    In this video, I unpack why only 1 in 10 Christians actually hold a biblical worldview — and what we must do to change that.From worship trends that look more like concerts than Christ-centered gatherings to sermons quoting Kendrick Lamar and Avengers-themed Easter services… it's clear the culture is shaping the church more than the Word of God, and this MUST change. The change starts with us renewing our minds and thinking biblically.
