Religion EN ↓ 33 episodes

I am Ryno Fermor, CEO of SALA npc (Salt and Light Africa Missions). As an extension of our vision to be SALT and LIGHT, we have launched Hey Culture to engage with ideas that have an impact on people's lives. Ideas have consequences. Topics discussed are worldviews, philosophy, religion, truth, art, and politics. Socrates said: "The unexamined life is not worth living." This implies that a meaningful and worthy life is an examined one. C.S. Lewis said: "Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason because bad philosophy needs to be answered." Join us in evaluating life and ideas.

030. Carl Jung, Jordan Peterson, & Charlie Kirk | Meaning and Truth | Thomas Quackenbush 11.09.2025

We live in a time of meaninglessness where leftists and relativists care more about ideology than human lives. Carl Jung would point to how it reveals their shadow (human sinfulness, depravity).

We talk about archetypes and shared unc...

026. Evidence for the Old Testament from Archeology | Dr. Kristen Davis 25.05.2025

Is the Bible relaible? It makes many historical claims in its narratives. As the Old Testament spans over thousands of years one has a near possible task of being accurate with historical facts relating to economy, population, regions, etc. if you are making it up. The evidence illustrates that it was not made up. Dr. Kristen Davis joins me in this episode to discuss the archeological evidence for...

025. The Argument from Desire/Joy | Dr. Carey Walton 09.05.2025

024. Is Beauty in the Eye of the Beholder? | Dr. Carey Walton 18.04.2025

In modern times people view beauty as purely subjective and that the subject (person viewing the object) decides what beautiful to them.

020. Imannuel Kant has influenced your life more than Jesus Christ | Dr. Richard G. Howe 24.01.2025

Immanuel Kant greatly impacted the world's philosophy and thought life. One historian says that all philosophy post-Kant is an answer to Kant. It is controversial to say that his impact was greater than that of Christ, but that is merely to point people in the West are more confirmed to Kant's philosophy than Jesus' teachings. Dr. Richard G. Howe joins me in unpacking this further. Dr....

Christians should be salt and light and have an impact on the world, but these days they are ill-equipped, according to Dr. McCuddy and Mr. Quackenbush this is because of a lack of virtue.    More about Families of Virtue: https://familiesofvirtue.com  https://www.classicalvirtueacademy.com      SALA (Salt and Light Africa): https://salamissions.africa/wp     Apologetics SA Conference: https://apo...

016 | Left vs Right, Christian Nationalism, and the Media | Does Politics Even Matter | Morning Shot 30.10.2024

Politics and ideas like Christian Nationalism are in many circles controversial. The culture war is a hot button topic. Have you ever wondered what left wing and right wing really means?

012. The African Worldview, Ancestors, and Spirituality (A.T.R.) | Hendrik le Roux 06.09.2024

One of the most liveable worldviews, certainly more so than naturalistic atheism. African Traditional Religion has a deistic view of God and they believe in a spiritual realm that has an influence on the physical plain. Back on today's episode to discuss the African Traditional Worldview is E.T.S. co-founder and Bible College lecturer, Hendrik le Roux. Equip To Serve:https://equiptoserve.co.za...

010. Star Wars, Nirvana, and the East (Pantheistic Monism) | Dr. Thomas McCuddy 09.08.2024

The East differs a lot from the West. Like a drop going back to the ocean a sense of nirvana is achieved. But is true? Is everything connected and is everything god? Dr. Thomas McCuddy is back on Hey Culture to speak on his time in Nepal and his first hand encounters with Eastern Pantheistic Monism.   More about Dr. Thomas McCuddy and Families of Virtue: https://familiesofvirtue.com     https://ww...

009. Despair, Meaninglessness, and the Antidote (Existentialism Part 2) | Thomas Quackenbush 28.07.2024

Atheism took existentialism from Christianity (Kierkegaard) but removed God as the foundation. This leads to despair always lurking and crouching at the door.
