What does authentic biblical worldview immersion actually look like in real classrooms?

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Roger Erdvig and Maggie Pope pull back the curtain on nearly 300 classroom visits completed during the 2025–26 school year. Rather than focusing on theory, they share real examples of what they've seen teachers doing well—and where important opportunities for worldview formation are being missed.

From elementary Bible classes to high school math classrooms, Roger and Maggie unpack how seemingly small instructional choices can profoundly shape students' habits of thinking, relationships, ownership, and heart formation.

The conversation highlights a central conviction of Biblical Worldview Immersion: teachers do not need to reinvent their lessons or force spiritual conversations into every moment. Instead, they can intentionally harness what they are already doing to cultivate the dispositions and skills of lifelong worldview formation.

Can preschoolers really understand the big story of Scripture?

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Roger Erdvig and Maggie Pope are joined by preschool ministry leader Renee Blaine to explore how biblical worldview formation begins earlier than most schools realize. Far from "babysitting," preschool classrooms are a critical place to lay the foundation for how students understand truth, identity, and the story of the Bible.

Renee shares practical ways to teach young children the biblical metanarrative—creation, fall, redemption, and restoration—in developmentally appropriate and engaging ways. Through repetition, movement, storytelling, and simple visual tools, preschoolers begin to see how every Bible story fits into God's larger story—and how their own lives fit within it.

If we want students to grow into a strong, lasting faith, we can't wait until middle or high school. Formation starts at the very beginning.

How do the arts shape a student's worldview?

In this episode of Teach Biblically, Roger Erdvig and Maggie Pope explore how music, drama, and storytelling play a critical role in biblical worldview formation. More than extracurricular activities, the performing arts engage students' imagination, shape their desires, and help them step into meaningful stories.

Joined by Marlene Dickinson of Faith-Based Student Musicals, this conversation highlights how students don't just learn truth through the arts—they experience it. By participating in story, students explore themes like redemption, sacrifice, and hope, connecting deeply to the larger biblical narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.

If you want students to not just think biblically but live faithfully, the arts are a powerful place to start.
