Every person interprets life through a lens, but Christians must build their worldview on the truth of Scripture not cultural trends, emotions, or public opinion. Dave walks through key biblical foundations including creation (Genesis 1:1), Christ's supremacy (Colossians 1:17), the authority of Scripture (Psalm 119:105), and the call to transformed living (Romans 12:2).
