Written By David E. Smith   |   04.23.26

At our recent Worldview Conference, Dr. George Barna delivered a powerful and sobering message on what it truly means to raise “spiritual champions.” His central point is one that every Christian—especially parents, pastors, and Christian leaders—needs to hear:

America does not primarily have a political problem… it has a worldview problem.

For decades, many of us have focused on the symptoms of secularization — abortion, crime, family breakdown, failing schools, sexual immorality and drug use. But as Dr. Barna explains, these are not the root issues. They are the fruit of a deeper crisis: a nation that has largely abandoned a biblical worldview.

If you missed his presentations, we have good news: the video recordings of his two sessions are online for your edification!

In addition to those two worldview sessions, you will want to check out Dr. Mark Zumhagen’s presentation titled, “Searching for Truth: Questions to Uncover Your Worldview” and Rev. Ceasar LeFlore’s closing session, titled “A Firm Foundation Built on Christ.

These are great supplemental tools to help you, your children and grandchildren understand the times in which we live, and know how to respond.

Session 1: Dr. George Barna: “Raising Spiritual Champions

Session 2: Dr. Mark Zumhagen: “The Path to Secularism

Session 3: Dr. George Barna: “Cultural Transformation Through Biblical Discipleship

Session 4: Pastor Ceasar LeFlore: “A Firm Foundation Built on Christ

Worldview Training is Vital

We dare not fail to ground our children and grandchildren in a Biblical worldview. We must train them to discern and reject false worldviews that deceptively claim to answer life’s biggest questions. Without a firm grasp of Scripture, any of us can be swept up by popular beliefs and cultural trends. But Biblical Christianity speaks to every area of life and gives us a solid foundation to stand on.

That’s why worldview training is not optional—it is essential. We must equip our children to see the world as it truly is through the lens of God’s Word, to recognize and reject lies, and to live with confidence in the truth. The Bible alone provides real answers to life’s biggest questions. If we don’t teach our children to think biblically, the culture will do it for us.

All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
