The Western world has been described as a cut flower. This flower was beautiful and flourishing while rooted in a Judeo-Christian worldview, and yet, as it became increasingly secular and rejected God, it cut itself off from its roots. Today, the flower still looks good, but it will soon wither and die if nothing changes. In this episode, we look at the increasing number of former atheists, Muslims, and agnostics who are calling out the erosion of Western civilization along with its former values of human rights, justice, and freedom. These people–including Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Tom Holland, and more–are understanding that these Western values came from the Bible.If Western society rejects God, it will also lose the virtuous and moral framework that created its foundation. This realization is leading to an awakening. It is a unique journey that has led people from an analysis of the culture and the West to the cross.Join us as we unpack the roots that nourished the West. We consider the incredibly good impact the Bible can have on culture and the devastation we can anticipate when it's rejected. We live in a pivotal moment in history. The consequences of rejecting God are evident in our society, providing us with a fresh opportunity to promote goodness, truth, and beauty, rooted in the Bible once again.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website
Today, we're thrilled to have esteemed guest J. Richard Middleton. We dive into an engaging exploration of the Biblical stories of Abraham and Isaac. We'll delve into the complexities of silence in these narratives, question the traditional interpretations of obedience and love for God, and look at the intergenerational effects on Jacob's family. In this episode, we'll carefully untangle the controversial aspects of Abraham's sacrifice and the consequences of his decisions. We will also discuss the concept of a 'happily-ever-after,' hinting at the tragic aftermath of these iconic narratives. Exploring the practical methodology of lamentation in Biblical texts and the role of expressing one's grief and suffering, we'll identify how we can learn from these Biblical figures' lives and experiences. Finally, let's venture into a discussion on the silence of God in the Bible, its implication in our relationships, and how it impacts our sense of faith.J. Richard Middleton is a professor of Biblical Worldview and Exegesis at Northeastern Seminary and an adjunct professor of Theology at Roberts Wesleyan College, both in Rochester, New York. He is widely published in religious journals and is the author of four books, including Abraham's Silence: The Binding of Isaac, the Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God, and A New Heaven and a New Earth: Reclaiming Biblical Eschatology.---00:00 Struggle with silence brings unexpected amusement.07:28 Father and son head to sacrifice, and the angel intervenes.14:02 Abraham's faith was tested, and love for his son was questioned.19:24 Abraham believes God will provide sacrifice.25:35 Abraham's journey from paganism to faith.29:55 Abraham fails the test, new test: son sacrificed.36:23 Servant finds wife, Isaac deceived, blessings given.40:07 Genesis 18's misunderstood invitation leads to change.48:17 Psalm 32: acknowledgment of sin, physical waste.52:00 Various lament psalms serve as confessions of sin in our church.56:02 Silence toward God affects life's moral implications.01:02:35 Why harm him?

Raising your child is an exciting opportunity to influence a life, but it is also a daunting assignment. Based on extensive national research, George Barna outlines a biblical approach to raising children with the “Seven Cornerstones of a Biblical Worldview.” Raising Spiritual Champions book is available HERE https://www.swrc.com/raising-spiritual-champions.html
By Rick Shabi in Cincinnati East, OH - November 18, 2023 - The society we live in is changing at a rapid rate. We hear concepts that are foreign to us and we no longer know what our children are being taught at school, by their friends, or on the internet. In this age of changing values and a changing "worldview" Christians and our children are at risk. What must we do to safeguard our hearts and our children so they grow up as the "Godly offspring" God desires? Why is understanding and instilling a biblical worldview so crucial for us today?
Most adolescents reject a biblical worldview Christian Post, by Ryan Foley, on Oct. 23 2023, https://www.christianpost.com/news/most-kids-dont-believe-cornerstone-beliefs-of-biblical-worldview.htmlThe Non-Prophets, Episode 22.45.4 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Cindy Plaza, Jimmy Jr. and Aaron JensenTo start, Jimmy Jr. shares a study indicating that only 3% of kids aged 8 to 12 embrace all seven cornerstones of a Biblical worldview. These cornerstones include beliefs in God, sin, and trusting the Bible. The panelists, including Kelley, Cindy, Jimmy, and Aaron, express their thoughts on the study.Kelley emphasizes the harmful aspect of the belief that individuals are sinners by choice, calling it illogical and damaging on a psychological level. He highlights the victim-blaming aspect, sharing a personal experience of someone being harmed due to their parents' religious beliefs.Cindy criticizes the indoctrination of religion in children, suggesting that forbidding religious teachings before the age of 18 could lead to the disappearance of religion in a couple of generations. She advocates for protecting children by providing them access to diverse education, making it more palatable and accessible.Jimmy critiques the inconsistency in religious teachings and notes that children, exposed to a variety of ideas through the internet, are recognizing these inconsistencies. He believes the internet plays a significant role in exposing children to different perspectives and contributing to their departure from religious beliefs.Aaron attributes the decline in religious adherence to increased knowledge and education. He mentions the impact of the internet in challenging dogmatic beliefs and praises the trend towards considering oneself spiritual rather than strictly religious. The panelists collectively express optimism about the decreasing influence of religion, citing better education and exposure to diverse ideas as key factors.Aaron shares a nuanced perspective on the study's findings, acknowledging that while the numbers aren't as low as he'd prefer, he finds encouragement in the overall decline of adherence to traditional beliefs. He specifically notes his concern about the 69% who still believe in God, expressing a wish for a lower percentage and highlighting the lack of evidence for God's existence. Despite this concern, Aaron remains optimistic, drawing inspiration from historical trends where truth has prevailed over time.In summary, the panelists believe that children are increasingly rejecting traditional religious teachings due to better education, exposure to diverse perspectives through the internet, and a recognition of the inconsistencies in religious dogma. They emphasize the need to protect children from harmful beliefs and promote accessible education. The overall tone is optimistic about the evolving landscape of religious beliefs.

