Construct a biblical and personal worldview.
Each of us holds to a worldview whether we can define and defend it or not. This objective marks a challenge to carefully consider, in a way that we can detail, our personal worldview regarding our views of God, humanity, ethics and other areas. Writing our worldview helps us to articulate what we believe and work on the process of defending our worldview in the face of opposition from many sources as we attempt to live out what we believe.
