Our worldview shapes what we think, how we live, and the kind of culture we create. So when our communities bear bitter fruit—poverty, corruption, injustice—we need to look at the roots below the surface. In this episode, we explore how worldviews are formed, how they shape entire societies, and why true transformation comes from working at this level.

Too often, Christian mission stops at conversion and overlooks the need for deep worldview discipleship, leaving people with many unbiblical cultural assumptions. Lasting change comes when our minds are renewed, leading to flourishing not only in our lives, but also in our families and nations as we live into God's design.

Main Topics:

1. What Is a Worldview? – How it forms and why it matters
2. Ideas Flow Downstream – From philosophers to principles to lifestyles
3. Rooted in Truth – How biblical worldview transforms hearts and societies

It starts with us. We must intentionally think and act differently than the world, based on the reality of God’s Kingdom.

Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture.

To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.

Main Topics:

1. Why Western Christianity adopted a pessimistic eschatology—and the cultural cost
2. How the church turned to a private faith and ceded culture to secularism
3. Mangalwadi's plan to renew culture through biblically rooted education

Join us to explore how the church can recover its cultural voice and help replant biblical roots in today's world.

Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions.

Main Topics:

1. From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn’t enough without also making disciples
2. Shocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as Christians
3. Ministry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing places
4. Mary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered care

If abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching?