Guest: Dr. Jeremiah Johnston, Dean of Spiritual Development at PCA and Associate Pastor of Apologetics & Cultural Engagement at Prestonwood Baptist Church The Jewish people were chosen and given land by God. Not only is this land under dispute, but the very existence of the Jews is under attack today! The Palestinian chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is not simply a call to throw off unwanted oppression from the nation of Israel, but is a call for genocide - the elimination and extinction of the Jewish people. Ideas have consequences, bad ideas have victims. The Khartoum Resolution was put forth in September 1967 and is best known for the “Three Noes” - no recognition, no negotiation, no peace. Many have made this observation: if Israel laid down their weapons, the people of Israel would be eliminated; but if Palestine laid down their weapons, there would be peace in the Middle East. As Christians, we need to be asking what are the worldviews that are driving each side of this conflict and why are they using force - to protect people or to eliminate them? Check out some recent materials that Dr. Jeremiah Johnston helped produce to help us understand this issue: God's Love for Israel and the Jewish People By Jeremiah J.

Thankfulness is a focus in many American homes in the month of November. But have you ever considered that thankfulness is not a universally valued characteristic? Not to mention that the amount of gratitude we see on a daily basis actually seems to be decreasing today. How does one's sense of privilege or status result in a lack of gratitude toward others? How does belief in the significance of each person's life cultivate gratitude within a person? Does belief in the goodness and sovereignty of God inspire thankfulness in the midst of trying times?Our office team gathered together to reflect on these questions and share our favorite biblical passages about the priority and results of thankfulness in the Christian life. We discussed why the biblical worldview places such an emphasis on gratitude, and contrasted this with different worldviews. In conclusion, we considered how essential thankfulness is for building thriving, flourishing cultures in families, communities, and nations.

Before Christ, we seek the world's wisdom only to be greeted by its ugly counterpart: folly. What do we find when we hold a worldly worldview? Odd hypotheses. Conflated concepts and issues. Constant contradictions. Lies and deception. The world tries to lure you in and entice you like a hypnotic snake. (Where have we seen that before?!) JOIN US as we interview ROBBY LASHUA, APOLOGIST at STAND TO REASON as he educates us on what in the world is a worldview in the first place, what is a Biblical worldview, how we get one… and once we have one, how do we keep it?

Postcolonialism is a hot topic these days as many groups are eager to divide us up into oppressors and the oppressed–but do these categories help? Young and influential Zambian writer and speaker Lennox Kalifungwa says that there is much more to be considered than ethnicity, culture, and nationality. If we want true freedom and flourishing as individuals and societies, we need to promote truth, beauty, and goodness, looking beyond worldly categories that perpetuate brokenness and victimhood. There is no short-changing the effort it takes to move beyond the syncretism that is found in churches around the world.

Join Ken and Betsey in a review of current headlines. Betsey begins with a review of Ken's compelling conversation with David Dark. Congress finally has a Speaker of the House. Fears that Jim Jordan might get the gavel left them relieved when Jordan was defeated after grueling three votes. But the new Republican Speaker of the House, a relative unknown up until now, may appear to be a more pleasant, civil version of what may have been. On further inspection, Johnson's ultra-conservative track record reveals that he is an election denier and a pernicious Trump supporter who vehemently opposes same-sex marriage and abortion rights. He and Jordan have been close friends and champions of the extreme right. According to Mike Johnson, it's all rooted in a "biblical world view." Ken and Betsey take issue. Hate crimes are on the rise as narratives clash both in the Israeli/Palestinian War and on the floor of Congress.Martyn Whittock's Review in the Washington Post | Ken's Interview with MWSupport the show

