In this lecture, Bywater describes witnessing to New Agers as more than simply giving them a tract. It involves engaging them as individuals. Bywater gives examples of ways in which to probe the individual about their beliefs, rather than purely making statements. He suggests that the Christian ask questions of New Agers such as, what are their fears? what are their worldviews? When asking these questions, Bywater offers these exhortations to the Christian: Do not be afraid of New Agers. Instead, understand them as individuals and remember that they are created in the image of God.

Using examples from popular movies, Chuck Edwards explores three major aspects of a worldview and the difference thinking “worldviewishly” makes in understanding today’s culture. Learn how everyone has a worldview that begins with the question of God, and has implications for every other area of life, including philosophy and theology, psychology and science, economics, law, and politics.
