Ruslan KD and I have been friends for over 15 years. I knew him back when he was rapping, and I watched him become one of the biggest faith voices on YouTube. Early in my journey, he showed me what he was really making on YouTube, and it changed how I approached social media.
In this episode of Make Belief, no topic was off limits. We get into:
- His move from Christian hip-hop to YouTube
- What the money really looks like for a faith creator
- His book Godly Ambition, and why Christians shouldn’t feel guilty about ambition
- How he handles backlash, critics, and fights with his own side
- And yes... Candace Owens 😂
We don’t agree on everything, but that’s what real friendship looks like.
