Most Christians give little consideration to formation of a Christian worldview.
In the absence of formal training at a Christian college or lack of familiarity with Christian authors who have written extensively on the topic such as Francis Schaeffer or Arthur Holmes, interest in the subject is often limited to questions of personal morality or public policy that supports, even if it does not endorse, Christian values.

Warm greetings from Palo Alto!
“You are what you love.” Or so claims Christian philosopher James K. A. Smith (in his book by that title), which we recently considered together as a community.
I don’t mean you are the things that you love, but you are the sum of your loves—your actions of loving and desiring. You are not primarily a “thinking thing” (a res cogitans, in the language of Decartes), but a loving and desiring thing. Our thinking is no doubt crucial to who we are, but it is subservient to our loving. Our thoughts are means to the end of—and culminate in—our loving.

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
