There’s no way around it. Every worldview has to tackle the final question: How will the world end? In this episode, Jason and Doug discuss this big topic. Though we may think little about it in our day-to-day lives, the answer to this question has massive importance. Even Jesus himself talked often about the end of the world. In fact, it was the thing he talked about most! Don’t miss this important installment of Doable Discipleship as we wrap up our worldview series. For complete show notes, click HERE.
All major worldviews seek to explain how the world can be fixed. Most belief systems miss the real problem and only prescribe remedies for symptoms. The Christian story provides a cure for the illness. In this episode, Doug and Jason examine that cure: Jesus Christ. For complete show notes, click HERE.
We can’t get around it. The world simply isn’t as we believe it should be. There is something in us that realizes that there is something broken in the world that ought to be fixed. Today Jason and Doug talk about what went wrong. For complete show notes, click HERE.
This week, we’re talking about how the universe came to be. This is one of the central issues that any good worldview must handle. Origins are important because how we began has implications for how we should live. Questions like “Who am I?” and “What is my purpose?” all stem from the prior question “How did we (and everything else) come into existence?” Don’t miss this continuation of our worldview series.

Last weekend, Pastor Rick made some important statements about worldview and how it affects us in important ways (including how we pray). In this episode, Doug, Rob, and Jason begin a new series of conversations about critical thinking. We must all take the time to consider a vitally important question: Does what I believe make sense? We all live our lives based on certain beliefs about reality. We hold certain things to be true and our decisions, both big and small, are governed by that understanding. This episode will give you some thinking tools that will help you test the strength of your worldview. For complete show notes, click HERE.
