Ambition isn’t the enemy—it’s the answer.

Ruslan KD went from refugee to success story. Now the influential YouTuber, artist, and entrepreneur shares his playbook for building a career that leverages your gifts, serves your community, and glorifies God.

Trying to make our way in a fast-moving world, we can often feel overwhelmed, ill-equipped, and unsure of next steps. And ambition? Many times, it’s mistaken for selfishness and gets a bad rap. But what if ambition, rooted in faith, is exactly what you need to uncover your purpose, sharpen your skills, and make an impact for God's kingdom?

In Godly Ambition, hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, and popular YouTuber Ruslan KD shares his story—from growing up as a refugee with a single mom to facing a future headed for trouble. Instead, faith and hard work led him to a life filled with purpose, impact, and peace.

• understand the difference between selfish and godly ambition

Great kick-start to your dream job journey

Ruslan covers all the topics you need to take that first step towards the deeply meaningful career and life many of us pine for. It’s a 30,000 foot view of many subjects that have been covered at length by a variety of authors, but never all at once and in such a simple way. Indie Jones did it again!

The Encouragement

Listened to 1 time. Thought it a really great book. Practical. Anecdotal. Experiential. Encouraging. Chapters 7, 9, & 10 are 🔥🔥🔥. Well done Ruslan and Co. for the book entirely but particularly those chapters. Looking forward to listening to it again. Got the hardback so will be following along visually as well. Bravo on the book. 👏👏👏👏👏

Read this book!

Every part of this book is beneficial! I’m a homeschool mom and found this very applicable to my season in life, even though I’m not starting a business in the near future. This book is an overall great guide on how to keep God the focus of your daily life. The title of this book could be “Godly Life: How to live each focused on Him”

Very Insightful

Offers a Christian perspective on developing the right habits for producing works for the good of the kingdom. I am very thankful and blessed to have this knowledge. I look forward to applying what I have learned to become the person God created me to be.

Great book!!

The narration and themes from a biblical source were my favorite. During a season for when I felt the need for this type of book most.
Creatives / doers in general give it a shot I believe you’ll get value out of this book.

A true blessing, and guide to realign yourself and stay on the course of God’s divine plans for your life!

I first found Ruslan KD on YouTube during a difficult season in my life about three years ago. And I’ve watched multiple videos, live streams, virtual Bless God summit, utilizing the prayer journals, even rocking the apparel. But as a working husband, and father to three boys I don’t always have the time to watch or listen to all of the content, this book makes me feel like all of the hours of podcast I’ve seen and even ones I’ve probably missed, are all confined in this book! Now that I’m done reading it, it’s time for reflection and a bunch of note taking! Thanks Bro for all you do for the KINGDOM OF GOD❤️🙏🏽💪🏽
