279: Rodney Olsen and Kicking at the Darkness

Rodney Olsen is a husband, father, cyclist, blogger and podcaster. Today, Rodney shares the moment he knew he wanted to be in radio, the somewhat meandering path he took to get there, and the providential meeting that sealed the deal. Rodney is passionate about helping believers anchor their faith in Christ with a Kingdom view of the world. His story will remind you to take action against the darkness. Oh, there’s a cool Bruck Cockburn reference in there, too.

Listen to Rodney’s story today!

Stories Rodney shared:

Why he started his podcast, Bleeding Daylight
Growing up in Western Australia
His dad’s faith and why he abandoned it
Giving his life to Christ at a church camp
Studying to be a chef
Moving to Christian radio
How the Lord puts things in our hearts to do
How his radio station brought people to the Lord
Why we need not fear the dark night of the soul
The poverty that Compassion fights around the world

Great quotes from Rodney:

We can be a whole lot more than we imagine if we follow Jesus’ lead.

If you’re going to go deep-diving into faith, you’ve got to have an anchor.
