EPISODE 0213 | A Biblical Worldview: POV PT 2
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0213
In a world filled with shifting opinions, cultural confusion, and identity crises, it’s more important than ever for Christians to understand why they believe what they believe. In this episode, Pastor Daniel Hayworth and Pastor Joshua Brown unpack what a biblical worldview actually is, where false worldviews come from, and how to build a solid foundation of truth. They break down the four dominant worldviews shaping our culture—naturalism, postmodernism, pantheism, and biblical Christianity—and expose how these philosophies influence everything from morality to marriage, identity to purpose. This episode is the first of a multi-part series equipping believers to discern truth in a world full of lies.

🔹 False worldviews always elevate self—whether through pride, experience, or spirituality
🔹 Biblical worldview begins with the fear of God and ends with eternal purpose
🔹 Syncretism is the enemy’s strategy—blending enough truth with lies to confuse believers
