Personal worldview

       Using a time line of your life, list factors that form your personal worldview.  The time line should begin with birth and go to the present.

 

 

 

       How might these factors impact the way you perceive people and situations around you – your worldview?

 

 

 

 

       Do you think everyone on your team and those that you work with will have the same worldview?  If not, how could this impact the effectiveness of your ministry?
