Podcasts about worldviews

Mary welcomes back Bill Wilson of The Daily Jot to pull the curtain back on some inconvenient truths - inconvenient for those who don't like truth telling, anyway. In the aftermath of yesterday's shocking headline of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, sometimes the bedrock of truth will go head to head with wickedness and a high price is paid. Worldviews clash daily in these times, but embedded in the series of decisions that were made to take this man's life over ideology is the true definition of "crossing the rubicon" - and America will take a long time to recover from this, if we do. Today we also discuss the the political polarization fallout of the Sars/Cov pandemic, accompanied by the general declining trust in public health measures that followed, along with more intense political division. If it only took a couple weeks for Fauci and his ilk to shut our country down, why has it taken an additional 4 years to finish a thought on the scam of the century? Well, there are those who are finally getting around to spelling it out. We also chat about lawfare against Trump's agenda, Senator Tim Kaine's radical views, and the myth of the Palestinian State. Set for September 22, the UN is continuing to push hard for that unknown state for an unknown people (see, "terrorists"). But Trump has disallowed visas for Mahmoud Abbas and 80 of his closest friends in terror. Now what? Well, change of venue perhaps. Stay tuned. A full hour with a prophecy watcher and journalist.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

What does it mean to think impossibly? How do paranormal events, mystical visions, and encounters with the unknown reshape our understanding of what it means to be human? In this episode, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Kripal — J. Newton Rayzor Professor of Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University, and one of today's most daring scholars of religion — to explore the borders between the possible and the impossible. Together, they trace the line where scholarship meets the mystical, where imagination bends into healing, and where our deepest worldviews determine what we are even able to see. From UFOs and near-death experiences to William Blake, dual-aspect monism, and the future of spirituality, this is a wide-ranging conversation about living at the edges of reality. Be sure to check out Jeff's latest book, How to Think Impossibly: About Souls, UFOs, Time, Belief, and Everything Else. Key Takeaways Embracing the impossible expands not just our knowledge, but our capacity for awe, healing, and transformation. Worldviews — personal and cultural — filter what counts as “real,” shaping how we encounter extraordinary experiences. Paranormal phenomena aren't just curiosities; they are symbolic invitations into deeper practice and meaning. Thinking impossibly is less about belief and more about orientation — a way of living that opens us to mystery. Dialogue at the borderlands of science, religion, and imagination may hold the key to the future of spirituality.

In this series on becoming better theologians, Doug & Paula discuss how Worldviews are key to a concept called Pre-Evangelism.

Where do you look for the meaning of words? Dictionaries, I guess? Word meanings are not to be found in dictionaries; words meanings are found in metaphors. All language is metaphorical, and we don't just speak metaphorically, we live by our metaphors.  In this podcast, David and Nippin compare a handful of metaphors in Banking and Maritime. Through this comparison they realise that words don't just create worlds, but they also create divides between worldviews. Too often, we miss a crucial point in organising - you cannot organise me and I will never become part of your organisation if we don't share the same worldview. Such is the power of metaphors. 

Everyone has a worldview, but many people don't realize it. And knowing your own worldview and also the worldview of others can change the way you do evangelism and apologetics. Take a listen and learn these key ideas.-Feel free to email us with any questions at info@servingbb.org or for more information check out our website at https://servingbeyondborders.org-Follow us on:Instagram - @servingbeyondbordersYouTube - Serving Beyond BordersFacebook - Serving Beyond Borders-"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve. . ."

On this special Labor Day edition of Mining the Media, G.K. and Dave start off with dessert — talking college and NFL football as the season kicks into high gear. From there, the conversation heats up as they tackle international tensions between the United States and Venezuela's illegitimate leader, President Nicolás Maduro. Then the guys switch gears. Dave takes a deep dive into the disturbing defense of the transgender shooter who attacked a Minneapolis Catholic school, pointing out the lunacy of Mayor Jacob Frey's flip-flop on prayer in response. Dave explains that this isn't merely about lust for power or Trump Derangement Syndrome — it's about the Left's worldview. Understanding that worldview is the only way to make sense of their otherwise inexplicable positions.

