Podcast 83: What Does It Mean to “Not Grieve as Others Do”?

/in /by

It’s been a sobering week of the sort that Ecclesiastes 7 highlights as an opportunity to reflect and learn. So today, we ponder the Apostle Paul’s statement in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 that Christians do not grieve in the way others do. We hope you find it helpful. On the Living Youth website, you will find related sermons.

The usual platforms are available below. Also, here are links to sermons referred to in the podcast and others on the same topic.

P.S. Hopefully, you are experiencing no difficulties on Apple or Spotify. We had technical difficulties with this episode—well, actually, we uploaded the wrong audio! After updating it, it took a while for Apple to come around, and we’re hoping our efforts to fix that did not mess up Spotify as a consequence. If you experience difficulties, let us know.

Podcast 82: Was the British Empire the Worst Ever?—with Mr. Mark Sandor!

With special guest Mr. Mark Sandor, we look at a poll that claims the British Empire was the worst empire in history. Weighing facts with a clear head is an important part of thinking critically—and biblically! Listen in and learn with us.

P.S. For some reason, one was a special challenge to finalize in GarageBand, as one of the tracks kept getting randomly muted. We think we figured out a way around it, so if there are any audio difficulties, just let us know at [email protected].

/in /by

It’s a privilege this week to have Mr. Gerald Weston on the podcast to talk about having the right perspective on the future and why teens and young adults can rest their hopes in what God has in store for them.

[We mention an older podcast, “How Can I Have Hope for My Future?” That one can be found here.]

Podcast 78: A Tale of Two Godzillas

/in /by

Well, one of us saw a movie recently. With both America and Japan taking cinema’s most famous “big lizard” out for a spin, we talk about the differences in their approaches and try to model biblically shaped thinking and perspective when processing the offerings of pop culture.

P.S. For some reason, the Spotify embedding is not currently working. We’ve tested it with old episodes that worked before, and it is not working for any of them. So, we presume it is a temporary Spotify issue (even the Spotify app was acting a bit buggy). So, if Spotify is your platform of choice, it is not embedded below, but should still work. That is, you can still find us on Spotify if you search for us, or you can try this link.

Podcast 77: Girlboss, Soft Girl, Trad Wife, or …?

/in /by

Social archetypes are shoved onto young women from all sides—moving from “fashionable” to “cringy” so fast they might make your head spin. Today, we take a look at the Girlboss idea, the Soft Girl era that wants to replace it, and the Trad Wife phenomenon, and then consider what God says a young woman should actually aim for. It might surprise you!

The usual platforms are below. But first, we mention a couple of sermons in these podcasts—here also are links to those.
