🌍 Worldview Specialization
Equipping Leaders to Think Biblically, Live Wisely, and Engage Culture with Truth
The Worldview Specialization prepares clergy to understand, articulate, and defend a biblical worldview in a world filled with competing philosophies, moral confusion, and spiritual deception. This specialization is ideal for ministers, chaplains, life coaches, educators, and apologists who want to help others see life through the lens of God’s truth and live accordingly.
In an age where relativism and secularism dominate much of culture, this credential empowers you to lead others in developing a Christ-centered framework for every area of life.
💬 Why It Matters
Everyone has a worldview—whether they realize it or not. It's the lens through which people interpret reality, make decisions, and understand right from wrong. Unfortunately, many Christians hold to inconsistent or compromised worldviews shaped more by culture than by Scripture.
This specialization matters because it equips you to help others think deeply and live faithfully. You'll be trained to engage difficult questions, analyze ethical issues, and mentor others in developing discernment that is rooted in biblical truth and informed by a broad understanding of philosophy and religion.
