Why don’t most Christians actually think like Jesus?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, I sit down with Dr. George Barna—renowned researcher and founder of the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University—to uncover the alarming truth about discipleship, worldview, and the modern church. Drawing from decades of data, Barna reveals that most Christians form their worldview by age 13—and almost never change it. Even more shocking? Church attendance rarely leads to a biblical worldview.
Barna challenges pastors, parents, and believers to rethink what it means to follow Jesus—and how we measure true transformation. If we’re not thinking like Christ, we’ll never live like Him.
📌 Topics Covered:
✅ Why worldview is locked in by age 13
✅ The 6 biblical markers of a true disciple
✅ Why behavior reveals your actual beliefs
✅ The crisis of “heady faith” vs. practical faith
✅ Why most churches aren’t in the discipleship business
✅ How Jesus’ model of relational discipleship still works
✅ What your church should measure instead of numbers
