So here we are with another episode of After the Fact with the Knowing Faith Podcast.

This is J.T. English, I'm here with Kyle Worley.

After the fact we just do some quick questions for practical tips related to the Bible, theology, and

spiritual formation.

Kyle, I've got a question for you.

Yep.

If our listeners are struggling to think through like not just this cultural moment, but like philosophy

and history of ideas, it's something they've never done before.

What is some practical tips you could give to somebody to help make sense of philosophy,

culture, and kind of understanding this culture moment?

Yeah, okay. Well, so it can feel... understanding this

Culture moment. Yeah, okay. Well, so it can feel a little bit like, wow, there's the sea of ideas. I feel like

people are talking about big ideas all the time, and I don't really know where any of these ideas started.

And how do I enter in?

How do I enter in?

Because it just feels like, man, this is a conversation that's been going on for so long that's right and it can feel

often like wow they're it seems like all of the relevant voices or the voices that you're

kind of following or the people who are publishing books or your professors at school, it can feel like,

wow, they all know all of this stuff. Now oftentimes that's really just a figment.

You have a lot of people who know bits and pieces because nobody can know all things, right?

But when you begin to try to interact with the history of ideas, I often tell people it's best to kind of take that reformation

mantra of Advantus, go back to the sources, and try to go to some primary source material.
