Worldview/Scholar Track

Presented by Dan Panetti, Esq.

In the book of Jeremiah, God asks the prophet what he sees.  When Jeremiah answers correctly twice, God commissions him for service.  God wanted to hear that Jeremiah, like the sons of Issachar, understood the times and had the depth and wisdom to speak for the Lord.  Are our Christian schools today producing thoughtful, intelligent, and wise Christian leaders for the next generation or are students today cultural consumers, adrift in Huxley’s Brave New World without the anchor of God’s Word to withstand the storm?  How can we equip our students to think critically and Christianly about the world around them?  This module will address this issue and give insight into some practical examples on how schools can equip the next generation of students so they will not be put to shame when they face their enemies in the gate (Psalm 127:5).
