How do we prepare our kids to engage with a complex and shifting world? After teaching for 40+ years (along with being a guidance counselor for a decade), Steve still isn’t sure. But he shared some of what he has learned along the way.


Teaching toward Worldview | Steve Fikkert

This is the audio from the class. Along with it, the Bible verses referenced are:

  1. Romans 12:2
  2. 2 Corinthians 10:5
  3. Philippians 1:8-10
  4. 1 John 4:1-4

The worldview definition referenced is from The Universe Next Door by James Sire:

a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move, and have our being.
