Show Notes

  • Your worldview is a set of beliefs that you use to interpret and interact with the reality around you.

  • In it’s most basic form, a worldview answers three questions: where did we come from, what is the problem with the world?, and what is the solution to the problem?

  • Each individual person is unique and will subscribe more or less to one worldview, often blending together multiple worldviews. Intellectual integrity demands we remain consistent with the worldview of our choice.
