Show Notes
Not asking for help
God is our greatest source of help (Ps.121)
God intends us to live in community with others (Acts 2)
Pride is often at the root of our not asking for help
Trying to make bad relationships work
Sin disrupts and distorts our relationships
God desires reconciliation
However, when reconciliation doesn’t occur, the Bible warns us of the dangers of associating with “fools” or “the wicked” (Proverbs, Ps. 1)
Dwelling on your mistakes and shortcomings
We all make mistakes
Without a new identity in Christ, our mistakes are destined to define us
True transformation is a gospel issue, not a self-help issue.

Show Notes
TV and film are worldview propaganda.
No one is just telling a story.
Questions to ask with your kids
Where or who is God?
What confusing
What’s missing
When watching a movie, ask yourself (from screenwriter and movie critic, Brian Godawa) [also works for books].
“What is the character flaw of the hero at the beginning?”
“What makes him change his mind in the story about the way he sees the world?”
“What does he learn about the way life ought or ought not be lived?”
“What is different about the way he sees the world at the end from the way he sees it at the beginning?”

Show Notes:
“If you want to know what water is, don’t ask the fish.” - Chinese Proverb
We all struggle to accurately describe the worldview in which we live.
There is such a thing as a Christian or Biblical worldview and we can know it.
Man-made worldviews are often built on multiple systems of truth claims such as science, religion, and philosophy.
A Biblical worldview is built on God’s universal truth, which shapes systems like religion, natural and social sciences, law, history, health care, the arts, the humanities, and all disciplines of study with an application for all of life.
The Bible provides us with a reliable and consistent framework for knowing God’s truth and applying it to our lives.
What are the basics of a Biblical Worldview?
(See outline here)
What are the implications of a Biblical Worldview?
It provides us a framework for moral and ethical thinking
It informs our overall view of history
It grounds us in the redemptive work of Jesus
It holds out God’s design as distinct from all other worldviews
