Worldview

True and Good: Living the Biblical Worldview is a great, advanced discipleship course for Grace members and attenders interested in more effectively discipling the people we care about with a focus on how God’s design for our world is both true and good. This class will help you live faithfully, acquire wisdom, and act courageously!

This class is a 10-month deep dive into Biblical worldview, apologetics and living a life for the Kingdom of God. It prepares you to engage an increasing hostile culture with the truth and goodness of Christ, validates why living by God’s design is the key to flourishing and trains you to disciple others with a more robust Kingdom vision.

Cost is $100 plus the cost of the books. Scholarships are available.

Components of the program include:

• Thought-provoking books (1 per month) and videos (1 hour per month)
• A weekly devotional helping you understand the Biblical basis for our worldview.
• A 3-hour meeting on the first Saturday morning of each month, starting in September where you process the book and videos with a group of like-minded Grace Fellowshippers, participate in additional instruction and apply the concepts you are learning to real world issues.
• A daily 5-minute email/audio podcast applying the Biblical worldview to a current issue.
• Additional optional content is provided for topics where you want to go deeper.

We will build the foundation in the first half of the class and then apply that learning to key cultural issues in the second half.
