3 OCT 2024 · Episode 22: What is the value of art?
It’s been said that Art can be a Mirror or a Window to Society. Revealing deep truths about ourselves and reality. And so art plays an important prophetic role in shaping cultural conversations and bringing to life stories, themes and ideas that matter. And so for this episode we’re going to be talking with a couple of talented and thoughtful local artists. Together we chat all things art and culture and want to give you an insight into the life of an artist, and whether we, as a society, place value and importance on the practice and process of creating.

5 SEP 2024 · Episode 21: Is meaning overrated?
In 2021, 38.9% of respondents to the census declared themselves to be https://www.abs.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/2021-census-shows-changes-australias-religious-diversity. That was almost 10 million people. You might also have heard about “the meaning crisis” Some secular thinkers like John Vervaeke have been exploring the void of anxiety and emptiness since around 2017. Many thinkers in this “meaning crisis” movement have explored Eastern religions and other philosophies to find a way to quench that thirst for meaning.
But what if there was another way to think about meaning? What if meaning was just overrated? Do we ascribe meaning to things we don’t need to? Is there a surplus rather than a deficit of meaning? To explore this question, we reached out to https://www.wendysyfret.com/, author of “The Sunny Nihilist: how a meaningless life can make you truly happy”. She has some interesting ideas that we can all benefit from, regardless of whether we are religious or of 'no religion'.

1 AUG 2024 · Episode 20: "Are we taking freedom for granted?" with Lyndsey Stonebridge
In the previous episode we talked about the fragile state of Democracy, and we’ll be continuing many of those themes in today’s episode, almost like a Part 2. But rather than talking through the lens of US politics, we’re going to completely change tact and talk through the lens of human rights. And to do that we’ll be channeling and discussing one of the most prominent political philosophers of the 20th century; Hannah Arendt - The Jewish philosopher who fled the holocaust to become one the most influential writers and thinkers of the 20th century.
For this conversation we have someone uniquely positioned to think in the place of Arendt, who offers us wisdom and insight for an unstable moment. https://lyndseystonebridge.com/ is a writer, critic, and Professor of Humanities and Human Rights at the University of Birmingham in the UK. She works across traditional disciplines, bringing literary and historical insights to law and political theory. She has followed the work of philosopher Hannah Arendt for over 30 years and recently wrote a beautiful biography titled https://www.amazon.co.uk/Are-Free-Change-World-Disobedience/dp/1787332527/ref=asc_df_1787332527/?hvadid=651146161855&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006565&hvnetw=g&hvpone=&hvpos=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvrand=5591878172280474641&hvtargid=pla-2194534361747&linkCode=df0&mcid=1083c66c901531ee8e2f3db28bb6e427&psc=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&th=1 which is an enthralling journey into the life and mind of Hannah Arendt.

4 JUL 2024 · Episode 19: "Will Democracy Survive 2024?"
2024 has been an incredibly historic year for democracy around the world. https://theconversation.com/more-than-4-billion-people-are-eligible-to-vote-in-an-election-in-2024-is-this-democracys-biggest-test-220837 in various elections across more than 40 countries. And yet, one country will likely overshadow all of these global elections; The US election on Tuesday, November 5th 2024. Everyone will be watching, everyone will have an opinion*, and no one knows what will happen.
To guide us through this episode we’re talking with New York Times columnist, David French. He has an acute level of awareness when it comes to understanding the complexities of American Politics, Law, and Evangelicalism. We discuss some of the defining factors of the Presidential Race in 2024**, his experience as a ‘Never Trump’ conservative, and the potential dangers of a second Trump term.

*My views aren’t necessarily representative of all views within my organisation.
**This episode was recorded and produced mid 2024. The campaign news cycle is starting to gather breakneck speed, and there have been some massive developments in the last few weeks (including the Supreme Court decision/case aptly called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_v._United_States_(2024)) which have raised the temperature and the alarm even more. No doubt there’ll be other cosmic shifts ahead.

23 NOV 2023 · Episode 18: “Whatever happened to New Atheism?" (Season Finale)
Around the mid 2000s atheism became sexy. It was everywhere. Headlined by Richard Dawkins and the other ‘four horsemen’ of New Atheism; Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett. They -and many other public atheists- were dominating best seller lists, YouTube algorithms and making news with their witty and swashbuckling commentary. But it seems like those days have moved on pretty quick. We only really hear about Richard Dawkins now when he’s being cancelled, and atheism hasn’t really risen at all when you look at the numbers. So what happened to New Atheism, and what could be taking its place?
Well, for our final episode of season 1, we’re delighted to have Justin Brierley joining us from the UK. Thanks to his popular https://www.premierunbelievable.com/ which brought (and still brings) prominent Christians and sceptics together for dialogue, he was able to have a ringside seat to many of the proponents and arguments of New Atheism. His new book ‘https://justinbrierley.com/the-surprising-rebirth-of-belief-in-god/ covers the downfall of the movement along with the cultural shift that seems to be happening. You can also https://justinbrierley.com/surprisingrebirth/, you won't regret it.

