What does it take to move Bible class beyond teaching biblical content to intentionally forming a biblical worldview? And how can Bible teachers help strengthen worldview formation throughout an entire Christian school?
In this episode of Teach Biblically, Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope welcome Dr. Rhett Davis, Bible Department Chair at Charlotte Christian School in North Carolina, to explore these important questions.
Drawing on more than two decades of classroom experience, Rhett shares practical ways Bible teachers can help students understand Scripture as one unified story, ask questions that connect biblical truth to everyday life, and develop habits and desires that reflect Christlike character. He also explains why a teacher’s own spiritual formation may be one of the most powerful influences on students.
The conversation then turns to the broader role of Bible departments in Christian schools. Rhett describes how Charlotte Christian School is developing a shared biblical metanarrative framework to equip teachers across disciplines—and why relationships, collaboration, and ongoing professional development are essential to making biblical worldview formation a truly schoolwide commitment.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
*Why biblical literacy alone isn’t enough for intentional worldview formation.
*How carefully crafted questions help students process and apply biblical truth.
*Practical classroom liturgies that cultivate gratitude and other Christlike dispositions.
*Why a teacher’s “redeemed personality” is such a powerful formational influence.
*How Bible teachers can support colleagues in every academic discipline.
*Simple ways to build relationships and extend the influence of the Bible department throughout the school.
Whether you’re a Bible teacher, department chair, or school leader, this conversation offers practical encouragement for making biblical worldview formation central to both the classroom and the broader school community.
