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.

Sometimes thats why God doesn't answer our prayers. If your heart isn't in the right place he won't hear it. He doesn't endorse a lifestyle of vanity but he endorses good fruits meant to be charitable and grow to do good things for others. God bless all yall

We are not designed to wait until we’re 35 to get married. I had just turned 21 and my wife was 19 when we were married 29 years ago. We dated for about 5 years, so we kind of grew up together. And since we were married young we were able to wait 8 years before having our first child. Those were great years of growing our relationship. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

[becca.n]

this is honestly one of the many reasons why I’m glad God led me to your channel, you exhort and articulate matters in ways that shows God’s wisdom in your life and how to explain parts of scriptures! Lord willing cannot wait to see you hit 100k, blessings bro!

[IkeVictor]

love this channel/content.... its like rogan, KSamuels, graham s, hiphop culture, scripture all in one haha

[khetasindanji]

I love the way you explained it. It was one Adam and one Eve. It's that simple 🙌🏾😊

[nnamdiosix]

This was a great way of answering that question Ruslan. This was something I used to wonder about and something I couldn’t fully explain to someone who asked me that before. Descriptive vs Prescriptive simplified this whole thing for me. Thanks

[dereall]

This is simple timeless truth that I believe every young man needs to hear 👌🏾💯

Bro u been dropping bangers on top of bangers

[xJoesanx]

I've been told by my pastor and other leaders from my church to wait till I'm in my 30's to get married and settle down. I'm thinking that wasn't the best decision because I've never dated and now trying to pursue someone is a lil awkward to be honest. Same goes to the girls at my church, they don't want to get into a relationship until they are in their 30's.

[SpiritLife]

Frequently, non believers or progressive "Christians" use the example of polygamy in the Bible to dismiss the definition of marriage and allow for gay marriage. Jesus affirmed one man one woman though

[stormIsMe]

Thanks for putting out uplifting word-affirming content man! It's appreciated 🙌🙏

[jerodrozier]

Bro, excellent navigation of God’s word and HIS context! This channel is truly an inspiration!

[storminator]

Wonderful video bro, I am my worse critic at times and i always get down on myself thinking because i am in my 30s i should be where i believe i should be. I need to learn to be more patient with myself and trust the Lord. I am going to school soon to receive my CDL to be a truck driver, this video help me to know i still have time and it’s not too late. Thank God i have a loving wife who is supportive where i am at now.

Preach Brother Preach! Context is Key! Great Video Brother! God Bless you!

[ThePreachersKid]

Great video Ruslan! Context and reading all the way to the end is key. You touched on immediately what came to my mind when the question was asked. How did it end for these men? The story of Solomon is a cautionary tale when looking at the complete story through the lens of relationship and intimacy.

[mramirez]

Descriptive. Prescriptive. And the Vs. Good vocabulary-thank you.
It kind of makes me think of the similar confusion over types of literature styles used in the Bible and how not knowing which is being used when or what for, or just not being familiar with some types over others-such as Hebrew styles of meshing words-this is a largely un-taught on area still today. Sunday schools need a regular run-down in these areas as a basic in either hs or adult level or even better, just spelled out in a sermon to the Body bc being ABLE to give an answer for the hope...for those terribly confused by the writing styles God used for His Word, that would move a lot out of the way when it comes to the objections to the Bible that connect with not interpreting the writing correctly so that more ears can hear the Gospel. I'd like to hear a break-down post on the writing styles in the Bible and how we can understand context better from that gleaning (in addition).

Here's to God using the late bloomers. Here's to not limiting God.

You’re going to get $1M faster than you think... Our Father owns everything and you’re doing your part.

Polygyny is not a sin it is completely biblical.
