the tension of creating music for the world’s biggest stars while staying true to God, the challenges of compromise, and how Rodney’s perspective has shifted as he’s matured in his walk with Christ. Rodney also flips the script, asking tough questions about Christian YouTube, why believers often focus on secular artists, and how the Church should think about ambition, validation, and building a culture that glorifies God.

Whether you love music, wrestle with faith in your career, or just want to hear the behind-the-scenes of both Hollywood and the Church, this conversation will encourage and challenge you to live with godly ambition.
