Shaping Head, Heart, and Hands: A Better Way to Measure Formation with Katherine Schultz

How do we know if our students are truly being formed – not just informed? In this powerful episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens is joined by educator and researcher Katherine Schultz to explore one of the most pressing questions in Christian education: how do we assess and support the formation of a child’s beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes?

Katherine introduces her groundbreaking tool, the 3D Worldview Survey, which helps parents and schools evaluate students in all three dimensions – head, heart, and hands – to spark meaningful discipleship and spiritual growth. This isn’t a spiritual report card—it’s a catalyst for real conversation and next steps.

🎧 Tune in to discover:

  • Why so few students (and even pastors) hold a consistent biblical worldview
  • What schools and parents can do to bridge the gap between belief and behavior
  • How the 3DWS can be used to shape school culture and mentor students more effectively

Don’t just hope your students are growing—know how to help them take the next step.
