Welcome to the Living Youth website!

A big hello to any first-time visitors! Here’s all you need to know…

  • If you want to apply for camp, don’t hang around here! You can click here or click on the big blue button in the margin (if you’re on a laptop), and you will be taken to the application page. Or, if you’d like to see pics from past camps, just type “camp” in the search box and look all you’d like!
  • You might be here for the weekly podcast. If so, you can scroll down to the most recent one or just click right here for the whole collection of 90+ (so far) episodes. It is also available on all major podcast platforms (at least the ones we know about), including Spotify, Apple, and Google. The newest one is likely right below this post, though, so feel free to scroll on through and tap or click to your heart’s content.
  • As for other original content, we’ve had some nice starts, but we are still growing in that area. Still, if you’re willing to explore, you will find written posts about modesty (for both men and women), overcoming a sense of how intimidating the Bible can be, an exploding whale, and more—hopefully, with more to come. We also do occasional additional videos, such as “Five Questions” interviews with individuals here at HQ to help you get to know the people behind the scenes. Keep coming back and keep an eye on what we add!
  • We occasionally highlight key moments in LCG sermons or articles you might find especially interesting.
  • And when we stumble across fascinating content outside of the LCG-o-sphere, we try to highlight those items, as well. (E.g., how do America’s river systems help make it so OP? And just how amazing is our immune system, anyway?)
  • Finally, if you’d like to give feedback or suggest topics about the podcast or make suggestions about the website in general, you can contact us here in Editorial at [email protected].

Podcast 92: The Pros and Cons of Science Fiction

Science fiction is still popular, as recent box-office results illustrate. But indulging in fiction of any sort requires us to keep our biblical worldview in place and our biblically thinking brains engaged, with sci-fi, as a genre, presenting some special challenges in this regard. Today, we talk about that and hope you’ll join us!

Also, we mention a split sermon in this week’s podcast. Here it is: “Processing Data in Fakeworld.”

Podcast 91: Q&A Potpourri!

This week we tackle a collection of short questions from listeners: Why are Sabbath services structured the way they are? How do we relate to people outside the Church? And how do we discern God’s will? We hope to do more Q&A Potpourri episodes in the future, so let us know what you think!

P.S. Adding this a week later. The sermon mentioned in the podcast just dropped on YouTube an hour ago! Feel free to click here to watch or listen to Mr. Jonathan McNair’s sermon “A Biblical Perspective on Knowing God and His Will.”

Podcast 90: IVF and Emotion-Based Morals

The Alabama Supreme Court decision in February 2024, declaring embryos created for purposes of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to be children has generated shockwaves in the political realm and is exposing just how much what is right or wrong is grounded in little more than emotion and what our hearts tell us. But how will we think about such things if we are biblically minded? Listen and find out.

[Also, the podcast with Mr. Sandor we refer to in this podcast can be found by clicking here or going to the podcast page and clicking on “Episode 6: Christians and the Constitution.” Wow—that was a long time ago! We also refer to a commentary from 2006 titled “Stem Cell Research—What BOTH Sides Miss”—also a long time ago!]
