Worldview Rethink

Worldview Rethink is a course that any believer can lead. Using self-taught instructions, a leader can take someone who has no knowledge of the Bible and give them the foundation and context necessary to have a clear and objective understanding of the gospel message. In no more than 16 hours, a person can learn the biblical worldview.

The learner follows along with a coursebook and workbook and actively participates by reading along, highlighting, filling in the workbook and watching the video clips.

THE CURRICULUM

The Curriculum Box

The curriculum box is the heart of Worldview Rethink. With this set alone, a leader can conduct a course. In the box are “self-taught” training resources for the leader and course materials for the student.

You have three choices of curriculum to choose from.

Select the worldview for your curriculum box

There are three curricula:

Your selection depends on the worldview of the student or group that you are leading. Each worldview is sensitive to the students’ questions, providing objective and clear answers that naturally arise from that way of thinking. If you are unsure which curriculum to choose, we recommend the eastern worldview curriculum.

EACH WORLDVIEW INCLUDES:

These are the available worldviews for the curriculum box. For more information on what a worldview is, please visit our Worldviews page. »

Eastern Worldview

This curriculum is ideal for those who have adopted their own brand of spirituality to make God out to be anything they want. Others may consider God to be an impersonal force force or may have post-modern, post-Christian or secular ideas.

This curriculum uses By This Name as the coursebook. It has a corresponding leader’s guide and workbook.

This curriculum uses The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus as the coursebook. It has a corresponding leader’s guide and workbook.

The Toolboxes

An important component of Worldview Rethink are the visual aid toolboxes. All of these can be used with any of the curriculum boxes. The leader’s guide provides detailed instructions on how to use them. In addition, the Interactive DVDs and training DVDs demonstrate the use of the visual aids.

Leaders have found that the visual aids are like “velcro to the brain” because they are so memorable. Often, a student will recall a visual aid and remember the important point that it taught. They enliven the sessions and allows students of different learning styles to engage with Scripture.

The Basic ToolBox

This first box of visual aids can be assembled and disassembled as needed and can be packed into the box for easy storage and transportation. Detailed instructions on how to use the Basic ToolBox are found in the leader’s guide.

Includes:

    Twenty-eight visual aids made from full-colour, die-cut laminated cardboard. When assembled, they become 3D teaching tools to enhance the course sessions.

    Each visual aid has a specific purpose:

        The second box contains visual aids that are ready to use. Detailed instructions are found in the Leader’s Guide.

         

        Each visual aid is lightweight, making it easy for Bible teachers or missionaries working in locations where everything must be carried by foot. Everything fits into a sturdy box for storage

        Includes:

          Thirteen visual aids that take the course to a whole new level, both for the leader and student. These 3D visuals work in concert with both the Basic and Advanced ToolBoxes. They have a way of engaging the student like little else can.

                The Advanced ToolBox

                As a leader, you will find that the Advanced ToolBox is a valuable asset in enhancing comprehension—whether used in conjunction with the Worldview Rethink curriculum or as part of an independent Bible study lesson.

                Includes:

                  This ToolBox contains the most elaborate visual aids in the Worldview Rethink curriculum. They are so unique students often move to get a closer look—the ultimate in awe factor, even as God intended.

                                                On the fence

                                                I used this book in a small group with three women who were “on the fence” with their faith. The author has done a marvelous job of clearly laying out God’s plan for our lives. It was an enormous blessing for me to watch as these ladies began to understand and grasp a clearer understanding of the Bible.

                                                 

                                                It does an amazing job of tying the Old Testament in with the New Testament and what the new covenant means for us today. I can’t think of a book, other than the Bible itself, that I would recommend more strongly. A great book to read for yourself, one-on-one mentoring or a small group. Once you read it you’ll see what I mean! The study guide that is offered is also a nice addition to reiterate what you have read and facilitate further discussion. – Audrey

                                                Eyes opened

                                                Incredible! I’ve been a Christian for 23 years, but had my eyes opened to the most wonderful way to share the gospel, in a non-threatening way, that was simple and chronological. I have struggled with too many words, (that have confused the listener, who stares at me with a glazed look in his eyes), when trying to share the gospel. I feel confident with this material, because it’s a straightforward account of the Bible, with enough extra information. thrown in to clarify key points to the one who is seeking. All I can do, is stand amazed, once more , at God’s perfect Word, and a grateful heart to those on the Good Seed team that have made this material available to all who are interested in sharing their faith, and to provide it at such a reasonable cost. Thank you, Thank you!! and may the Good Shepherd continue to grant his blessing on all that you do… – Susan

                                                So clear

                                                This book and the DVD series and workbook that accompany it are by far the best, most clearly stated overview of the Bible I’ve seen. It is an excellent foundational base that can be used with new Christians, mature Christians, and non-Christians. I used it to start a neighborhood ladies’ Bible study with ladies from several different faiths. It was so well-received that once we finished it, we were then able to start studying one of the books of the Bible (Mark). John Cross, the narrator/teacher in the DVD, is so easy to understand and makes the truths of God’s Word so clear. I highly recommend this for use by an individual, small group, or large group, or anyone seeking to understand the Bible as a whole.

                                                – Melissa

                                                Better understanding

                                                My husband and I ran this course after our involvement with running another well known Christian course for our previous church. Our group from the previous course wanted a better knowledge and understanding than they had received about who Jesus is. Six of us took part – (my husband and I (Christians for 7 years), our daughter (Christian for one year), one person who’d been a Christian for many years but wanted to know more, one person who’d become a Christian at the end of the last course, but had little knowledge of the bible, and one person who thought he was a Christian until the last course where he realized he wasn’t! He had a big stumbling block about Jesus and about suffering his wife endured before she died.)

                                                We ran each section and then went through the questions together and discussed issues as they arose where relevant and put aside those that we knew would be covered later. By the end of the course (last week) all participants said how much they enjoyed the course and how much more informative it was than the previous Christian course we’d run.

                                                All of them now want to continue with the group and do some specific bible study. The man who’d had the stumbling blocks now finds that he understands the Gospel and we pray that he will give his life to the Lord very soon. I would highly recommend this course. It takes a lot of the pressure off if you feel inadequate as a leader! – LCM

                                                Teaches the irreducible basics

                                                As a tool for teaching the irreducible basics of the Bible, it’s fantastic. Key events from first to last, laid out in a structured, naturally flowing yet objective, non-preachy, non-threatening way. Very beneficial. – Trevor

                                                Systematic and practical
                                                This is a very systematic yet practical study that gives people an in-depth understanding of God’s message so that they can make an informed decision to accept or reject it. – Laurie
                                                Bible "knit" together

                                                It has been exciting to go through this study, it has kept my complete attention! It is wonderful to see how the Bible is so easily ‘knit’ together. – Marie

                                                Even a child can understand it

                                                The study showed the message of the Bible is not a complicated story, but with all the props, it has been simplified so that even a child can understand it.
