  • Episode 42 • Why Worldview Matters

    What we think about God is the most important thing about us. Our understanding (or lack thereof) of who God is and what He wants from us profoundly impacts the way we see the world.

    In this episode, Kevin Weaver sits down with Col. Scott McChrystal, US Army (Ret.) and his wife Judy to discuss how worldview shapes our thought processes and decision making, and the importance of building our lives upon a foundation of truth. A biblical worldview gives us purpose and peace in an ever-changing and unpredictable world, and while we may not have all the answers, we have an unshakeable hope in the God we believe made us, saved us, and knows what's best for us.
