Teenage students will often interact with other worldviews many times a day. This course cuts through all the noise and confusion of the culture today to present students with the truth of a biblical worldview, helping them distinguish it from the false worldviews of the day. Using the teaching of the Scriptures, it challenges students to examine how they think about the world and then leads them to see the world as it truly is. This course can be life-changing for students who diligently work through the biblical truths presented. Students have a textbook, as well as an activity notebook to go along with Scripture reading from the Bible. Class discussions, current events, and examples from history will be integrated into this course. A couple of movies will also be assigned to watch and discuss, and written responses will be required as part of the course.
