Hope for Change: A Biblical Look at Poverty, Redistribution, and Worldview

Presented by Tim Williams, Disciple Nations Alliance

Synopsis: The biblical worldview is the only worldview that has the ability to develop individuals, families, or nations who are free, just, and prosperous. In a culture of increasing relativism, the history of ideas and societies shows that all cultures and worldviews are inevitably unequal. If America and the West wander further away from a biblical foundation, it will result in our destruction. The biblical worldview also gives insight into the role of resources and the currently counter-intuitive solution to global poverty.

Bio: Tim Williams is a ‘05 Wheaton College grad with a major in Christian ministry who came across the DNA in 2004. Since then, I have come to accept that the biblical worldview is the only worldview that has the ability to create individual, familial, or national freedom, justice, and prosperity - and I’m thrilled to be a part of the team that now works to spread these messages. I have struggled as I watch America and many Christians follow in the footsteps of the larger Western society which is rejecting the biblical worldview as the framework for their society. I have traveled to South Africa, Ghana, South Korea, Honduras, England, Switzerland (and of course Mexico & Canda). My wife is a graduate of UNC-Greensboro with a major in Special Education. We have our first child on the way–Madison Jo Williams due on April 21st. We also have a heart for the intellectually disabled in Ghana, West Africa who are largely neglected and rejected by their families and societies.