Tracing Truth | From Worldviews to the Risen Christ Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Can Christians embrace an old earth while maintaining biblical faithfulness? This challenging question strikes at the heart of competing worldviews. Logic demonstrates that deep time belongs naturally to naturalism, not Christianity, creating fundamental tensions for believers who accept billions of years. The argument reveals how old-earth theories align perfectly with naturalistic assumptions about reality, knowledge, and history. Meanwhile, Scripture's creation-fall-flood narrative, biblical chronology, and core doctrines like divine providence point consistently toward a young earth. Written by John K Reed.

Why wouldn't we want all stories together? We miss out when we're segregated.Marcie's stories open the door to her home and her heart - and, somehow, to your own. She once wrote that newsletters are like the Off-Broadway productions of what's happening in Midtown. Her recent Love Letters on Substack feel like the main show: intimate, arresting, and something you carry with you long after it's over. She doesn't turn away from sorrow or injustice, but she shows us another way to live in this world: magically, generously, full of care.In this conversation, we talk about home - the one you carry inside you - and the different forms it can take. We talk about her memoir Everybody Come Alive, we talk about hobbits and banned books, paper dolls and Toni Morrison, childhood beauty and the moments that made it feel fragile. We talk about bookstores and “staying in your lane,” and why joy and romance matter just as much to the work of change as outrage or protest.Marcie Alvis-Walker is a writer, theologian, and cultural critic. Her work explores the sacred beyond the walls of institutional religion, and invites deep reckonings with history, belonging, and how we care for each other.I don't know if we can overcome the loneliness of this internet era while within online spaces, like this one. I don't know if it's possible to truly be together in fragmented, digital places. But I do know that Marcie is applying romance, beauty, and enchantment to that question.Imagination InvitationMarcie invites you to choose a sacred text... Not necessarily scripture, but any story, book, or world where the hero wins in the end. Let it be your place of return, a source of beauty, magic, and resilience. Marcie shares that the sacred text can be any story that you connect to: The Lord of the Rings, an Emily Henry romance, or a favorite video game. Lean into the stories that remind you of wonder and carry you through difficult times.Mentioned in this episode:Marcie's book Everybody Come AliveBeloved by Toni MorrisonThe role of "small joys" - let Meghan Markle make her platters!Ideas?

Today I sit down with Willoughby Britton and Jared Lindahl, the interdisciplinary team from Brown University that is responsible for the “Varieties of Contemplative Experience” study on the challenges and adverse effects of meditation. We talk about the design, findings, and outcomes of the study, and how it opened up a new field of interdisciplinary investigation. Along the way we ask: if someone suffers harm from practicing meditation, whose fault is it? What is the ultimate cause? And who gets to interpret the experience?

3 World Views that are Destructive Romans 12:1-2 instructs us not be be conformed to the views of this world. Verse 2: Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without event thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. The 3 world views are: 1. That everything is normal 2. That there are no absolutes 3. The more you know the better off you are

By Tim Martens - What the Bible actually teaches us to do and believe is not what the world is actually familiar with, so this causes them to view true Christians as off-beat with accepted behaviors and traditions.

SummaryIn this episode, Brian Auten and Chad Gross welcome back philosopher and author **Peter S. Williams** to discuss his book, *Behold the Man: Essays on the Historical Jesus*.

