The Rodcast

Join Pastor Rod and special guest; Japanese pastor Tasuke Nakaoka from Tokyo, Japan as they explore the rich history of Japan’s samurai culture and how this intertwines with how they share the Gospel today. Drawing from Bushido: The Samurai Code of Japan (武士道) by Inazō Nitobe, they unpack timeless samurai principles—honor, loyalty, discipline—and how these values shape the way the message of Jesus is shared in Japan today. Learn how the kind and polite nature of the Japanese people opens unique doors for ministry, faith and discipleship.
