#4 - Untangling A Biblical Worldview
from Entangled Kingdoms Hosted by Jeremie Wade
To start today’s episode we reflect on 4 influences on worldview formation: * Culture - where someone is born * Education - how someone is taught * Religion - what someone believes, often tied to cultural norms * Emotions - when emotions override critical thinking, logic (ie. fear tactics) We then look at 7 fundamental elements of a biblical worldview: * A creator God exists, his name is YHWH. * YHWH is all-powerful and created all things * YHWH created his family of mankind to be his image-bearers on earth * Unfortunately mankind joined in a rebellion against YHWH and are sinful * There exists, then, two kingdoms at war - God’s kingdom of light, against the rebellion manifested in the kingdom of darkness * Fortunately for us God has provided the means of salvation and finding a way of restoring us to our proper position as adopted sons of God, through sending Jesus. * Restoration requires submitting to the Bible’s authority, it must shape our lives. We close the podcast touching on some dangers when thinking about our biblical worldview. I hope this podcast is encouraging to you! I’m looking forward to the next episode: how we study and interpret Scripture. With these foundational pieces in place, we should be pretty set for tackling some fun topics, including: * The creation of the material and supernatural realms * Tracing the rebellion and the kingdom of darkness * How God’s kingdom emerges throughout scripture, and it’s culmination in Christ and his future return Get full access to Entangled Kingdoms at www.entangledkingdoms.com/subscribe
