Ruslan KD Podcast

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?🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/kingsdream🙏: Check Out the Bless God Shop: http://blessgod.shop📖: My Go-To Bible Software (Logos 60 Day Free Trial): http://logos.com/ruslan🆓: Free PDF of the Bless God Prayer Journal: http://blessgodpdf.shop🔓: FREE Freedom Habits (Course w/My Therapist): http://www.mastermyhabits.com

In this episode, we unpack a fiery exchange between apologist Wes Huff and controversial professor Aman Hillman. Hillman, once a Baptist Sunday school teacher, now pushes bizarre theories about Jesus leading a drug-fueled cult and dying from venom instead of crucifixion. His claims — reinterpreting Christian texts through drugs, myths, and scandal — are challenged head-on by Wes, who dismantles Hillman’s arguments and exposes his misuse of Greek.What happens next is wild: as Wes calmly corrects him, Hillman grows visibly agitated — fidgeting, covering his head, and eventually being accused by the host of “manifesting a demon.” We also explore Hillman’s own stories of alleged demonic encounters and his claim to be protected by a “troop of demons” to bring the Antichrist.This conversation dives deep into spiritual warfare, false teaching, and what it means to stand for biblical truth in the face of deception.🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/kingsdream🙏: Check Out the Bless God Shop: http://blessgod.shop🆓: Free PDF of the Bless God Prayer Journal: http://blessgodpdf.shop📰: Bless God Newsletter: https://www.mastermyhabits.com/newsletter🔓: FREE Freedom Habits (Course w/My Therapist): http://www.mastermyhabits.com📲: SMS Text from Ruslan (Don't Send Links Please) 714-710-1017🎤: Check Out Our Podcasts on Spotify!: bit.ly/4kxQuB9🔊: Check Out Our Bless God Studios Clips on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4kQwhXc

In this powerful episode, the story of Brock Purdy — once laughed at as “Mr. Irrelevant,” the very last pick of the NFL draft — becomes a vivid picture of how God chooses the overlooked and extends mercy to the outsider.

Along the way, Ruslan shares his own reflections, weaving together scripture, real-life examples, and encouragement for those who feel disqualified or forgotten.If you’ve ever wondered whether you belong in God’s story, this episode will remind you: mercy is for the humble, the outsider, the underdog — for all who will receive it.🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/kingsdream🙏: Check Out the Bless God Shop: http://blessgod.shop🆓: Free PDF of the Bless God Prayer Journal: http://blessgodpdf.shop📰: Bless God Newsletter: https://www.mastermyhabits.com/newsletter🔓: FREE Freedom Habits (Course w/My Therapist): http://www.mastermyhabits.com📲: SMS Text from Ruslan (Don't Send Links Please) 714-710-1017🔊: Check Out Our Bless God Studios Clips on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4kQwhXc

Did Apple Accidentally Preach the Gospel? | Rick Sherman’s Rescue & 1 Corinthians 15In this episode, we explore how Apple’s powerful commercial about Rick Sherman—a man rescued from drowning thanks to his Apple Watch—mirrors the good news of Jesus.

We also reflect on how even in our struggles, God’s grace sustains and sanctifies us over time.This episode combines cultural commentary, biblical teaching, and a reminder that we never graduate from the gospel—we keep leaning on it, just as Rick will never forget the watch that saved his life.🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/kingsdream🙏: Check Out the Bless God Shop: http://blessgod.shop🆓: Free PDF of the Bless God Prayer Journal: http://blessgodpdf.shop📰: Bless God Newsletter: https://www.mastermyhabits.com/newsletter🔓: FREE Freedom Habits (Course w/My Therapist): http://www.mastermyhabits.com📲: SMS Text from Ruslan (Don't Send Links Please) 714-710-1017🎤: Check Out Our Podcasts on Spotify!: bit.ly/4kxQuB9🔊: Check Out Our Bless God Studios Clips on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/4kQwhXc
