Your Worldview Instruction: Is It Even Making A Difference?

Your Worldview Instruction: Is It Even Making A Difference? 1280 720 Katherine Schultz

3D Worldview Survey: Is It Right for Your Group? 1280 720 Katherine Schultz

Do you worry your students are not living out their faith in their daily lives? So much of what we do in working with students in our Christian school, college, or church group is investing in them so that they will know the truth, but we are not satisfied with just having them know the truth.

Snapshot: A Biblical Worldview Perspective on God as Impersonal Force

Snapshot: A Biblical Worldview Perspective on God as Impersonal Force 1280 720 Katherine Schultz

I remember waiting in line for hours with my cousins to see a certain movie in summer of 1977. I wasn’t much of a movie goer, or a science fiction fan, but it was the thing to do, and I ended up in line to see it twice in a short space of time. That movie has has a deep impact on culture in the United States and around the world, particularly with its view of “the force” influencing everything. But that raises a question: Is God an impersonal force?

Using the 3-D Worldview Survey Results in a Classroom 1920 1080 Katherine Schultz

If you are a classroom teacher and you want your students to develop a biblical worldview, it can be a struggle to know what to do to accomplish that. You might start with some tool like the 3-D Worldview Survey to get an idea of where they are, and to awaken their own understanding of their beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. But then what? What activities can you have them do that will help them move from where they are to a more mature biblical worldview?

Is the Devil a Symbol? Why This Question Matters for Spiritual Formation

Is the Devil a Symbol? Why This Question Matters for Spiritual Formation 1920 1080 Katherine Schultz

When students treat the devil as merely a symbol of evil rather than a living being, spiritual seriousness shifts. If evil becomes metaphor, deception feels psychological instead of spiritual, and moral agency subtly changes. For Christian school leaders, this is not a minor doctrinal detail—it is a worldview assumption that reshapes spiritual formation.

The Bible Is True Because I Believe It (Or Is It?)

The Bible Is True Because I Believe It (Or Is It?) 1920 1080 Katherine Schultz

Christian school leaders often encounter a challenging student question: Is the Bible true because we believe it, or do we believe in the Bible because it is true?

Leaders must be equipped to address this flawed thinking in their students to nurture biblically sound worldviews.
