The biblical worldview is the difference between dependency thinking: “We have nothing, there’s nothing we can do.” Versus sort of an entrepreneurial, creative cultural mentality – which sets a people and nation on a very different course.
Quotes
- [12:37] What saddens me is that I come from such a rich country, yet lies have impoverished the cultural thinking, so that the mentality is that we can’t do anything for ourselves and we need outside help.
- [12:53] Through a biblical worldview, we understand that our calling is to bring a countercultural idea of what it means to be a citizen, helping the people and the nation flourish.

The Kingdomizer Training Program
When the principles of the Bible are understood as a comprehensive worldview, it has tremendous power to work transformation in individuals, families, communities, and even nations. Too often, Christians are ineffective because they have absorbed cultural thinking that is not in alignment with truth.
Not all worldviews are equal. Some lead to brokenness and poverty, while the biblical worldview leads to God’s intended flourishing and the blessing of the nations. Our Kingdomizer Training Program can help you understand the biblical worldview and discover areas in your own thinking that need to be transformed by God’s Word.

Healthy families produce healthy nations. Healthy families are those united by a solid spiritual foundation in Christ. Today, the prevailing culture has redefined marriage and family, and its habits of thought and practice dominate, even in the Church. Christian parents need a biblical vision of wholeness and joy in marriage and family life and a practical plan for applying the wisdom and power of God’s Word to their lives. As the Family Goes, So Goes the Nation is a primer of principles and practices that illuminates God’s pathway for righteous marriages, parenting, and family life. God’s way is the way of beauty, truth, and goodness, the way of celebration, blessing, and healing love in our homes and in our nations. God established the family as the bedrock of society to reveal the kingdom of Christ here on earth. Discover HIS way and and walk in it!
