What's The Deal With "Worldview"?

In his recent podcast #140-21st Century Learning Part 3, Greg Bitgood (my boss!) says: "We want our students to see the world through a Biblical Worldview and thus reason from that perspective."

I would like to expand on that key, essential idea from my reading Living at the Crossroads. In Chapter 2, What is Worldview? Goheen quotes James Sire (Naming the Elephant: A worldview is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart... that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being. Goheen goes on to say Everyone has a worldview, and this is given expression in their lives, but not everyone is able to articulate what that worldview is.

Now my "teacher" heart leaps! For it is developing that ability to articulate which fuels my passion for teaching. In the same vein, Greg says: "We cannot escape the fact the critical thinking must originate upon a platform or position to think from, to critique from. To think critically implies a bias, a perspective from which they criticize the content or idea or art, etc."

And? Where do I go from here? The reason I am so enjoying Goheen's book is because he is absolutely clear in his call that we MUST be solidly Bible-based thinkers. "If our worldview should, by our neglect, lose its roots in Scripture, it becomes vulnerable to be taken over by some story other than that of the biblical drama."

My challenge: How solid is your Bible program? How intentional is your teaching focus on Bible as a curricular subject? Are you relying on Sunday School time to teach "the true story of the world"? Does time in your day for Bible get shelved for other more pressing agendas like hockey practice or finishing the Math chapter? Do you assume your children already know their Bibles? Are you intimidated by words like "theology"? When faced with enormous stories like the earthquake in New Zealand and the unspeakable suffering and outcry in Libya, do you have a "coherent framework" to deal with LIFE and see God's story unfolding? Is our Gospel big enough, wide enough, long enough? What's the deal with worldview in your home school today?