16 NOV 2023 · Episode 17: “How do we find our voice?"
Deeper Questions is a show that seeks to explore a vast array of topics and experiences in the spirit of curiosity and listening. This exploration will sometimes include heavy and uncomfortable themes that may shake us up and affect us in important ways, but they may also change us for the better. For this episode we have a very special guest joining us - the one and only https://www.gracetame.com.au/. We spend the episode zigging and zagging through some of her experiences and reflections on life. I find her voice refreshing and something that can help us find ours in the midst of adversity and trials. Very thankful for her honesty and openness here.
Since being announced Australian of the Year in January 2021, Grace has become a household name as a brave and passionate advocate for a number of important social causes, but especially for the systemic change to prevent child sexual abuse. https://www.thegracetamefoundation.org.au/ works with government, not-for-profits, legal experts and educators to improve protections in legislation and to inform and educate people in our communities about sexual abuse and survivor issues. She’s also written a memoir https://www.panmacmillan.com.au/9781760988050/ which we discuss at length here.
*Warning: This episode contains references to the sexual abuse and assault of minors, trauma, and other graphic content which some listeners may find distressing. Resources are available below if you’d like to talk to someone.

12 OCT 2023 · Episode 16: "What does healthy masculinity look like?" with Al Stewart
The last 50-60 years have brought unprecedented change when it comes to understanding, and re-writing our understanding, of gender roles in society. Today’s episode is not so much going to look at all the aspects of gender we could cover, but we want to zero in on manhood and masculinity. Being a man has always brought a range of advantages and power dynamics that we’re coming to understand more and more, but there also challenges that we’d do well to try and dig into as well.
Today we have Al Stewart who has recently written a book on masculinity, called https://www.amazon.com.au/Manual-Getting-Masculinity-Right/dp/1925424715/ref=asc_df_1925424715/?tag=googleshopdsk-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=632418657720&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10664071573069521823&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9072335&hvtargid=pla-1833943346140&psc=1. I’m privileged to call him a friend and someone that I’ve admired and worked alongside over my time with Third Space and City Bible Forum. He’s currently the director of the https://fiec.org.au, and has extensive experience in Christian ministry. We don’t tend to get pastors on this show much, but he’s learnt a lot about blokes over the last few decades, and has plenty of great insights.

5 OCT 2023 · Episode 15: "Can trees save the world?"
When people think of climate change I imagine they think of the smog and smoke pouring into the atmosphere as we burn fossil fuels to power our cities, cars, and lifestyles. And you would be right. But perhaps an understated accelerant is the loss of vast forest ecosystems which are often destroyed for agriculture, housing development, and the forestry industry. Not only are trees a vital source of oxygen that ensures we can breathe the breath of life, but they are also one of our most powerful defences against climate change. The original carbon capture technology immaculately designed by the first agronomist.
Speaking of agronomists, today we have Tony Rinaudo joining us. Also known as 'The Forestmaker'. Tony works for https://www.worldvision.org/ and has been a force in the climate change story. He worked in Niger for a couple of decades helping farmers with work with nature to restore native forest land, and to grow enough food to support their local communities. His focus has been in Africa, but his work is going global, thanks to a strategy called ‘Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration’ which well get to. In 2018 he won the https://rightlivelihood.org/ (Alternate Nobel Prize) "for demonstrating on a large scale how drylands can be greened at minimal cost, improving the livelihoods of millions of people".

28 SEP 2023 · Episode 14: "Who am I?"
We know more about ourselves than ever before, we can get a DNA sample to 23 and me and discover extensive information about our biological family and our own physical characteristics. We can develop an online persona for a cluster of social media platforms and present ourselves any way we want. But how can we know who we really are?

21 SEP 2023 · Episode 13: "What's your favourite drink (and why is it single malt whisky)?"
Sometimes on Deeper Questions there’ll be niche, and then there’ll be next level niche like today. Digging into a topic that is ridiculously particular and concentrated where you might come in knowing absolutely nothing of what we’re talking about. Well if that’s you today then don’t worry! I think we manage to handle it in a way that caters to people with no prior knowledge, people that associate whisky with ‘that unnatural burning sensation in my throat and chest’ - as well as some juicy bits for those who have a decent top shelf when it comes to whisky.
Today we have Jane Overeem, the co-owner of https://overeemwhisky.com/, as well as Bec Polmear, the co-founder at https://waubsharbourwhisky.com/. Both distilleries have been recognised on the world stage with Overeem taking home awards from the World Whiskies awards in 2019, and a gold medal in 2023 for their Port Cask. Waubs Harbour are new to the scene and have been recognised almost immediately, winning a master medal and two gold medals at the World Whisky masters 2023.
