Summary

The Associated Press asks journalists to use the term “abortion rights” and Dictionary.com chooses “woman” as word of the year. In a world that challenges truth, how do we steward the gift of language? Kelsey and Jonathan explore words, worldview, and authority. We would love to hear from you. You can send us a message at newscoach@wng.org (mailto:newscoach@wng.org). What current events or cultural issues are you wrestling through with your kids and teens? Let us know. We want to work through it with you. See more from the News Coach (https://gwnews.com/newscoach/), including episode transcripts.Further Resources: * See this brief blog (https://transforminggrace.wordpress.com/2012/05/04/john-frame-on-knowing-things/) for an exploration of foundational epistemology (how we know). Because God is knowable, we are also knowable, and so is the world. Therefore our words have meaning.* Dive deeper into the concept of worldview (https://praxiscircle.com/blog/worldview-pillars/) and the hallmarks of today’s most common ideologies.* To expand your understanding and application of Aristotle’s Five Common Topics, find a systematic explanation here (https://classicalconversations.com/blog/five-common-topics-of-dialectic/) and model here (http://www.mthopechronicles.com/2015/03/the-question-5-common-topics-and.html#:~:text=These%20power%20questions%20are%20part,relationship%2C%20circumstance%2C%20and%20testimony).