A collection of revised essays exploring various historical, philosophical, and theological dimensions of Jesus.Worldviews and Historical Inquiry
How modernism, postmodernism, and the emerging metamodern perspective affect approaches to the historical Jesus.Epistemology and Openness to Evidence
Why the worldview and theory of knowledge you bring impacts whether you can honestly assess historical claims about Jesus.An Early High Christology in James
Peter argues for early Christian belief in Jesus' divinity based on linguistic and contextual clues in the Epistle of James.Dating the Gospels – Especially John
Examination of internal and external evidence supporting the traditional dating of the Fourth Gospel and its authorship by the Apostle John.Miracles and the Resurrection

How personal experience and discomfort with change often block serious consideration of evidence—and how to engage that pastorally.The Role of Apologetics in Spiritual Formation
Why apologetics is a signpost, not a substitute, for commitment to Christ. Knowing *about* Jesus is not the same as *following* Him.================================We appreciate your feedback.If you're on TWITTER, you can follow Chad @TBapologetics.You can follow Brian @TheBrianAutenAnd of course, you can follow @Apologetics315If you have a question or comment for the podcast, record it and send it our way using www.speakpipe.com/Apologetics315 or you can email us at podcast@apologetics315.com

In this thought-provoking episode, Richard Nelson welcomes Ken Ham—founder, president, and CEO of Answers in Genesis and visionary behind the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter—for a wide-ranging discussion on the foundational importance of the Genesis account. Together, they explore how belief in a literal six-day creation is not just a theological detail, but a worldview cornerstone that shapes how we understand truth, morality, science, and culture. Ken shares why the battle over origins is ultimately a battle over authority—God's Word versus man's word—and why compromising on Genesis can lead to confusion in the church and chaos in the culture.

Send us a textMeet Melissa Dougherty. Join us as she discusses her journey from New Thought beliefs to a deeper understanding of Biblical Christianity. She explores the differences between New Thought and New Age, the identity of Jesus, and the implications of these beliefs on modern Christianity. The discussion highlights the importance of critical thinking, the dangers of autonomy in spirituality, and the need for a solid understanding of the Gospel. In this conversation, Melissa Dougherty and R. L. Solberg explore the complexities of spirituality, the dangers of false teachings, and the importance of critical thinking in faith. They discuss the impact of seeker-sensitive churches on modern Christianity, the role of emotions in spiritual experiences, and the need for discernment in understanding true theology. The dialogue emphasizes the significance of grounding one's faith in scripture and the challenges posed by contemporary spiritual movements.Defending the Biblical Roots of ChristianityOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)#newthought #newage #spirituality #christianity #apologetics #interview Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Conversation03:03 Melissa Dougherty's Background and Journey05:50 Understanding New Thought vs. New Age08:49 The Influence of New Thought on Modern Beliefs12:04 Distinguishing New Thought from Biblical Christianity14:46 The Identity of Jesus and the Gospel17:56 The Role of Pain and Distrust in Belief Systems21:02 The Importance of Healing and Insight28:34 Understanding Healing Through Biblical Perspectives29:31 The Rise of New Thought and Its Impact30:45 Historical Context of New Thought Movement32:08 The Self-Help Movement's Roots in New Thought33:37 The Dangers of New Thought Theology36:18 Moral Accountability and Autonomy in Modern Beliefs37:43 Worldviews and Their Influence on Faith38:59 The Pragmatism of New Thought and Its Consequences40:59 The It Works Trap in Spiritual Practices43:38 Manifestation and Its Spiritual Implications46:16 The Dangers of False Signs and Wonders48:08 Evaluating Spiritual Experiences and Their Sources51:31 Self-Evaluation Against Biblical Standards52:20 The Importance of Logic and Critical Thinking in Faith56:12 Balancing Heart and Mind in Spirituality57:50 The Intellectual Component of Faith01:01:34 Emotions vs. Truth in Church Culture01:04:32 The Seeker Sensitive Model and Its Impact01:12:28 The Dilemma of Church Growth and Theology01:19:08 The Future of Church and Spiritual Hunger

