What is a worldview and why is it important?

Season 1, Episode 1
Series: Serpents And Doves

In this podcast, we will hear from Lydia about what a worldview is and how it affects everything a person does, says and believes. As the first of a six-week series, this episode will lay the foundation for why it is important to understand not only our own worldview but those of others in order that we can be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves (Matthew 10:16) in our dealings with those around us.
