Parents and Students,

I am honored to have the privilege to teach Contemporary Issues and Biblical Worldview!  In the culture we are living in, I can’t imagine any topic being more relevant. According to a recent Barna Group survey, “less than 1% of the young adult population in the United States has a biblical worldview”.  Further, Barna estimates that “70% of high school students who enter college as professing Christians will leave with little to no faith”.  My hope is that throughout the semester, students will gain a deeper understanding of the Christian faith as well as learn how to defend their beliefs agains opposing philosophical and religious ideas.

Class information –

1. I will be using Google Classroom to post assignments. This tool allows students to submit work online.  This is very beneficial in that it gives me an opportunity to grade assignments and return them so that students have correct answers to study for tests and quizzes.

2.I will be using Morning Wire, a podcast that covers the latest news in the areas of culture, politics, education and more.  Fifteen minute    episodes are released every morning.  If you are not familiar with the podcast, use the link to Morning Wire to check it out.
