What happens when hip hop, art, and apologetics collide? In this conversation, I sit down with Troy Lydiate—better known as Scribe Music—to talk about how art shapes culture, how the church has often struggled to engage with it, and why beauty and creativity matter for apologetics. We explore the tension between the sacred and the secular, the prophetic voice of hip hop in society, and how the church can learn to listen and speak more faithfully in the culture. Troy Lydiate is the Creative Director at Apologetics Canada, where he also serves as host of “The AC Podcast.” As a graduate of Providence University with a Bachelor’s Degree focused on Social Sciences, much of Troy’s professional career has been spent working with youth and young adults. Operating under the artistic moniker Scribe Music, Troy has unveiled four studio albums, skillfully utilizing his music as a conduit to convey the gospel message. His music production has garnered him nominations at the GMA (Covenant Awards), further complemented by widespread recognition through blog features and regular airplay on Canadian Christian radio.Personal Website/Writing: https://www.ryleyheppner.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryleyhepp/Apologetics Canada: https://apologeticscanada.com/ryley-heppner/Outreach Speakers: https://outreachspeakers.com/ryley-heppner
