Like it or not, we are living in a world filled with unknowns. Our economy, our newly elected President, our war on terror, our declining morals, and other life-changing issues leave people very insecure about the future and looking for direction.

Our churches are no exception. Christians are trying to make sense of ever-changing values and are surrounded by unfamiliar standards. Mainstream media, including TV, news and films, are filled with answers, but these conflict and leave us without the firm foundation our country once had. Without a thorough understanding of differing worldviews, we have no compass to lead us through this minefield safely.

Personally, after being impressed with Chuck’s work in Prison Fellowship, I was drawn to reading most of his books and have developed a great respect for this man and his biblically based teaching. My own interest in worldview began and has continued to grow after reading Chuck’s How Now Shall We Live? But most of my understanding of worldview seemed to be disjointed until I became aware of the Centurion program. At that time I realized that God was moving me to apply for this program in 2007. I was very blessed to be accepted. Since I joined, God has continued to immerse me in worldview topics, helping me bring into focus these principles in my own life, with my family and friends, and in my church teaching.

The Centurion program is intense, demanding, and thought-provoking, and an immense opportunity to learn from many of the leading worldview thinkers of today -- thinkers such as Chuck Colson, T. M. Moore, Mark Earley, Dr. Del Tackett, Glenn Sunshine, Ken Boa, Jay Richards, and others. This program not only provides theory but the application of that theory in everyday life. It includes daily devotionals, reading and writing assignments, movie reviews, poetry assignments, monthly teleconference calls with worldview thinkers, and three residencies in D.C. where you not only learn but also discuss worldview topics with these thinkers and fellow Centurions. Also, there is an online forum that provides daily interaction and discussion with fellow Centurions and staff.
