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. 🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon!   / 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 powerful conversation, Ruslan sits down with Father Josiah Trenham, a prominent Eastern Orthodox priest, author, and YouTuber, for an in-depth dialogue about sacred architecture, spiritual formation, and reclaiming the culture for Christ.Father Josiah shares the incredible story of how his Riverside parish began in a hot, windowless warehouse next to a train track—and how, through faith, grit, and community, it became a breathtaking church modeled after a 13th-century Greek structure. They explore why Orthodox churches are lavishly built, the deep symbolism behind facing east in worship, and why believers literally spit west when renouncing Satan.The discussion expands into critiques of modern universities and hospitals, the rise of secularism, and how Christians have slowly retreated from institutions they once built—from Ivy League schools to popular art and culture. Father Josiah argues that this retreat stems from cold hearts more than just cultural pressure, urging believers to reorient their lives around God's kingdom, not escape the world but transform it.Whether you're curious about Orthodox tradition, hungry for spiritual depth, or wrestling with how to live out your faith in a secular age—this episode will challenge, inspire, and reawaken your vision.
