Summary

There are a lot of competing ideas in today's culture, and it's important that Christians understand how to think critically about the nature of these ideas from a worldview perspective. In this episode, I explain THE most important thing that separates a biblical worldview from a secular worldview and give several examples of how to respond to common secular sentiments accordingly (for example, "Don't you want to be on the right side of history?").

0:00.0	Hey everyone it's Natasha Crane. I know it's been a couple of weeks since I've done an episode and I apologize for that. I said that I really
0:14.1	want to do this consistently and by consistently I mean have a new episode going each week.
0:19.2	So I will try very hard to do that. It won't always be possible while I'm working on my newest book.
0:24.8	My deadline is coming up at the end of June, so I'm working really hard right now on that.
0:29.6	The release date, if you're curious, is going to be in February, which sounds like a long time away, but it feels
0:34.0	like it's around the corner for me, but I am really, really excited about this book.
0:39.3	It's called Faithfully Different, and it's all about believing, thinking, and living more clearly from a biblical
0:45.6	worldview in the midst of what can be some very heavy secular pressure in our culture.
0:51.1	So this is my first non parenting book. It's of course for parents but it's for many
0:56.3	other people too and I'm just really excited about it. Well in today's episode we're going to talk about a closely related subject to what I'm talking about in my book and that is how can Christians become better critical thinkers in a secular culture?
1:12.0	More specifically, how can we better understand thinkers in a secular culture?
1:12.7	More specifically, how can we better understand
1:15.1	the differences between a biblical worldview
1:17.8	and a secular worldview so that understanding
1:20.6	can inform how we evaluate secular ideas.
1:25.0	That's what we're going to talk about in this episode,
1:26.8	and I know that was a big mouthful,
1:28.2	but I promise that it's going to get more clear really soon. I think that when we talk about critical thinking this is something that is of interest to a lot of people.
1:38.0	I know that when I asked for episode ideas in response to the giveaway I did in my second episode this topic
1:45.7	of critical thinking and logic came up a lot so it's something that a lot of
1:50.0	people do sense the importance of today because there are so many competing ideas that are floating around.
1:56.1	And so I'm excited to tackle it in this episode.
