Have you ever wondered why we have a Living Youth Program? This post provides insight into the mission, history and principles that underpin the purpose of the program.

Every book, movie, or miniseries we consume presents an opportunity to practice biblical thinking. So do our conversations later with others about it. So, we practice that today, ourselves, by looking at some of Jane Austen’s works—favorites of some of our listeners—and discuss biblical principles they might prompt us to consider.
At some point in the lives of young adults, dates begin to narrow from showing someone a nice time or enjoying a social activity with a friend to “OK, which of these folks are husband or wife material?” (Or, equally important, “Am I husband or wife material?”) On today’s episode, we take a listener question and apply some biblical thinking to the question of “red flags” and “green flags” concerning the sort of people we should be looking for—and striving to be—as the possibilities of marriage open up.
During the episode, we also mention old podcasts we’ve done on dating, as well as some other resources. Here is a filtering of this website that should collect a number of resources that mention dating—not just podcasts, but some articles, as well.
We know it’s a weird title, but bear with us for a bit… Lift the hood (or bonnet for some of our non-U.S. friends) on A.I. and you see some strange things. But some of those strange things can teach us a lot about our own battle with human nature and about what God is trying to achieve in our lives. Join us today as we look at just one fascinating (if a little terrifying) example.
In God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.
Passover is a little more than a week away! As the first of God’s annual festivals and the one picturing Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for us, it has much to teach us. Join us today as we discuss five lessons we learn from this momentous day.
We mention a sermon in this week’s podcast—Mr. Gerald Weston’s sermon, “Passover Resolutions.” If you’re interested, click through to see it. It is a great message for this important time of year.

Podcast 193: Jane Austen & Biblical Thinking

So, we practice that today, ourselves, by looking at some of Jane Austen’s works—favorites of some of our listeners—and discuss biblical principles they might prompt us to consider.
The earlier podcast referred to near the beginning, by the way, is right here: “Podcast 115: You Become Your Entertainment.”

Podcast 190: Seven Tools for Self-Examination
/in Podcast/by Wallace Smith and John RobinsonIn God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.
We also mention a few resources in the podcast. One is the 2023 LCN article, “How to Fast,” and the other is a new Whiteboard on the topic of fasting. We also refer to an old podcast of ours on prayer and biblical meditation (at least I think that is the one).
And we pray you all have a wonderful Sabbath and joyous start to the Spring Holy Days!
