Today, we define and discuss what is meant by "worldview" and how Christian educators must teach and exhibit a personal biblical worldview in faith and practice in order to be most effective in equipping the net generation.

This episode discusses the importance of training students with both spiritual and academic excellence regardless of the type of school an educator is serving. It is further emphasized that Christian teachers in a public school system are indeed "Christian educators" in a more challenging environment than a traditional Christian school teacher. Whether homeschooling around the kitchen table or engaging college students in a lecture hall, Christian educators must look for "spiritual" teachable moments" to solidify truths from God's Word. Lastly, Christian schools are usually established to be either covenantal (discipling) or missional (evangelizing). All other school policy will flow from one of these points of view. For more information or to stay connected, visit us at www.connectionpoint.life Email: [email protected] is used by permission from The Overcomers Choir of Ozark Bible Institute.
