For Murray, having a campus where every concept is run through the grid of biblical truth, leading to a biblical worldview, is the most meaningful legacy of all.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThere is no such thing as a neutral fact,\u201d explained Murray during the podcast. \u201cAll facts pass through the worldview of the person teaching. How can you be a Christian, teaching at a Christian school, and not have a worldview that\u2019s Christ-centered?
