    How To Waste Time & Have Regrets

    No one wants to live with regrets. According to Lifehacker contributor, Kristin Wong, there are three sure-fire ways to live with regrets in your latter years. In this week's episode, Oren and Dave will examine these "wastes of time", how they can lead to regrets, and how the Bible helps us avoid or overcome such issues. The Biggest Wastes of Time We Regret When We Get Older by Kristin Wong No Regrets by Adam Again 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.

    Worldview At The Movies

    Ever watched a movie and wondered what worldview was being presented? Probably not. However, learning to recognize worldviews in the media we enjoy is helpful to our spiritual development. In this episode, Oren and Dave share some tips on how to peel back the layers of narrative to discover the worldview underneath your favorite TV shows, movies, and books.  Follow us on social media YouTube Facebook Instagram 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?”

    What Is A Biblical Worldview?

    Is there such a thing as a biblical worldview? If so, how does the Bible shape our view of the world around us? What makes a biblical worldview distinct from all other worldviews? In this episode, Oren and Dave offer a brief overview of a biblical worldview's key beliefs and foundations. Connect with Footnotable: YouTube Facebook Instagram 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

    Worldviews Then & Now

    We are all shaped by our worldview. However, worldviews don't have the staying power that you might think they do. Over the years, worldviews have come and gone. Which worldviews have had the biggest impact on our culture over the past century or so? How did they develop and where are they now? How do worldviews function in today's ever-changing society? Oren and Dave discuss these topics and their impact on the church and culture in the second episode of our series on worldview.  Follow us on social media YouTube Facebook Instagram Show Notes Despite their importance, outside of the biblical worldview, no worldview has ever sustained its influence indefinitely. Non-biblical worldviews have a 100% mortality rate. This means that there’s always something new on the horizon. The way most people view the world will eventually change. Examples of Worldviews: Modernism - Reality, knowledge, and morality are founded in science, human reasoning, and objective evidence. Faith in God along with other beliefs and values are entirely personal and subjective and, therefore, has no place in the realm of objective truth Began in the early 20th century. Shaped by the Enlightenment, Freud, and major scientific advances Characterized by nihilism - the rejection of religious and moral principles as being the only means for guiding a society, and individualism. Sought to achieve a type of utopia for humanity. Postmodernism - A worldview characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power. Began mid-20th century Is, in part, a reaction against modernism. Science and history can be objectively true or false Logic, reason, science, and technology can be used to better humanity. Not very well organized as a worldview The Handmaid's Tale (Margaret Atwood) is a great example of postmodern thinking. Beyond Modernity and Postmodernity Today, there is no longer a single worldview that is prevalent. People’s increased exposure to various ways of thinking has led to worldviews being treated like buffets, with people taking a little from multiple worldviews and creating their own. What’s On the Buffet Line? New Spirituality - All gods or spirits are the same regardless of the names we use. Karma. (Rise of paganism) Secularism - Science is necessary to establish truth. Society determines the value of life. Meaning is material. Postmodernism - We can’t know meaning for certain. Individuals define morality. Offensive beliefs are wrong. Marxism - Private property encourages greed. The government should be in control of goods and resources. Society is controlled by those with power who use it to oppress those without. Knowing which worldviews are shaping our thinking is important. We need a better, unchanging, and lasting worldview.

    What Is A Worldview?

    We all have them whether we know it or not. What exactly is a worldview and why is it important? Oren and Dave kick off their new series in this episode as they seek to bring some clarity to our understanding of worldviews and their function in our lives. Follow us on social media YouTube Facebook Instagram Show Notes Clarify some terms Worldview There are several very technical definitions “A worldview is an overall view of the world. It’s not a physical view of the world, but rather a philosophical view, an all-encompassing perspective on everything that exists and matters to us.” - James Anderson Everyone has a worldview, even if you aren’t consciously aware of it. Culture Culture is the expression of a worldview and includes the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social groups. Think of an iceberg Culture is 10% of what we see. Worldview is the other 90% that lies below the surface. Why worldviews matter Worldviews seek to answer the big questions of life Where did we come from? Why is the world the way it is? Where are we headed? What is the final outcome? Worldviews can be shaped and changed. Worldviews shape and change us. The Seinfeld Worldview: Fate is nothing more than the world the characters make for themselves.
