Charles Colson has a new small group resource available that Christian Renewal recommends: 

CounterCultural Christians: Exploring a Christian Worldview with Charles Colson 
Grasp the underlying belief systems that impact how people view the world around them! Then dig into Scripture to guide your conclusions. This study will help group members learn how to develop a Christian worldview and transform culture.

If you'd like to learn more about this twelve-session interactive multimedia resource go to Group Publishing's website.  These studies will challenge Christians to understand the impact of cultural influences on their faith and explore the impact our worldview has on every area of life.