This is the second lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. How do we perceive reality accurately amidst competing perspectives? This lesson examines worldviews and explores how everyone—whether consciously or not—interprets life through fundamental beliefs. You will learn how Scripture, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, serves as a lens bringing spiritual clarity to metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Based on Colossians and the Reformed tradition, we compare the Christ-centered worldview with philosophical approaches grounded solely in human reasoning. This lesson enhances your understanding of worldviews, strengthens your ability to identify inconsistencies in contrary perspectives, and empowers you to articulate a gospel-centered understanding of reality with confidence. 01:30 Viewing the World through the Lens of Faith 03:04 Metaphysics, Epistemology, and Ethics 11:01 Worldviews in Contrast 21:25 The Pre-Eminence of Christ in Colossians 34:04 Seeing Clearly with Biblical Spectacles 37:12 Examples of Worldly Vision 39:48 Summary and Conclusion.

This is the last in a 5-part series I've been doing on unconscious bias. These are made up of episodes 121, 122, 123, 124, and 125. I wanted to share some of the content of my in-person/Zoom three-hour unconscious bias workshop. In Episode 121, I provided an introduction, and in 122, I did most of the background section, in 123 I finished the background and then talked about unconscious bias purpose and description. In 124, I walked through two segments titled “Filters, Lenses, & Worldviews” and also “Types of Biases. Then in this last one I share strategies to help us do better. I also have resources below. I hope you have enjoyed this series! Enjoy the summer.

Last week we introduced you to Dr. Berry Billingsley, in a conversation about her work studying Big Questions in Religious and Science Education, and her efforts to support multidisciplinary classrooms. This week we're back with the second part of that episode, exploring another Big Questions in the Classroom initiative, in conversation with seven educators who are advancing Dr. Billingsley's work through a collaborative research project called Religion and Worldviews. Together, these research leaders are not only introducing innovative ideas into traditional curriculum, but they're educating the educators in how to teach them.  Why does the classroom need a refresh? Let's discover together! Our guests include educators Dr. Michael Reiss, Dr. Trevor Cooling, Stephen Pett, Sarah Lane Cawte, Gillian Georgiou, Maureen Cutler, and Katie Gooch.

If you are just joining and haven't listened to Episodes 121, 122, and 123, I'd recommend listening to those first, as I'm in the middle of sharing the content of my unconscious bias workshop. The face to face or Zoom versions are very interactive and are 3 hours, but I'm condensing it, but still wanted to share it.

We were founded on Christian principles, which makes America a biblically formed nation. On this episode of the Alex McFarland Show, Alex takes scriptural evidence to discuss the battle of worldview's. A government that is separated from a biblical and a moral foundation, runs the risk of being taken over by darkness and evil. The wisest thing we can do as a nation is to follow the truth and where it leads.Scriptures:Romans 12:2John 8:321 John 2:28Ephesians 1:1-2Alex McFarland WebsiteAsk AlexMy Relationship with God Free e-bookApologetics Core Truths e-book: Free DownloadConversations that Matter - Dr. Gary Chapman31 Days of Prayer for AmericaEquip Retreat CampsThe Cove - July 18th-20th, 2025 & July 28th-Aug 1st, 2025Speaking EventsBook AlexGive OnlineAlex McFarland MinistriesP.O.

What do you do when the people you work with don't see the world like you do?In this episode, I take you inside a pivotal lesson I learned during my four years as a boxing trainer. I constantly clashed with two male co-trainers who saw everything differently—training methods, values, leadership… all of it. But after one intense workout, it was a female member—who we all called Gator—who dropped the real wisdom.She looked at me and said:

