What Shapes Your Worldview with Dr. Peter Worrall & When School Feels Boring with Dr. Elizabeth Smith

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “Back to School.” Peter Worrall and Dr. Elizabeth Smith joined us today. Dr. Peter Worrall, Professor of Educational Ministries at Moody Bible Institute, explained how different worldviews influence us and why Christians should keep growing in a biblical worldview. Dr. Elizabeth Smith, Dean of Faculty for Moody Online and a Professor and Curriculum Writer for Moody Bible Institute, shared how students can fight boredom, stay engaged, and see learning and work as a gift from God. We then invited our listeners to share a story about a time they were around an open Bible in public, whether it was them with the Bible or someone else. You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
