It is an in-depth study into 13 truths that have the power to transform individuals and cultures.Download the Development Ethic, for free, on our website: The Development Ethic: Hope for a Culture of Poverty – Disciple Nations Alliance

This episode hits on a gold mine of relevant worldview topics, including the worldview of ideological social justice, the importance of the individual, God's beautiful plan for diversity, what is biblical community, and more. 

Why is a biblical worldview integral to a true education? Can you separate truth from education? Is there such a thing as a neutral education devoid of an underlying worldview?These questions and more are covered in this interview with Christian Overman. Christain is a lifelong educator and worldview trainer who has wrestled with questions such as these his entire career. This conversation is tremendously relevant for our current state of affairs in 2021. 

For this episode, Shawn had the opportunity to interview Andrea Schuitema a Kingdomizer working in Latin America. Listen to how Andrea and her team are practically incorporating what they have learned from Coram Deo into their powerful ministry. Andrea works for Orphan Helpers, a ministry dedicated to equipping abandoned, incarcerated, and at-risk youth for success by serving their physical, spiritual, educational, and emotional needs.

In this episode initially recorded on June 12th of last year, we covered how to approach poverty relief effectively. Our guest, Ena Richards, is a long-term friend and trainer of the DNA. She is the founder and president of Work-4 a Living, an organization dedicated to poverty relief through redeeming the dignity of work. 

In this episode initially recorded on June 10th of last year, we found it fitting to break down the growing race frenzy in America. Over a year later, we still hear phrases like systemic racism, critical race theory, and so on echoing through our cultures. This worldview analysis with Scott and Bob Osborn is a needed discussion for our churches, cultures, and nations. 

The core messages of the DNA we cover in this episode are first Jesus is King, second His primary agenda is to advance the Kingdom of God, third this advancement comes by making disciples of all nations, fourth His key agent in this task is the local church, and finally, the ministry of the church must be holistic.The passion these men have for biblical worldview is clearly seen in this episode as they share their testimonies when it comes to worldview.  Find out more on these core messages on our website in a paper titled, Our Foundation: Seven Fundamental Truths (Our Foundation – Disciple Nations Alliance).  Also, please follow this podcast and share it with your friends!

God purposefully created both male and female with beautifully unique characteristics.⠀⠀In the last two DNA Lives we looked at God's grand design for women and this Friday we will shift the conversation to God's design for men. ⠀⠀Our three esteemed guests this week bring perspectives on God's unique design for men and fathers from around the world. Samuel Felix from Brazil, Jitendra "Jitu" Dongardive from Spain, and Nelson Monteiro from Canada. ⠀

This extended portion of part 2 of God's Grand Design For Women. For those of you who enjoyed part 2, here is an extra hour of discussion with these three kingdomizers. Listen in as we continue looking at God's beautiful purpose for single women and singleness in general in the body of Christ!

For part 2 of God's Grand Design For Women, we will be specifically looking at God's beautiful purpose for single women in the body of Christ. Too often our cultures and churches tell women that marriage is the goal instead of a role. Listen to the wisdom these three godly women have to share on the strong role that singleness plays in the church. 

God gave both men and women uniquely beautiful characteristics and roles. In this episode, we discuss God's design for women, wives, and mothers. As well as comparing and contrasting that message with what the culture is telling women.

One of the most profound and destructive lies in the world is that men are superior to women. In this episode, we unpack what it means to be male and female? What does it mean to be distinctly unique yet equal in dignity, value, and worth in God's eye? We live in a broken world where our personal and family lives are being shattered. Modern and postmodern worldviews have led to sexual license and this license has led to being enslaved to our lusts. 

Darrow Miller has a new book coming out titled, "Don't Let Schooling Stand in the Way of Education".In light of this focus on education, we invited our good friends Christian Overman and Elizabeth Youmans to the show. Both Christian and Elizabeth have dedicated their lives to incorporating biblical worldview into the classroom. As we expected, with a packed house of wisdom in the area of education, the discussion took off!