We develop our way of looking at the world—our worldview—before we turn 13. Remarkably, new research finds that fewer than one in ten parents think through how to guide their children spiritually during those critical years. Dr. George Barna directs the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University and includes these findings in his new book Raising Spiritual Champions: Nurturing Your Child's Heart, Mind and Soul. “Everybody has a worldview. You need a worldview to get through the day,” Barna says. “So children are going to develop a worldview whether their parents are involved in it or not. That is a vacuum that has to be filled.” If parents don't work toward developing their children's spiritual life, other worldviews will fill that void. “Without their parents being there to help guide them, they're just doing the best they can to make sense of it all.” Barna offers ways to help parents to live out their roles as disciple-makers. “The first of those is to recognize that God gave them these children to raise up to be disciples,” he says. So it's important to be intentional and not outsource this critical part of parenting. “They have to have not only a commitment, but a plan to take in these children during those formative 12 years, and do everything they can to lead them down the right path.” That begins by knowing what beliefs you as a parent want your children to embrace. “Why? Because we do what we believe. In essence, your worldview is based on your beliefs, that then gets translated into behavior,” he says. “The only way that you can be Christlike is to think like Jesus so that you can live like Jesus.” Children see when stated beliefs are not reflected in behavior. “Kids don't trust their parents anymore because their parents say one thing and do another. You want to get to your kids? Model the beliefs that you're trying to teach them. When they see you live it out, then they're going to say, ‘Okay, I see it. It works. My parents believe it. I'm going to run with it.'” Underlying all of this, Dr. George Barna recommends that Christian parents bear in mind the context of all of their parenting. “Parenting is a vital battle in the spiritual war in which we live,” he says. “We have to be aware of the nature of that battle if we're going to fight it well.” Follow-up links for more information and inspiration: Specific recommendations and insights for parents and families about building their faith in young, preteen children How deep and widespread the problem is: too many children are not being nurtured in how to understand and practice their faith Solutions in George Barna's new book Raising Spiritual Champions -- his 60th!

Summary: In the last ten years there has been an explosion of confusion among adolescent children about their gender. Girls doubting their femininity are suffering. Boys uncertain about masculinity are unsure of themselves. Alarming statistics reveal that the more confused children are about their gender, the greater is their risk of suicide. What should Christian men do about this crisis? This episode uses God's command to us in 1 Corinthians 16:13 to answer that question. For Further Prayerful Thought: What do you see as the implications of God's command, “be watchful,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “stand firm in the faith” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “act like men,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “be strong,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?Resources To Enable Men to BE WATCHFUL FREE YouTube Video Series, A Biblical Response to Gender Confusion and the Transgender Movement.

Today, Christ is not only ignored and rejected, but now He is becoming the target of malice. How do Christians respond to the times we live in? In this episode, Scott, Darrow, Luke, and Dwight explore where Christianity is today in the West and explore the need for a forgotten symbol of Christ to engage with the growing evil in the world. We all know Jesus as the gentle lamb, but when was the last time we envisioned Christ as the Lion of Judah? We live in an increasingly post-Christian world–a world that actively celebrates evil and is antagonistic to the Christian faith. So again, how do we respond? Certainly not fearful, hopeless, or in denial of the times. Explore with us a biblical paradigm that calls us to courage, wisdom, and loving defiance.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

How should a biblical worldview inform our cultural engagement in this time of social crisis? Today's honored guest, Dr. Wayne Grudem, is Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary and author of more than 20 books, including Systematic Theology. Join us as we hear Dr. Wayne Grudem's heart for today's world. Our discussion covers everything from the recent attack on Israel, the 2024 election, a theology of work, politics in the pulpit, and the question of whether Christians should move from one state to another due to political alignment. How can and should Christians practically engage in the areas God has placed us at this time in history? There are obvious pitfalls to avoid when engaging in our cultures, but we often overcompensate in avoidance and neglect our call to influence culture. We hope you enjoy this practical, raw, honest episode as much as we did. Go deeper with the transcript and recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Dr. Kathy discusses the impact of poverty and broken family situations on children's well-being and success. She challenges the notion that poverty is the sole determining factor for children's struggles and suggests that other factors, such as the absence of a two-parent home, can also have a significant impact. She explores the idea that personal responsibility and a societal emphasis on the importance of marriage may be key in breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a better future for children.

After wrapping up the Tucson Unshaken conference a couple of weeks ago, Alisa and Natasha noticed a recurring theme in their conversations with attendees. It went something like this: “It's so nice to know we're not crazy. It's so nice to be with other believers who hold to the truth of Scripture and not feel so alone.” That says so much about the state of the church. It can be lonely WITHIN the church to have a biblical worldview and if you're feeling that, we hope today's episode will encourage you.
