The Problem with Christian “Worldview”
“Some argue that the German rationalist history of worldview makes it wrong, misguided, or even unbiblical for Christians. Others suggest that it reduces authentic faith to something too cerebral, too impersonal, or too formulaic. Perhaps the most common critique is that it just doesn’t ‘work’ in today’s cultural environment.” - Breakpoint

“Worldview” is too apt a term to set aside because of historical philosophical baggage nobody remembers. Plus, Christians who use the term frequently define what they mean by it.
The problem I’m seeing more recently, is the term becoming, as so many do, a buzzword for notions that are not worldview at all.
But it’s pretty intuitive to define it as “how someone views the world and everything in it.”
So, Webster…
world·view ˈwərl(d)-ˌvyü: a comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpointcalled also weltanschauung
Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.
