E244: Atheist at 8, Gang Leader at 10: Ruslan's Path to Jesus w/Ruslan KD | Lila Rose Show

When the disciples argued over who would be the greatest (Luke 9:46), Jesus did not rebuke their ambition. He redirected it toward service and heaven.

That same lesson shapes YouTube creator Ruslan KD’s new book, Godly Ambition: Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Time, Talent, and Treasure. From a childhood marked by fatherlessness, atheism, and crime, to finding Christ and purpose as an adult, Ruslan shows how ambition can be transformed into a God-given gift.

In this episode, discover how to recognize your gifts, harness your potential, and live out the passion God has placed on your heart.
