    Ivy Insights

    The Talks with Dad Rod podcast is an incredible resource for believers who are seeking conversational theology and honest discussions on various topics. It has been described as mini White Horse Inn episodes, where the conversations address the monologue in one's mind. This podcast stands out for its ability to relate to any believer and consistently preach Christ, no matter the topic being discussed. Each episode delivers bite-sized nuggets of solid theological content that leaves listeners satiated with the Gospel.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to circle back to Christ in every discussion. No matter the topic, whether it be Lutheran theology or Christianity in general, Dad Rod ensures that Christ is central to the conversation. Listeners can count on hearing the Gospel preached and find comfort in knowing that they will be nourished by these bite-sized nuggets mid-week. The hosts have a talent for explaining complex theological concepts in a way that truly clicks with their audience, making it accessible and relatable for both new and seasoned believers alike.

    However, one downside to this podcast is its length. Some listeners express a desire for longer episodes, craving more of Dad Rod's teachings and fatherly advice. They appreciate his compassionate demeanor and find his care for others evident in every word he speaks. The desire for longer episodes stems from wanting more wisdom and guidance from him to become better Christians, fathers, and friends. While the current format of shorter episodes may work well as snackable content during the week, there is a longing for deeper dives into certain topics.

    In conclusion, The Talks with Dad Rod podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking conversational theology and honest discussions about faith. The ability of this podcast to consistently bring important words and ideas that speak directly to the heart is commendable. Alongside daily scripture reading, prayer, and devotion, this podcast serves as another tool to constantly point listeners back to Christ and what He has done for them. Despite the longing for longer episodes, the value and impact of this podcast on listeners' faith journeys cannot be overstated. Thank you to Dad Rod and the team at 1517 for all their teaching and for being a blessing in the lives of many.

    Ted borrows a question from a hymn title that asks why Jesus has to die, as if He sinned. Rod talks about how the Bible testifies throughout that Jesus, the Spotless Lamb, would come to take our punishment in our place, and how Scripture affirms that Jesus' sacrifice was the only way to save us.
