Episode Synopsis


Joel, Stu and Tim continue to review the culture of 2010s and 2020s, this time through the lens of Kanye West (now known as Ye). They explore if Christians should embrace or critique the ideas Kanye raises through his music of power, consumerism, wealth, materialism and mental health while also being wary of syncretising culture. There is always though, the unchanging nature of God and how He helps us to have conversations around such prevalent issues.03:24 Cultural Artefact: Kanye's Sunday Service Choir06:16 Background on Kanye West15:07 Displays of power and anti-institutionalism19:42 Being wary of syncretising culture23:48 Kanye's shifts with culture and mental health29:15 Kanye's Christianity36:25 How consumerism plays out in Australian society41:39 How do we have conversations about such issues?1:00:03 God remains the sameDISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODEPolyphonic channelHow Kanye West Shaped the 2010s, by PolyphonicWhat is Kanye West's Sunday Service?Kanye interrupts Taylor Swift at 2009 MTV VMAsThe Rise and Fall of Mars HillIan HusseyDon't Waste Your Life, by John PiperAustralia II wins America's CupPsalm 73John D.
