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 think it’s also important to take note that right now, while yes there are celebrities and or notoriety denouncing Christianity, there are also many who are coming to Christ. Many more all the time.

Great question Ruslan. I love the conversation with people who don’t believe or understand God to see them now join the church is amazing

[EricHungerfordCreative]

My answer to the question: YES, it would be fruitful. Ruslan, you have a true gift for evangelism, and I can’t imagine a more powerful way to impart and amplify that gift than by exercising conversations with those of contrary beliefs with gentleness & respect.

I know that a conversation with an ex-vangelical is not necessarily evangelism per se, but if you can model sharing truth with respect, then you are effectively training viewers in evangelism. And they just came for the entertainment 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Hayleep]

Ultimately these types of people want to write it out their own way instead of being submitted to the most high

[brightelskerfoundation]

Dear brother, it doesn't matter what we want or think, it matters only what is pleasing to God the Father who is in Heaven, who we are to revere and love.
Peace and love. 🕊

Look like so much fun to go but unfortunately I have school those days. I hope next year to be able go the this event

[buckanderson]

The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Let us not just be hearers of Word but doers also. Please believe that God has given us everything we need and equipped us for every good work. God has placed workers in many different fields so that people in all areas can be reached. Wherever you are right now is where God wants you to serve in your current season. Ministry isn't always spoken but it is always demonstrated.

[ElijahRock]

Honestly Ruslan, I've been using your videos with non-Christians, Christian-adjacent, and genuine Christians on the other end of the denominational spectrum as examples of how to discourse with people of different views. I don't just watch for entertainment, I genuinely see what's being said, how the conversations flow, and how abrasive views are handled. There's times you do great (ex. Tim with the New Evangelicals) and times I disagree with your approach (surprising Marcus Rogers with Jon McCray and Allen Parr). Long story short, I hope you continue to bring in people of varying views on your show for discussion. I find it fruitful, thus why I joined your Patreon.

[Elizabeth-dqhg]

My answer is Yes, because even though they have turned away hopefully not to far away but you are great at wording things so eloquently and I think you could have nothing but a positive influence on them I know I look forward to watching y’all’s channel thank you and God Bless You!

[nathank]

Ruslan, I think those conversations (if those in the deconversion space are willing to have them) could be extremely fruitful and not only for the person you’d be having the conversation with. Imagine someone who’s in the same mental space watching your videos and getting to hear your takes and then being led back to the Father as well. I think that could be incredible 🙏🏼 much love bro, blessings

[DJServe]

I also notice the book on your table .. 😂 the purple Cow my favorite 🔥

[riffeteddybear]

I think it would be fruitful because I and many others here find a lot of value in the way Ruslan approaches these topics

[AnnieAnom]

I think it’s important to be respectful and is possible to be friends with people of opposing views obviously. But for me personally, I prefer to listen to content of believers, and find interviews discussing why they deconstructed or don’t believe discouraging. May be because I’m so new (ish) to fully embracing faith and not strong enough to push against it — not that I would. But I found the good mythical morning guys discussing their reason for leaving the faith discouraging.

[neothe]

Im not sure that deconstruction is possible, in my opinion. I think that most Christians who "deconstruct" were taught from the jump and led to believe that they can hold on to their life and follow Christ at the same time. Which is not the case. The only reason you'll "turn away" from the one who saved you, is if you didn't actually believe that he saved you in the first place.... maybe because you were pulled into the faith by a bunch of Christian salesmen (or women) by way of telling you that you can use Christ like a "Crystal" or a "Genie" to acquire fleshly desires and avoid fleshly/worldly pain. This is why we've got "Christians" who think that they are beyond Jesus... in a sinful world.. believing that they don't deserve to be persecuted for following Christ. Or when they work "hard" for something that they are entitled to get it. My suggestion is to learn how to find peace, joy and rest in the storm... because the destiny to everlasting life is much greater than the temporary, short lived pain and suffering that we endure here on earth and that our fleshly wants and desires are all but temporary and not important.. also my brotha Ruslan, i disagree that a person should be influenced to stay "Christian" simply because they made some wealth from it. If youre "influenced" to do good or bad through your flesh, that isnt a choice. Your just simply influenced. The biggest fleshly influencer is Satan. Im not sure if this works lol. I've personally acquired wealth without ever accepting Christ in my heart. I think gaining wealth or status through Christianity has little to do with anything about being saved or saving others, thru Christ lol

[DJServe]

This is one of the reasons why I always keep my distance from CHH / celebrity Christian artist/speakers whenever I do shows with them … I don’t desire to be buddy buddy with them.. just associates.. I Don’t worship these humans ..

[blb]

Just because people call themselves a Christian does not make them a Christian. A real Christian cannot be persuaded or duped out of their faith... I'm talking about a true Christian. If you have a relationship with Jesus Christ I mean in prayer and quiet time just you and him
When you in your quiet time and you talking to the Lord he will give you what you need and you can hear what he has to say to you that will make you stronger in your faith and your trust in God
This is what's missing in today's Christian. If today's Christian have wisdom and discernment they will be food just like the word says.

[jreel]

I used to listen to Lecrae but I realized his views don’t align with what has been written. I cannot separate the music from the artist. He has a huge platform, mine is no where near his, but we’re both going to be judge the same!

[lukewoodard]

Respectively those people who deconverted or whatever, were never truly Christians to begin with. To answer your question yes I do think those conversations would be fruitful.
