The Living Youth Podcast

Today, we ask a question that's important for each of us to answer: Why the Living Church of God? Contrary to the sentiment of many in this world, Jesus is not an "attend the church of your choice" sort of Messiah. He wants us to attend the church of His  choice. There are real, biblical guidelines for discovering where Christ is working and where you should go, and we discuss them...

God says not to bear false witness. But what's so bad about lying? What about "little white lies"? It's worth thinking about. Truth and reality go hand in hand...

This has probably been one of our most requested topics: friendship. Today, we'll look at five passages in the Bible that teach us something about friendship. They are certainly not the only passages, and some might be surprising! But if this episode is helpful, we'll plan on doing more on this topic in the future.

This week, we asked Mr. Jonathan McNair to stop by and tell us all about the upcoming L4T event. Join us and listen in!

This week we have the privilege of sitting down with two good friends visiting from the Church's Canadian HQ, Mr. Michael Heykoop and Mr. Javid Khan, to talk about Canada's very vital part in God's Work around the world and to learn a little more about their mysterious and exotic nation. Enjoy!

Romans 1:18–32 does a pretty thorough job explaining why our world is terrible—and the thinking you need to avoid to prevent falling into the same trap. And it's a trap being laid for the young, specifically, more than anyone else. Don't fall for it!

A lazy podcast at the end of a very busy week, but still hopefully a helpful one! A listener asked us to explain our work backgrounds and what brought us to where we are today, so we jump in and answer. And, still, there are opportunities to model biblical thinking. We hope you get something out of it, and for those in the middle of the Days of Unleavened Bread, we pray that the Festival is a prof...

We've all done it. Adam and Eve did it! But it's not helpful.  Blaming others . It blinds us and twists our thinking. But there is real power in "owning up" to our mistakes, errors, and sins. As the Spring Holy Days approach and we are all examining ourselves, let's consider the effect of blaming others for our choices and aim at doing better.

The deleavening that you do leading up to the Days of Unleavened Bread can bring some sweet, sweet meditations. There are a lot of lessons packed into that crumb-sweeping! Today, we flash back to some lessons we've learned, and we hope they inspire you to do some meditating yourself this season.

Today we answer a question from a listener: With the world getting worse as Jesus Christ's return approaches nearer, how should a young person think about his or her future?

Sometimes you just want the Bible to spell out all the "dos and don'ts" of things in all their details, but it doesn't. Is that a bug or a feature? Join us today as we chat about why God might choose to handle some things this way.

Well, just as the March 2023 issue of  Tomorrow's World  is hitting subscribers' mailboxes, we've just finished creating the April-May 2023 issue. And with it still fresh in our minds, we thought we'd give you a preview. Asking whether we're sleepwalking into WWIII, pondering the possibility of an A.I. information apocalypse, warning against the dangers of perfectionism, e...

Artificial intelligence is quickly moving from behind the curtain to the very front of the stage, as increasingly intelligent chatbots, image generators, and more are entering mainstream use by "regular" folks. Join us for a bot-free chat as we ponder a bit together about what these new tools mean.

The Grammys and the Super Bowl halftime show are times when our culture spends a lot of money to put its values on display. And, on the whole, they were celebrations of perversity. Let's talk about why.

How do you deal with having a crush? It's a popular question you've sent to us, and we tackle it on this week's podcast.

This week, we talk about cussing and cursing and how it really does make a difference. What does using foul language really say about us, and what does God think about it? Tune in today, as we talk about the importance of keeping it clean.

Inspired by a keynote sermon Mr. Gerald Weston gave five years ago, today we tackle the tempting but misleadingly dangerous habit of asking, "Is it OK?" If we're going to think biblically like Jesus did, we have to learn to ask better questions.

We forgot a very important tip in our last podcast on Bible study—so important it was worth doing another one! Listen in, and take advantage of the most obvious Bible study tools you probably aren't thinking about.

Today's podcast was recorded last week while Mr. Phil Sena was still visiting with us, and it focuses on a couple of questions from you . Seems like you want some tips on prayer and meditation—so here you go!

It's been a busy week, so we're sharing this old, early podcast, today, never before aired outside of our YouTube channel! It's the eighth episode of the first season—before we upgraded our mics, in fact, so please forgive the sound quality. This one addresses questions we've received about tattoos. We hope you enjoy it!

In a world that is increasingly political, being representatives of a different kingdom presents its challenges. Join us today as we jump into our (non)relationship to politics and related topics.

It's that time of year again. As Christians who don't keep Christmas, the season presents its special challenges! In this episode, we discuss some of those challenges, prompted by a request from one of our listeners.

A listener-recommended topic today: Gossip! Tempting to do, but so damaging to yourself and others. Today, we dive into gossip and talebearing and give some simple advice both to those who've been the victim of gossip and to those who feel its temptations.

This week, we are thankful —if a little rambly. In this episode, we talk about some of the things for which we are very thankful, and we hope it spurs you to meditate on things you are thankful for, both the obvious things and the not-so-obvious.
