Episode Summary: 

What if the biggest problem facing the Church isn't a lack of activity, but a lack of measurable discipleship?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Len Munsil, President of Arizona Christian University, to explore a question most Christian institutions never ask: Are we actually forming a biblical worldview in the people we disciple? And as a reminder, “you cannot become a genuine disciple of Jesus without having a biblical worldview” (Dr. Barna).

Drawing on years of research conducted with George Barna and the Cultural Research Center, Dr. Munsil explains how ACU measures worldview formation and what the data reveals about students, pastors, churches, and Gen Z. We discuss why biblical worldview is about more than knowledge, the surprising gap between Bible engagement and worldview adoption, and why intentional discipleship is essential for lasting cultural transformation.

If you care about biblical worldview, Christian education, discipleship, and the future of the Church in America, this conversation offers both a sobering reality check and a reason for hope.
