Bio: Ruslan KD is a Christian YouTuber of Armenian descent who was a refugee from Baku, Azerbaijan, before moving to the United States as a child. He started his YouTube channel in the mid-2010s, which has since grown into a popular platform for discussing faith, lifestyle, and music. Known for his insightful commentary on Christian living, culture, and personal development, Ruslan has built a community of followers who value his thoughtful approach to contemporary issues. In addition to his YouTube presence, Ruslan is a speaker, author, and advocate for godly ambition, often addressing topics related to leadership, mental health, and the integration of faith in everyday life.

Our mission is to encourage, empower, and inspire people to live a life that Blesses God, in accordance with His word. As the Psalmist proclaims, "Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you who are of Israel's fountain" (Psalm 68:26 ESV), and "Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy name forever and ever" (Psalm 145:2 KJV). Just as Simeon, after encountering Jesus, "took him up in his arms and blessed God" (Luke 2:28 ESV), we seek to lead others in a life of stewardship, relevant engagement, and practical living that honors and blesses the Lord.

I really appreciate the time you take to do these interviews and to also cut down the videos to be more watchable for your viewers. Thanks Ruslan!

What a great conversation. When I became a Christian in 2004 I was an Armenian. About 5-6 years ago I started learning calvanistic viewpoints. I will say Election has not only humbled me, but made me realize even more how much God loves me. Election made me even more grateful towards the Lord. I don't feel that I'm an "elite" Christian. Rather, i feel extremely fortunate.

Dr. Leighton Ford is a blessing to the Church. This blessed me.

I have been helped so much by Leighton Flowers

[nathanaelschraeder]

I was just discussing this in my Bible study. Very difficult topic.

[caspermapurisa]

While I lean more towards Calvinistic theology(not culture and behaviour associated with it), I do think that Ultimately our finite minds can never comprehend the finer workings of salvation. Maybe we shouldn't view election and "free will" as being mutually exclusive but as complementing each other in a way that we will never understand on this side of eternity.
All I know is that even what we call "freewill" still works out according to HIS purpose. I know he foreknew, predestined, called, justified and he will glorify us for eternity. How that works out is unfathomable to my very finite mind.

Romans 8:28-29 And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. 29For those God FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified…

"God choosing Isreal is not a salvafic."
Made me immediately raise the question, than what was it for? Why did God choose a nation, apostle, prophet, etc?

🥳TO BE A BLESSING TO THE OTHER NATION'S blown😳😱🤯🥰🤗

What up Ruslan!!!
I like that you provide many different p.o.v 's on the Channel. And with that, I believe you should have a True Calvinist on to discuss our p.o.v. concerning the points Dr Flowers discussed. I don't an accurate view of Calvinism was displayed in this interview. Dr. James White thoroughly handled Dr. Flowers un their Romans ch 9 Debate. You should watch it Ruslan.

[pamsmith]

Such s simple and thorough explanation! Thank you!

[silkyc]

I think he said very eloquently what I've believed for a while. Technically everyone is called but some people hit the ignore button instead of answering. Everyone can be elect but not everyone accepts. God chooses everyone but not everyone chooses God.. at least I think that's what he was saying 😬🤷🏾‍♂️

[markhaney]

Amen to this!!!! God chose everyone through

[joeldelgado_]

A lot to take In lol but I have a question that maybe you can answer. I agree with what Dr. Flowers is saying when he says that those who put their faith In Jesus are the chosen “the elect”. Mike winger did have something a little more to say in one of his videos where he says the same thing but that those who put their faith in Christ are the elect and that God in his forknowledge predestined them. Which basically reconciles free will and Gods sovereignty. Basically that those people that God saw before time as we know it, put their faith and responded with that free will to that call, will come to pass. Those people will be saved basically everyone who believes. Would you say this is what may be being illustrated? Thank you for helping us grow Ruslan

Ruslan I think this might the worst way to explain Roman 9 sad that you guys are so blind to this free will non sense when thire is all knowing thire is no free will don’t get the wrong we have choice but where not free And limited and also known and it ok as long us Jesus getting all glory

[phil]

I became a lot more convinced of Calvinism after doing prison ministry. Spiritual blindness is real and until the Hs opens people’s eyes to the gospel, they can’t see. Identical messages got totally different receptions and ones that I thought were weak, people came to Christ.

[benekbailey]

This “explanation” is a NO for me. Wow. There is no such thing as “FREEWILL.

[karloswithak]

Just looking at some of the comments, I'm not sure why some are saying there is no freewill? Obviously there is or there wouldn't be a heaven and a hell🤷🏻‍♂️ Sorry if I'm misinterpreting
