Do I spend the entire math class talking about the nature of God?  Developing the discernment required to properly employ micro and macro propositions within our classrooms is the key to immersing our students in Biblical truth.

Are you ready to have your students move into your house with you?  Don't worry--that's not going to happen.  But, the concept of "pedagogium", teachers and students experiencing life and learning together, is the starting point of today's discussion.

The key to shaping our heart's desires is "taking charge of our diets"...meaning, our information diets.  How do we help students shape the spiritual disciplines that will ultimately serve to frame worldview?

Do I have a true Biblical worldview?  Personal reflection is where we started to assess our own worldview and then commit to meaningful processing directed towards maturing our worldview.

G describes Beyond Biblical Integration's chapter 5 as the "nuts and bolts" of Biblical worldview formation.  The discussion in today's episode includes wordy soundbites, LOTR memes, and, most importantly, the 3-D orientation of the heart and how each of those dimension play collectively into worldview formation.

Author Roger Erdvig unpacks the "two-story view of reality" that was developed by Francis Schaeffer.  As part of this analogy, Schaeffer describes the world of facts, objectivity, and concrete observations as the first story in a home.  As an extension of this way of thinking, religion, beliefs about God and His creation, morality, and subjective values get sent upstairs to the second floor.  Too often, this binary view of reality has infiltrated families, churches, and classrooms.  How do we fix it?

As Erdvig and G get into the first two chapters of Erdvig's "Beyond Biblical Integration" from Summit Ministries, they discuss the "Dunning-Kruger Effect" and the risks of being disintegrated.

In the debut episode of Northwest Christian School's Frameworks podcast, "Off the Page Book Club", Chris Gardiner begins a conversation with author Dr. Roger Erdvig.  Erdvig has written "Beyond Biblical Immersion", a 2020 title published by Summit Ministries.  In this episode, Gardiner and Erdvig set the stage for understanding how we can move beyond Biblical integration and towards what Erdvig has called 'true Biblical immersion'.
