Question:Arturo introduces the concept of God promising Biblical prosperity and yet he says it’s not about money. What then do you think this phrase “Biblical prosperity” means? What does it include?

Day 3: We live by our paradigms not by our religious beliefs

Arturo explains more about paradigms and why it is important that our paradigms are rooted in truth. We make decisions based on our paradigms and our decisions shape our lives. Question: Arturo says it is important that people have truths in their minds as subconscious paradigms so that they will make the right decisions as they walk through life.

Day 5: What is a worldview?

What is a worldview? It’s a word you will not find in the Bible but the idea is clearly there. It is  Arturo’s experience that when people really grasp the concept they are immensely helped in their understanding and application of Scripture. Question:The challenge with a worldview is you don’t see it. You don’t even know you have it. It’s subconscious. Why is this also a benefit? Why do you think God made us to have a worldview?
