During our December 3, 2024, Walking in Wisdom webinar, Kirk Cameron and Ken Sande explored ways that a Christian worldview can strengthen our ability to live lives that honor God and draw attention to the transforming power of Jesus and his gospel.

A worldview answers three primary questions: (1) Where did we come from and why are we here (creation)? (2) What has gone wrong with the world (fall)? and (3) What can we do about it (redemption)?

Our answers to these questions profoundly impact our lives. As Chuck Colson puts it, “Our choices are shaped by what we believe is real and true, right and wrong, good and beautiful. Our choices are shaped by our worldview.”

Although most Christians believe they are following a biblical worldview, many of us have unwittingly embraced elements of naturalism, humanism and postmodernism, which contribute to the conflicts and divisions in our churches, the breakdown of our families and our decreasing influence in American culture.

As Kirk and Ken explained, however, it’s never too late to develop a rigorous, worldview that is grounded solidly on God’s revealed truth, Holy Scripture, and is robust enough to help us stand firm in the face of life’s many challenges. Here are some practical ways that you can begin this process … and inspire others to do the same.

2 Ways to Engage People with Different Worldviews

When people with different worldviews interact, they often react by interpreting other’s motives, words and positions in the worst possible way, which builds walls, blocks understanding and prevents them from finding common ground. Here are a few ways to counteract this tendency.

  1. Apply the principles found in Charitable Judgments: An Antidote to Judging Others.
  2. Apply the principles described in Preserving Relationships in the Midst of Political Turmoil.
