Most people don’t realize they’re addicted to the very pain they’re trying to escape.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Emily and Jake sit down with Ruslan KD to unpack the hidden addictions behind hustle culture, the modern epidemic of performing for approval, and why rejecting God often feels like freedom… until it doesn’t.

What You’ll Learn:
  • The difference between selfish ambition and Godly Ambition
  • How to know if your goals come from calling or ego
  • How pain and pruning prepare you for purpose
  • What it means to lead with peace instead of pressure
  • Why purpose is revealed through surrender, not striving
