Teen Camp 2022: First Day Fun

Teen Camp 2022: Staff Orientation & Arrival Day

Here are some pics from Arrival Day of this year’s LYP Teen Camp 2022. Most of what you see below is before the campers arrive—staff preps their areas of responsibility and works with their teams. Mr. Weston and his team orient the staff and discuss the spiritual principles, the camp’s rules, and the vision behind the program. Later in the day, each team of instructors gets to practice their class with a group of staff members acting as “campers.” It’s a great opportunity to try out their lesson plans in a real instructional environment, get feedback from fellow staff members, and work out any wrinkles before classes begin the next day. Everything is geared toward making sure the camp is up and running so that, when campers arrive, they are coming to a camp that is ready for them! And arrive they do, as you can see in the final pictures. More pics should be on their way soon, so be sure to check back!

LYP Teen Camp 2022 Begins

We hope these very early pics from LYP Teen Camp 2022 serve as a tease for the pics yet to come! Check them out and watch the brief video below. We look forward to posting more as camp continues (probably even later today), so come back soon!

Podcast: Does Numbers 5 mean God is pro-abortion?

Today’s podcast was recorded last night, inspired by a Twitter exchange one of us had with someone suggesting that Numbers 5 is a biblical endorsement of abortion. We thought it would be a worthwhile topic because (1) you guys are going to face scripture-twisting arguments like this, yourself, and (2) the Bible does have some passages that can strike us as “weird” at first reading, and this might be one for you. But it all makes sense if you approach the Bible with your biblical-thinking head on straight. We hope this helps!

We’ve embedded the YouTube video below, but you can also listen on Spotify if you have a Spotify account by clicking here. [Reminder: We’re on Spotify now!]

(As for emailing us, I’ve confirmed that the email address we have is not yet working properly, and I’ve got an email into the HQ IT department to see what’s going on. I’m sure they’ll be able to fix it soon, and we’ll let you know when it is fully working.)

Living Youth Podcast now available on Spotify!

By moderately popular demand, the Living Youth Podcast is now available on Spotify! Thanks for all the encouragement! It will be a while before the backlog of old programs is fully loaded onto the platform, but going forward we hope to get each new one on Spotify. For now, we’ve just selected a few and we hope to load a few extra of the old ones each month as we load new ones. Our next target is the Apple Podcast app, but let us know if there are other platforms we should consider.

Our thanks to Mr. Jonathan McNair for helping us figure out what we needed to do, based on what they’ve learned in Living Ed by getting Mr. Frank’s up and running. We appreciate it!

The Spotify page is below for those who are interested. And, again, please feel free to share any feedback, ideas, or questions at [email protected].

P.S. It looks like our podcast about how Captain America: Civil War helps demonstrate how the world needs Jesus Christ is flagged as “Explicit”! Oops! I was all ready to blame Spotify, but the error was ours (sneaky checkbox accidentally hit). Rest assured, it’s totally not “explicit” and is fully Colossians 3:8 compliant! The incorrect label should rectify itself in 24 hours or so. And believe us, the last thing we’d want to do is have Cap say “Language!”
