Ruslan on Israel, Godly Ambition & Taking Responsibility

Send us a text

In this powerful episode, Skylar Lewis sits down with Ruslan KD to tackle one of the toughest questions Christians are facing today: Do we have to pick a side on Israel?

Within the first 90 seconds, they dive deep into the “I’m done choosing sides” moment — unpacking why Israel isn’t a monolith, what it really means to support a nation’s right to exist, and how believers can honor both truth and compassion. Ruslan challenges the extremes of blind nationalism and anti-Israel sentiment, calling for biblical balance and responsibility.

From there, the conversation expands into godly ambition vs. selfish ambition, how to build a business for God’s glory, and why generosity is the antidote to greed. Skylar and Ruslan discuss revival after tragedy, Gen Z’s battle with nihilism, and how personal responsibility is the cure for a culture addicted to victimhood.

This is a raw, faith-driven dialogue between two Christian leaders calling men to rise up, think critically, and live boldly for the Kingdom.

Watch for: “Israel Derangement Syndrome,” the truth about ultra-Orthodox Israel, how to glorify God through business, Christian revival, and why clarity is kindness in culture.
