Christian Worldview Week: Looking at life through a biblical “lens”
Chloe Cloutier, Staff Writer
North Greenville University has been busy providing a variety of chapels this semester, including the recent Christian Worldview Week that started on Mon. March 1 through Wed. March 3.
Speakers for this week included Amy Dunlap, Kayla Black, Jan Foster and Donny Mathis.
Students at NGU took something different out of each chapel message.
To sophomore English major Abigail Wiren, Christian Worldview Week was all about giving students the messages to promote their faith and to inspire a closer walk with Christ.

�It means a lot to me because it serves as a reminder to let God have that control in my life and surrender all to Him,� Wiren said. �I can apply the lessons in my life in how I see God, the Christian worldview and society�s worldview.�
Sophomore biology major Luke Williams had a different perspective on Christian Worldview Week.
Williams said it was a week that highlighted what it means to have a Christian worldview and how to look at certain aspects of life through a biblical �lens.�
�To me, this week means we get to apply Christ-like values to our life and learn more about the world we live in.� Williams said.
The students varied in their favorite speaker from Christian Worldview week.
�I loved the illustration she [Dunlap] paints of acting (living truthfully in a fictitious setting/as a character) and our mindset of living truthfully as Christians,� Wiren said.

Wiren said she thought this week was different than other chapel weeks. She enjoyed this week specifically because to her, it was distinctly different other chapel weeks she has seen or been to.
�I felt this week was different in the way it wasn�t necessarily focused on a story or a topic, but more on living. The everyday life and every day topics,� Wiren said.
Though Wiren preferred Dunlap�s service, Williams enjoyed Foster�s the most.
�She [Foster] showed the importance of teaching Biology from a biblical standpoint and the different aspects of being whole,� Williams stated,
Williams enjoyed this chapel more than other chapel weeks because he felt it was more personal relating to everyday topics that he could relate to his own life.
�I really enjoyed it. I�ve always loved getting in-depth with the Christian worldview, especially apologetics,� Williams said.
Freshman communication major Meghan Mosher said Christian Worldview Week was like looking at life through God�s word. Even more than that, the week centers around truly following His word.
�I like to apply the scripture they included and their testimony with it or interpretation/perspective on it.� Mosher said.
Students unable to attend the Christian Worldview week can go back and watch services on the NGU Chapel Facebook page, NGU Chapel Youtube, or through the chapel streaming service Boxcast.
Students will receive chapel credit if they watch the chapels online and complete a short quiz afterwards. However, the quiz is only open for 48 hours after the service and does close after this time frame.
