A worldview is simply how one looks at the world. The best example I have heard is how people look through glasses, not everyone needs the same prescription of glasses, but they help everyone see the world. So everyone has a worldview but that doesn’t mean they all have to be the same.
Developing a Christian worldview is not something that happens all at once it takes time. I have developed my Christian worldview over many years at Christian schools. I have also been educated from the church. So all of my life I have been fed Christian ideas and beliefs. All of this is good but only being around Christians comes with a risk. What I’m talking about is never being challenged in your faith. If we as Christians never or rarely go outside of our Christian bubble, we will never learn other beliefs. We need to learn other religions beliefs so that we can understand these people better and not be disconnected from this world we live in. If we take the time to research other religions then we can better understand and defend our own. To truly have a strong Christian worldview you also need to know the bible. You don’t need to know all of it but you need to learn how to study it. If you know how to study it then it is easier to understand the lesson that God intended for you. So to truly have a good Christian worldview you need to have a balance of knowing your religion, knowing others beliefs, and know how to properly study scripture. If you know all of these things you will have a solid Christian Worldview.
