You’re not lost! Welcome to the Living Youth Website!

You can scroll down to browse posts in chronological order, or you can click/tap on the links below if you have something specific in mind:

P.S. August 16, 2024: We’ve noticed the formatting has changed on our podcast posts, forcing the Spotify embeds to take up way more vertical space than they need. We are compensating by embedding them differently starting today, but for older posts, if there is a bunch of space under a Spotify embed, just keep scrolling! We’ll address the others when we can.

Podcast 123: Why Giving Thanks Matters

Today, Friend of the Podcast Phil Sena, in town for Thanksgiving, joins us to discuss why taking the time to give thanks is important.

(Also, here’s a link to the Tomorrow’s World article that Mr. Robinson mentioned: “Hacking Thankfulness.”)

[Note: For some odd reason, the YouTube feature for the website was not working well when we first posted it, so in the event that happens again and you really prefer YouTube to the other options, you can (as always) stroll out to the YouTube Living Youth Programs channel where you will find it waiting, and you can also click this link right here to go straight to this episode. However, it seems to be working now, so hopefully it is embedded below and ready for you!]

LE Students Visit the Waldensian Trail of Faith

Recently, the Living Education–Charlotte students took a field trip to the Waldensian Trail of Faith to learn a little more about part of our spiritual heritage. The video below and others can be found on the Living Ed YouTube channel. Check it out the video, then check out the channel!

Podcast 122: An Update on Africa from Mr. Peter Nathan!

We took advantage of the recent Council of Elders meetings to get Mr. Peter Nathan to join us in the podcast studio for an update on the brethren and the Work in Africa. Join us and listen in!

[Note: We don’t know why the podcast is taking so long to show on Apple Podcasts, but we will come back later once we’ve seen it there and add it to those below. If you’ve subscribed to the feed on that app, you will likely see it there before we do! In the meantime, here are links to YouTube and Spotify. UPDATE: It’s there now!]

Podcast 121: Thinking Biblically About the U.S. Election

Passions are still pretty high in many places about the recent U.S. Presidential election and the aftermath. And when passions are high, thinking biblically is the best way to keep your head on straight. So, as promised last time, we talk about it this week. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Rather than review old ground, we refer to several old podcasts in this episode, such as “Meditations on an Almost-Assassination,” “Politics, Jury Duty, and the Military,” and “Conspiracy Thinking (and Not Thinking).” But don’t forget, not only are old episodes available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and the Living Youth YouTube channel, you can also find all 120 plus this one in one place here on the podcast page.

Podcast 120: A Few Memories from the Feast 2024

We’re back! In this last episode of this season, we briefly reflect on some experiences from this past Feast of Tabernacles and encourage you to do the same. Hope you had a great one!

Podcast 119: More Looking Forward to the Millennium

This week, a listener request… As the two of us gear up to travel out of the country to serve at Feast of Tabernacles observances, we have Christ’s millennial reign on the brain! Today, we discuss five things that we are looking forward to about that reign. We hope this will inspire your own discussions as you head to your own Feast sites around the world!

And this will be our last podcast until after the Feast. So, wherever you are going, be safe, and rejoice that tomorrow’s world is on the way! God willing, we’ll see you again in November.

[BTW, in the podcast, we mention last year’s podcast, where we talked about the first five things (I think it was five…). You can check out that one here: Podcast 71: Looking Forward to the Millennium. We also mention Mr. Bill Bowmer’s Tomorrow’s World article about human speech, language, and God’s design. Click through to read that one.]

Podcast 118: Hearing the Trumpets Now

While the seven trumpets of the Day of the Lord are still ahead of us, can we hear them now? Do our lives reflect our belief that they really will sound? In this week’s episode, we discuss how the knowledge of what lies ahead should affect our lives today.
