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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
