Hey Culture
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.

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.

018. Is Philosophy Relevant? | Dr. Richard G. Howe
Dr. Richard G. Howe, provost and a noted expert in Christian philosophy, dives into the relevance of philosophy today. He discusses how it aids in addressing life's big questions and enhances critical thinking within a faith context. The conversation touches on the often contentious relationship between Christianity and philosophy, and how contemporary philosophical trends influence beliefs about truth and morality. Howe also explores the impact of classical metaphysics on Christian doctrine, encouraging more profound engagement with philosophical ideas.

017. Christian Special Forces | Classical Virtues | Dr. Thomas McCuddy & Thomas Quackenbush
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.

And can we really trust the media or should we avoid the news and politics altogether. Joining me on this episode is host of Morning Shot, Byron.

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

011. Marxism, the roots and the branches! | Dr. Ray Ciervo
Did Karl Marx worship Satan? Was he truly a hero of the working class? Did his ideas benefit the world? Or was Marx's socialism and communism never implemented correctly, so a Utopia could still be ushered in? Dr. Ray Ciervo joins me in this episode to look at Marx the man, the origin of his idea, and how it was developed through the years. This is an overview of Marxism, Communism, and Socialism.
