What if the best way to change culture isn’t through politics or protests—but by faithfully living out a biblical worldview right where you’re planted?
Discover how to raise disciples who think faithfully about every area of life. In this episode, Robert sits down with Mike Shcutt, Executive Director of Worldview Academy, to discuss how Christians can bridge the gap between biblical truth and cultural engagement.
Mike shares insights from 30 years of discipling students through Worldview Academy’s leadership camps, revealing why intellectual Christianity matters and how families can avoid the entertainment-focused approach that dominates youth ministry today. From homeschooling three children to watching seven grandchildren grow, Mike offers wisdom on passing down faith across generations.
Learn why worldview education isn’t about creating “know-it-alls” who argue everyone into submission, but about forming gracious disciples who love their neighbors well. Mike unpacks the difference between being blind versus being dumb, and why asking good questions matters more than having all the answers.
This conversation challenges believers to think faithfully about their specific callings—whether in law, plumbing, teaching, or parenting—and bloom where they’re planted. If Christians truly repented and lived according to Scripture in every area of life, what would cultural transformation look like?
