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

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
• clarify your identity and purpose in Christ

• take simple, actionable steps to move forward in your life

No fluff. No hype. Just practical insights to help you chase the right goals and live with deeper purpose. Wherever you are today, Godly Ambition will challenge and inspire you to live boldly for God, using your gifts to make a difference.

A book for all young people

Every single person from 15 to 35 should read this book. Every one. It’s the single best nonfiction book I’ve ever read, or in this case, listened to. It’s a coherent, organized plan for progressing a life, in a way that stays within God’s will. Thank you Ruslan for writing this. I’m going to buy several hard copies to give out to the young people I know.

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!

Excellent Encouragement And Advice

I got this book initially because I am working to start my own business and I wanted to do it God's way.

I had no idea going in that the advice in this book would help me strengthen not only my resolve, but also my walk with Christ.

Excellent work, well written, and the author did phenomenal with the audio!

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. 👏👏👏👏👏

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❤️🙏🏽💪🏽

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.

5 star +

I love how How practical and biblical this book is. Hope others carve out time to read it.

Understanding my talent

I loved this book especially on talent. I just started working my new job a month ago. previously I was a professional house cleaner. i love cleaning and being organized. I thought I'd always be cleaning. it wasn't till this past summer that I desired and longed for a new career. I found myself being easily flustered and angry (the Lord rebuked me...several times) I needed it. I prayed and asked when that would happen or if I'd just be stuck cleaning all my life. I love doing that don't get me wrong but as a job it was getting to the point I no longer was keeping my apartment the way I used to. I was slacking. it wasn't until a good friend of mine from church asked if I was okay if she recommended me to her son's about hiring me for a job opening as a secretary in their business. I was shocked.. I've never had any experience and thought 🤔 why me?? out of everyone who could probably be more useful and knowledgeable in areas like that. I'm not good with numbers I thought. 🤔 I prayed about it and so did her and her family. I spoke with my husband and he was excited for me to start something new and he didn't hesitate to tell me to take the offer. but I told him it was just a recommendation. Still he was happy. He knew that I could do something more than just clean and I couldn't see myself doing anything else but cleaning because I felt stuck there. I prayed and the scripture came to mind that talks about working hard for the Lord and not man. The thought of "you've been working hard, but now it's time to follow Me here" kept popping up and I was scared. I was scared to even put my 2 weeks in. Scared of not being comfortable anymore. Now I'm 1 month working at my new job and I'm happy when I hear I've helped in the office with what was very much needed. I'm glad I followed the Lord into something I thought I could never do. Not only am I using my organization skills but it's also helping me sharpen my mind in memorizing what I need to do which I struggle with! ❤️
tñThank you Ruslan for the eye opening chapter but also the entire book!
