![CTN 99: Engaging the World Through a Christian Worldview with Ben John]()
March 17, 2021
What is a Christian Worldview? How do we know if what is being marketed as "Christian" is really the truth or is a misconstrued version? How do we engage people in conversation about our faith? When we are traveling and we encounter others - how are we living out our Christian Worldview? These are some big and very important questions that Ben John helps us dive into.
Ben John leads development of the Wilberforce Academy, an initiative of Christian Concern. Ben joined Christian Concern in 2018 because of his passion to see young Christians equipped to engage with the current challenges facing the Church in the UK today.
