"There is as much caution necessary to protect yourself from being politically obsessive as there is the need to reject political apathy."
Today's show will take a look at political engagement as we walk through chapter 9 of Andrew and Christian Walker's new book, "What Do I Say When...?: A Parents' Guide to Navigating Cultural Chaos for Children & Teens." The hope is to explore how Christians can influence culture and be involved in society without idolizing politics. There is a biblical worldview for political engagement in a divided world, and that is what we will discuss. Bring your questions! There will be time for Q&A and callers!

How Christianity Answers Life's Biggest Questions (Worldview Study Part 5)
Why is there anything at all? How can we know for sure? How did we get here, and what are we here for, anyway? Why have things gone so badly wrong? Is there any hope of fixing them? What should I do with my life? And where will it all end?
These are the foundation questions that all worldviews attempt to answer. "Many factors contribute to our worldview, not all of them the product of our own thoughtful reflection...Our family background, life experience, economic circumstances, educational pedigree, cultural context, national heritage, linguistic community, physiological characteristics, psychological makeup, and historical situation all have an influence on the way we see the world." And because our worldview informs how we live, act, and hope, it is important that we evaluate these contributing factors and ground ourselves in the worldview that accurately describes reality.
Philip Graham Ryken (DPhil, University of Oxford) is the eighth president of Wheaton College. He has lectured and taught at universities and seminaries worldwide, and is the author of more than 30 books, including "Kingdom Come!", "Grace Transforming" and "Loving the Way Jesus Loves."
Join the conversation as we see how the Christian intellectual tradition has shaped the Christian worldview. As always, bring your questions! I will be taking questions and calls after the teaching.
