In this episode, Dr. Roger Erdvig and Dr. Maggie Pope discuss the significant cultural influences on news consumption, particularly among the millennial generation, and how these influences affect students' understanding of complex issues. They explore the emotional responses students have to current events and the relational strains that arise in educational settings. This conversation emphasizes the importance of worldview formation, particularly through a biblical lens, and introduces frameworks such as the biblical metanarrative and the “Five Rs of Processing” to help educators guide students in developing critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of their beliefs.
