Grounded Ep4: Worldview Part 1

What is a worldview? Why does it matter? How is a worldview shaped?Children don’t just develop their worldview from lessons—they learn it from life lived in front of them. Parents, peers, music, media, schools, society, everyone, and everything they come in contact with will disciple our children. Parents must offer a strong, clear, and coherent worldview rooted in:-God’s authority-Human sinfulness-Grace through Christ-Obedient faith as a response, not a means of earning loveThe bottom line is this, a parent’s worldview:-Shapes what they emphasize-Determines what they tolerate-Defines what they celebrate-Interprets suffering and joy-You don’t raise children toward Christ accidentally.Mark defines a Biblical worldview for parents as stewarding image-bearing sinners by centering the gospel, teaching truth, modeling repentance, and training children to live under God’s authority, all for HIS glory. Charles talks about writing a mission statement for the family. This is a great idea. Parents need a mission statement grounded in God’s Word.
