The Living Youth Podcast

Today, January 16, 2026, marks 40 years since the death of Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong. On this episode of the podcast, we look with gratitude at only a small handful of the precious truths he was used by God to restore to the Body of Christ.

With Mr. Mark Sandor still in the studio, we lean on him for some historical insight into what took place between the Old and New Testaments, which adds a lot of helpful context for what we read concerning the first-century beginnings of the Church. Enjoy!

Today, Mr. Phil Sena joins us again to discuss steps teens and young adults can take to embrace the fact that the Church of God is not just their parents' church, but theirs as well. Join us!

Mr. Mark Sandor is in town for the big family weekend, so we decided to take advantage of his presence and address some questions sent in by our wonderful listeners. On this episode, we have questions about who can keep the Passover, when to counsel for baptism, avoiding worldly attitudes about dating, and being open with God in prayer. We hope you'll join us!

If we're willing to step out in faith and observe the Bible's holy days—the feasts of God listed in its pages and kept by the first-century Church—instead of the counterfeit days proffered to us by counterfeit Christianity, we find there are many blessings that become ours. In this episode we discuss five blessings we hope you won't take for granted. Join us!

It might seem paradoxical, but it's a fact: Christians don't celebrate Christmas. And they don't because Jesus would not want them to. If following Christ means anything to you at all, then listen in this week to learn what everyone needs to understand this time of year.

Many know they  should be studying their Bible, but it can feel intimidating. But don't let doubt (or the devil) stop you! You  can do it! Join us today as we give you six approaches to getting over the hump and getting started in your Bible study.

Today, Mr. Phil Sena stops by, and we talk about the vital importance of taking personal responsibility—especially in a world that is passionately teaching us to invest more in blaming others or characterizing ourselves as victims. Join us as we open our Bibles and see what God has to say on the topic.

It's easy to think that we can be one way when we're alone and another in public, or to buy into the idea that one's private, personal choices are not in any way anyone else's business, because one has nothing to do with the other. But, in reality, the inside always impacts the outside, and individual choices do have societal ramifications. Let's apply some biblical thinki...

With Thanksgiving coming up here in the U.S.—and thankfulness important any time—we thought it a good time to meditate on the very real dangers of ingratitude. Join us as we examine six biblical examples and the lessons we can learn from them.

A fascinating study on how "brain rot" content devastates the capabilities of A.I. models points us to frightening conclusions about its effects on us and our children—causing potentially permanent damage. Join us on the program today as we talk about what scientists are learning and what God teaches, and let's think biblically about brain rot—while we can still think!

Sometimes the most obvious conclusions are the right ones! Halloween seems obviously heathen-ish, doesn't it? Still, some claim it is actually Christian in origin or otherwise a good thing and that those who claim it is evil in nature are naïve simpletons, unable to appreciate subtlety. Don't be fooled! What does God think about Halloween? When you think biblically, the right answer is,...

We each had an amazing Feast of Tabernacles this year, but the Feast isn't really about what you experience, but what you learn and take away. Today, we each talk about lessons we learned this year that we want to keep in mind as we move forward.

There are so many beautiful passages in God's word describing the coming reign of Jesus Christ and His saints. Today, we review some of our favorites while looking forward to the Feast of Tabernacles, only a few days away! Have a wonderful Feast, everyone!

With the Day of Atonement only a few days away, we have the coming banishment of Satan from the world for a thousand years on our minds today. Join us today as we chat about a few of the devil's favorite snares and traps. Forewarned is forearmed!

With the Feast of Trumpets just around the corner, we have the end-times on our minds. Today, we thought we'd take a different angle and discuss various ways you should NOT prepare for the end of the age—then, wrap things up with a very important way you  should .

The public murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah has grabbed the attention of the world. Sadly, it is only the latest example of a growing tendency toward political violence in the United States. What is going on? And how can we avoid getting caught up in worldly, carnal takes and think about these things biblically? Join us as we talk about it.

Today, Mr. Adam West joins us in the studio (a.k.a. Mr. Robinson's office). He was relocated here a few months ago to assist with the work at HQ, and you have already seen him in a few sermons on the Living Church of God YouTube channel. He kindly agreed to sit down with us a bit so you could get to know him a little better. So, sit down with us!

We are asked often why we believe the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other nations are tribes of ancient Israel and why many prophecies about Israel apply to them. And there are very good  biblical reasons. Today, we preview an article coming out in the September-October  Tomorrow's World  magazine and take a look at some of those reasons.

That might seem like terrible advice, but sometimes, it is exactly the advice you need—even when it comes to prayer, Bible study, and other disciplines of life in Christ. Join us today as we explain.

Messrs. Gerald Weston and Jonathan McNair join us to respond to a listener's question about the history of the Church's youth camps, and we take the opportunity to discuss the benefits of Living Education as a new year kicks off!

Peer pressure can be a challenge at any age, but especially so when we're young. Today, we take a look at four different things you can do to push back against peer pressure and do the right thing.

Some listeners had some interesting questions about Jesus Christ and His sacrifice. Today, we answer them!

Jesus has probably been lied about more than any other historical figure. Today, we take a look at just five of those lies, both large and small, and contrast them with the Bible truth.

Today, we take a brief look at a beautiful truth that King David felt was simply too wonderful for him—beyond his reach to fully grasp and appreciate. If we reflect on it, we can begin to see where he was coming from and benefit from the perspective it provides.
