Social Issues Worldview

SOCIAL ISSUES: WORLDVIEW – “WHAT IS YOUR LENS?” is a visually driven, Scripture-saturated resource that helps Christians compare secular narratives on hot-button issues with a clearly biblical worldview.

Product overview

• This Apologia “Defender Series” booklet from Family Policy Institute of Washington walks through twelve social-issue “worldviews,” each presented in a stark secular frame and then “uprooted” and reframed with biblical truth.
• Full-color spreads combine slogans, imagery, and key Bible texts to contrast messages about identity, abortion, guns, science, borders, race, authority, spirituality, and more with what God says in Scripture.

Key features

• Perspective & truth primer: Early pages clarify the difference between perspective and truth, distinguishing emotional, logical, and factual truth and emphasizing that facts, not feelings, must anchor a Christian worldview.
• Twelve worldview contrasts: Each numbered “Worldview” spread puts a cultural message (“I am a victim,” “My body, my choice,” “Guns are bad,” “My truth is my truth,” “No borders, no nations,” etc.) beside a biblically grounded alternative with supporting Scripture and short, memorable statements.
• Built-in discussion guide: Two pages of discussion questions invite small groups to process each spread, apply it personally, and wrestle with implications for discipleship and civic engagement.

Ideal audiences and uses

• Churches and ministries: Perfect for adult classes, youth groups, worldview/civics electives, and church-based discussion groups that want to connect doctrine to real cultural debates.
• Christian schools and homeschools: A ready-made supplement for Bible, civics, or current-issues courses to help students evaluate slogans and social movements through Scripture.
• Defender engagement: Pairs naturally with FPIW’s “Defender” program as an on-ramp tool to move believers from concern to informed prayer, voting, advocacy, and recruiting others.

Transformational outcomes

• From confusion to clarity: Readers learn to recognize how often “perspective” is treated as “truth” and to test every claim—right, left, or center—against God’s Word.
• From slogans to Scripture: Instead of absorbing social-media sound bites, readers practice filtering issues like abortion, race, immigration, authority, and sexuality through specific Bible passages.
• From passivity to engagement: The closing FPIW “Defender Commitment” (pray, sign initiatives, vote, engage, recruit) gives concrete next steps for Christians ready to stand for biblical values in the public square.