 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12:    "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."   The verse from 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 addresses the concept of rejecting truth and embracing lies, which has profound relevance in modern life. In today's world, we're often inundated with information, some of which may be misleading or false. This passage serves as a cautionary reminder of the dangers of choosing convenience, comfort, or personal biases over truth and righteousness.   In practical terms, it challenges us to critically evaluate the information we consume, stand firm in ethical values, and resist the temptation to accept falsehoods that align with our desires or justify harmful actions. It also underscores the importance of discernment and humility, encouraging us to seek the truth with open minds and hearts rather than being swayed by strong delusions or manipulative influences.       The question "What is truth?" is famously posed by Pontius Pilate in **John 18:38** during his interrogation of Jesus. This moment highlights a profound philosophical and spiritual inquiry that resonates throughout the Bible and human history.    In the Bible, truth is often associated with God's word and character. For example: - **John 14:6**: Jesus declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," emphasizing that truth is found in Him. - **Psalm 119:160**: "The entirety of Your word is truth," pointing to the reliability and divine nature of Scripture. - **John 8:32**: "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free," illustrating the liberating power of truth in one's life.   Truth in the biblical sense is not just factual accuracy but a deeper alignment with God's will, love, and purpose. It challenges us to live authentically and seek righteousness in our actions and beliefs.   live your truth     In modern usage, "Your Truth" often refers to an individual's personal experience, perspective, or understanding of the world. It emphasizes the subjective and personal nature of truth—what feels authentic to someone's life and beliefs, even if it doesn't align with others' views or objective facts.   In contrast, biblical truth is portrayed as universal, unchanging, and grounded in God's nature and word. It is not subjective or personal but rather a reflection of divine will and absolute morality. The Bible teaches that truth is something external to oneself, revealed through Scripture and embodied in Jesus Christ, who declared Himself as "the way, the truth, and the life."   While "Your Truth" celebrates individuality and personal authenticity, biblical truth calls for alignment with a higher, overarching standard that transcends personal feelings or perspectives. The difference lies in the source—one is internal and subjective, while the other is external and divine.   -   Yes, the concept of "Your Truth" often aligns with the idea of a personal worldview. A worldview encompasses the lens through which an individual interprets life, reality, and their place in the world—it's shaped by personal experiences, beliefs, values, and cultural influences.   "Your Truth" emphasizes the subjective side of this worldview, focusing on personal authenticity and the individual journey. However, worldviews also encompass broader philosophies and frameworks that may be shared by communities or cultures. While "Your Truth" highlights individuality, a worldview might include both personal perspectives and shared ideologies, making it more comprehensive in scope.

What is a worldview, and how does it shape everything you believe and do? This week, Dr. Brady Blevins, Senior Apologist at Watchman Fellowship, joins Frank to talk about his brand new course, 'Conversations with the Faiths: Worldviews', which explores the four major groups of worldviews and equips Christians to evangelize those caught in false ideologies and protect Christian churches against modern heresy. In this episode, Frank and Brady will tackle questions like:What are the four major worldviews and why is understanding their differences so important?What's the best approach when someone in your life adopts a worldview that isn't true?Which worldview is taking the lead in our culture today?How do cults and movements like Word of Faith, NAR (the New Apostolic Reformation), and Progressive Christianity subtly twist Scripture and infiltrate the Church?What are the main characteristics of a cult and how do the four functions of math help us spot cults and other false worldviews?What is a great parenting tool that can help kids become more discerning without sounding preachy?Frank and Brady also examine how some of today's most popular teachings deviate from biblical Christianity and you'll hear real-world examples of false teachers and movements that are shaping minds inside and outside the Church.

Dr. Gene Bailey explores two men, and one city, in 1859. London was the center of the western world, and two men were locked in a battle for men's souls, one good, one evil. Is was, and continues to be an epic battle of ideas that rings down the ages to us today, and whether you know it or not you have a part in this battle. It is the battle between the socialism of Karl Marx and the message of Christianity as preached by Charles Spurgeon. The battle between secular salvation and salvation through Jesus Christ.

One of the problems with today's movies and films is the lack of creativity. Modern filmmakers don't have to worry much about constraints on their content, but real creativity needs these constraints. Cool Hand Luke is more than half a century old but it is a great example of excellent storytelling. While it is not a Christian movie in any sense, it uses a lot of Christian symbology to tell its tale. Christians need to re-learn how to interpret art through a Christian worldview. Cool Hand Luke is a good place to begin.
