Helping Our Kids Understand Worldview Matters

Episode Summary. Rod Dreher, in his book, The Benedict Option, insists that currently the culture is shaping the next generation in dramatic ways—even shaping their faith, instead of their faith shaping their thinking about culture. Our agenda, therefore, for raising up the next generation must include intentionally countering the dominant misguided worldviews of the culture and helping them see the much more captivating, inviting, and logical worldviews of Scripture. This episode examines an approach to countering the world’s influence today that is failing, before we consider four aspects of a biblical approach to the “world” that we need to take with our loved ones walking beside us.

1. In your own words, why is separation from secular culture the wrong approach to protect ourselves, as Christians, from being shaped by it?
2. Which of the four biblical approaches most stood out to you?) (seeing your role against the backdrop of the 4-chapter gospel, understanding that we are saved to be a blessing to our culture, recognizing that God designed us for this cultural moment, 4) understanding that it is the battlefield of worldviews, which shape our culture upon which we must fight.
3. What would you say to a youth group about the biblical worldview of sex?
