Исповедь Руслана. Что переживает человек на грани | Программа "Сион" / "Zion" program.

Evangelical Analytical Program "Zion" / "Zion" program. Program participants: Anatoly Popov, Ruslan Gurzhiy Video/Sound Operator: Evgeny Bratsky, Alex Mishchenya Video Editing: Ruslan Pogodaev In the new episode of the "Zion" program, we invite you to a deeply personal and honest conversation with Ruslan Gurzhiy—a renowned journalist, public figure, and a man deeply concerned about the fate of the Christian community. This conversation is more than just an interview. It is a confession, a challenge, and a call to reflection for anyone who is not afraid to ask difficult questions about faith, the church, and true Christianity. For nearly an hour, Ruslan shares his spiritual journey—from life in Sacramento to ministry in Ukraine and the United States, from his childhood in a deeply religious family to his work in the California courts. He openly shares the pain of disillusionment with church institutions, speaks honestly about personal mistakes, asks difficult theological questions, and challenges standards we've come to consider sacrosanct. You'll learn: Why he made a point of leaving Sacramento; What "being born again" means to him; Why he doesn't attend church but continues to seek the truth; His views on ministry, money, and hypocrisy in Christianity; Who is his true hero of the faith—and why? This episode is a challenge for each of us. Ruslan Guzhiy doesn't offer ready-made answers, but encourages us to think, read the Bible for ourselves, and not be afraid of honesty—even if it's painful. This program is for those who seek God not in rituals, but in truth. Join us, reflect, debate—but don't remain indifferent. 00:00 - "Zion" Program 00:05 - Intro 00:33 - Start: 00:00 - Introduction by Ruslan Guzhiy 02:00 - Reasons for moving from Sacramento 04:00 - Critique of Slavic Christianity in the USA 06:00 - Discussion of projects to help drug addicts 08:00 - Should we do what "God wants"? 10:00 - Reflections on biblical truth and its presentation 13:00 - Theological debate: Why did God create man? 16:00 - People as Part of the Divine 18:00 - Attitude to the Concept of "Church" 20:00 - The Problem of Monetizing Ministry and Pastoral Salaries 23:00 - Ruslan's Experience Working in Slavic Churches in the USA 26:00 - Understanding Being Born Again 29:00 - Examples of Personal Repentance and Repentance 32:00 - Attitude to Baptism and Church Traditions 35:00 - Conflict with Alexander Shevchenko 37:00 - Questions of Faith, Doubt, and Spiritual Searching 40:00 - God as an All-Encompassing Being 43:00 - Ruslan's Work in the US Judicial System 45:00 - Quick Questions: Values, Authorities, Books 48:00 - How Ruslan Understands and Feels God 51:00 - Final Thoughts and Wishes for the Viewers
