Rethink How Your Worldview Drives Your Theology and Ministry

Being confident in our faith must include an objective re-view of our beliefs.

It is disingenuous (and dangerous) to believe one's opponent is 100% in error 100% of the time,

while one's own viewpoints (perspectives & preferences; interpretations & applications) are 100% correct 100% of the time.

This is not a challenge to Christian faith.

It is a call to re-search (and where appropriate, #unLean) our presuppositions.
