"Fam, I love Superman. He is the kindest, most loving, most thoughtful superhero in all of media... He has consistently been a metaphor for what it means to be your best self. To be a god."
To celebrate the new Superman movie, Rodney dedicates an entire episode to the myth of the Man of Steel. In this episode, Rodney explores exactly what Superman means to him – what he represents, his legacy, complexity, and what makes Superman so special. As you listen, you will learn how Superman has influenced 'The Young God' idea.
Rodney also uses Superman as an opportunity to talk about what it truly means to be strong, as well as what it means to serve. He even draws parallels between Superman and Jesus in a most unprecedented fashion. In true young god fashion, Rodney challenges the listener to see themselves as a hero and to develop their 'superpowers' in service of God and others.
This episode is yet another reminder about the power of storytelling and what the characters we look up to say about us. Brace yourself as you listen, because Rodney goes to all kinds of places to weave a tapestry of what it means to be a hero in a world that desperately needs heroes... and hope.
