Hey Culture
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.

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

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