Why Art Matters - Ron Dodson - The MakeReady Podcast #15

In this episode of the MakeReady Podcast, we sit down with Ron Dodson to explore how beauty, truth, and craftsmanship reflect the heart of God.

From Norm Macdonald to Monet, from ancient philosophy to modern video games, Ron unpacks how good art doesn’t just entertain—it teaches, challenges, and calls us to evaluate what is true, beautiful, and worth building. We also dive into the dangers of cultural isolationism, the purpose of training our children as moral agents, and why biblical masculinity must be forged in the real world, not sheltered from it.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the role of pop culture, wondered how Christians should engage with art, or wanted a deeper understanding of your place in the Kingdom, this episode will inspire you to see creation—and your calling—through a more thoughtful and theologically rich lens.
