Reconnecting Americans through Their Biblical Heritages

What is your philosophy of life? You may not be able to explain it, but you have one. Your life experiences have produced beliefs about who and what you are, beliefs about how to have different types of relationships (with your spouse/partner, children, extended family, circles of friends and strangers), beliefs about how you spend your time, beliefs about what you value and what you don’t, and beliefs that are the standards you use to judge your actions and the actions of others.
