Have you ever wondered how to really teach your kids the Christian worldview? I’m not talking about surface-level Sunday School answers or memorized Bible verses—I’m talking about raising children who can actually discern truth in a culture overflowing with lies.
If you’re like me, you’ve seen the statistics. They’re heartbreaking:
📉 Only 4% of Gen Z holds a biblical worldview.
(Yes, even the ones who go to church.)
And here’s the kicker: most of these kids would say they’re Christians.
So… what’s missing?
A proper understanding of the Christian worldview.
That’s why I’m bringing back one of the most important conversations we’ve had on CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD—a Best Of episode with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, the brilliant mind behind Foundation Worldview.
Elizabeth is a former Christian school teacher who realized something alarming in her classroom—her students could recite Bible stories but didn’t know how to think biblically. That disconnect sparked a journey that led to the creation of Foundation Worldview, a curriculum that equips kids to evaluate every idea they encounter through the lens of Scripture.
I’ve used it with my own kids, and honestly, I wish I had discovered it sooner.
In this episode, Elizabeth and I explore how to move beyond devotional checklists and into real worldview formation. What is truth? Who is God? How do I determine right from wrong? These aren’t questions for seminary students—they’re questions our children are already wrestling with, often without the tools to find biblical answers.
We live in an age of information overload. Our children are exposed to more competing worldviews in one year than most people faced in a lifetime just a few decades ago. If we aren’t giving them a strong, step-by-step foundation, culture will fill in the blanks.
That’s why worldview training isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential.
Elizabeth explains how a worldview isn’t just “what you believe.” It’s a mental map for all of life. And when our kids don’t have a Christian framework, they will absorb a secular one. Often without us realizing it.
Here are 7 key takeaways you don’t want to miss:
📍1. A Worldview = A Mental Map for Life
It’s not just “what you believe.” It’s how you navigate reality. If we don’t teach our kids how to think biblically, culture will gladly do it for us.
📖 2. Teach the Bible as One Big Story
Random devotionals aren’t enough. Kids need to see Scripture as a cohesive narrative—and develop the skills to read, interpret, and apply it for themselves.
🧱 3. Kids Need Building Blocks, Not Leaps
A biblical worldview is built step by step. It’s not a one-time talk—it’s an ongoing, layered process.
📲 4. Today’s Kids Face a Firehose of Ideas
Your child hears more worldviews in one year than most people did in a lifetime before the iPhone. That’s why critical thinking tools are essential.
❓5. Worldview Begins with Core Questions
What is truth?
Who is God?
Who am I?
What is right and wrong?
These are the pillars we must teach intentionally.
⚖️ 6. Even Little Kids Absorb Relativism
Elizabeth shares jaw-dropping stories from her classroom—like a student writing “don’t judge me” in cursive. (Yes, really.) Cultural lies seep in early.
🙌 7. You Don’t Need a Theology Degree
With the right tools, you can do this. Foundation Worldview makes it possible—even if you’re stretched thin, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.
Let me encourage you, Mom and Dad—you don’t have to do this perfectly. And you definitely don’t have to do it alone. This episode is filled with both conviction and encouragement. It’s a roadmap to help you raise kids who don’t just know about Jesus but who see the world through His eyes.
If you’re ready to go deeper and get equipped with tools that truly make a difference, don’t miss this episode.
