Thanks to our listener mail, this edition of Radio Worldview proves to be quite far-ranging. Hosts Jeff and Bill begin by poking a little fun at Worldview Academy faculty member Mark Bertrand for publishing a romance novel called “Beguiled,” but then quickly settle down to discuss the worldview of the movie Avatar and the concept of the Noble Savage. Jeff tries to defend people who like to spend time alone in the outdoors, but Bill is adamant that those who try to go “back to nature” revert to savagery (as an example, he cites “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer). An uneasy truce is reached.
Avatar, the Noble Savage, and Romance Novels
August 23rd, 2010Give More — A Sermon
July 31st, 2010In the last episode of Radio Worldview, Jeff was fretting about delivering the sermon at his church. Were those fears well-founded? To find out, you’ll need to hear the sermon itself. This podcast features Jeff’s sermon entitled “Give More.” To razz Jeff about it, or to provide any feedback, just e-mail us at radioworldview@worldview.org. Next week, the show returns to its regular format.
“New” Projects
July 22nd, 2010We know! Worldview Academy’s podcast “Radio Worldview” has been very inconsistent lately. And we know now, thanks to all your kind e-mails and encouragement, that many of you listen and want more shows. This show represent’s Jeff’s very first effort to upload and post a podcast all by himself, like a big boy. If it succeeds, then we promise that Radio Worldview will become incredibly consistent, starting in September. In this show, Bill and Jeff talk about what they’re working on, and Jeff worries about delivering the sermon at his home church. Keep your fingers crossed . . .

The Jehovah’s Witness at your Door
June 27th, 2010pHosts Jeff and Bill spend a little time talking about what they are reading now, but mercifully cut the discussion short to delve into the Jehovah's Witness worldview. A listener admits that she panicked when she saw JWs on her street, and asks how to share the gospel with them. Bill and Jeff provide a little historical background and then get down to brass tacks.
What We’re Reading Now
May 7th, 2010In this podcast, host Bill Jack makes the fatal mistake of allowing co-host Jeff Baldwin to talk about the books he’s enjoying right now. Although Bill tries to derail the discussion in his own inimitable way, Jeff blathers on and on about Jon Krakauer and Wallace Stegner and C.S. Lewis.
An Educational Mailbag
April 8th, 2010Bill and Jeff finally return (again), facing lots of listener mail chastising them for taking so long to create another podcast. They also respond to a great question from an education major at Purdue who wants to know what to read. As our regular listeners know, Jeff is always happy to tell you what to read.
Salt and Government
February 2nd, 2010After an embarrassingly long hiatus on account of the tech guy, Radio Worldview is back! In this episode, Bill talks about the history of salt and then he and Jeff answer a listener email on a Christian perspective for law and government.
Back By Popular Demand
November 4th, 2009You can’t keep a good podcast down–or even Radio Worldview. After your hosts Bill and Jeff were slacked off for the summer, they are back with a tidal wave of listener mail, starting with a question about homosexuality.
The Death of Newspapers
July 25th, 2009Has the internet killed newspapers? It certainly looks that way when you consider how many newspapers have stopped the presses. But must all newspapers die? And would it be a bad thing if they did? Why should Christians be concerned that liberal newspapers such as the New York Times are in financial trouble? Jeff and Bill don't have all the answers, but they identify some of the key issues.
When the Killer Questions are Aimed at You
July 14th, 2009Nobody said using Bill's Four Killer Questions would be easy. It's one thing to ask others, "How do you know?" but quite another to have that question turned on you. In this show, Bill and Jeff respond to the question, "How do you know the Bible is the Word of God?" and remind listeners that many non-Christians are prepared to reject any evidence offered.
