Superficial Surrender | Shannon Casteel

What does it mean to see the world through a biblical worldview? In this episode of the YWAM Kona Podcast, we sit down with John Mark Dyer to explore how Scripture shapes the way we understand God, humanity, culture, and our purpose in the world. A biblical worldview is more than knowing what the Bible says — it’s allowing God’s truth to transform how we think, how we live, and how we engage with the world around us. As followers of Jesus, we are called to bring every area of life under the lordship of Christ. But what does that look like in practice? And how should our understanding of Scripture shape the way we approach culture, discipleship, and the Great Commission? Join us for a conversation about developing a biblical worldview and living out our faith with conviction in every sphere of life.

Join us as we dive deeper into the foundational questions on how to change the world with Chad Causey, the Chief Strategy Officer at One Hope Ministry. One Hope is a global christian movement that works with local communities, creating innovative ways to bring the Gospel to children, youth and families. Their passion is to catalyze a movement in the global church so that every family is engaged in the Bible. After years of ministry and studies on church growth rate in over 40 countries and 13,000 churches, they’ve discovered a consistent desire to reach the youth, but no overall growth in youth and children’s ministry. Over 57% of churches have young people sitting on the bench, not being catalyzed into their calling and we want to change these statistics. If you’re working with children, churches, young people, families, refugees, missions, etc. this podcast is for you! More Research: Globalyouthculture.net Learn more about One Hope: onehope.net
