Is our world view biblical?

With great privilege, the SOFJ has spent the last two weeks receiving
teaching and inspiration from Landa Cope, Founding International Dean
of the College of Communication for YWAM's University of the Nations. She is highly sought to speak to politicians and business leaders around
the globe about the Bible's practical applications in all domains of
society.

Landa brought a challenging word to the students, encouraging them to
gain God's perspective as it is revealed in Scripture. She also taught
the importance of asking good questions and being bold in the
proclamation of Truth.

The week prepared the students for writing their first big assignment
over the weekend. Each student focused on an issue of their choice and
brought a Biblical worldview to the piece, while still writing for
mainstream media. Topics such as prostitution, Sharia Law, farming,
and human trafficking were all explored in the light of God's word and
His principles.

We look forward to continuing our study on news-worthiness this week
and meeting with the God of Communication!
