Podcast 156: A Truth “Too Wonderful for Me”

/in /by

Today, we take a brief look at a beautiful truth that King David felt was simply too wonderful for him—beyond his reach to fully grasp and appreciate. If we reflect on it, we can begin to see where he was coming from and benefit from the perspective it provides.

And, BTW, don’t forget to check out all the posts about the teen camp, which is wrapping up this weekend! Click here to check them out.

Podcast 154: How to Love Your Country: Patriotism and the Bible

/in /by

First, we know a lot of you are traveling to the 2025 Texas Teen Camp right now. If so, have a safe trip! And if you have loved ones there or just want to know what’s going on, be sure to come back here to the website often and look for new posts or click on “Camp” in the menu. There are already pics there from Adventure Camp (welcome back everyone!)—and thanks, by the way, for the little video you sent of everyone there listening to the podcast! Certainly gave us the warm fuzzies. 🙂

So, check back later and look for camp posts and pics! And you should be able to see pics on LYP social media feeds, as well.

As for the podcast—well, it’s Fourth of July weekend here in the United States, when America celebrates its independence. With that in mind, it seemed fitting to address a question that comes up from time to time: Is patriotism biblical? Are loving one’s country and being a Christian compatible? Join us as we talk about it!

Podcast 149: The Surprising Blessings of a Physical Bible

/in /by

As helpful as digital Bibles can be, there are real blessings and benefits to spending time with physical, tangible, good ol’ paper Bibles. Here’s why you should put down the Bible app, close the laptop, and “go analog” more often with your Bible reading and study.

P.S. We also discuss my terrible editing of the previous podcast (Sorry about that!), and we refer to a Living Church News article in this episode that explains why we primarily use the New King James Version as our default translation in the Living Church of God. Here is a link to that article: “Why the New King James Version?”

P.P.S. It appears that the Spotify embedded player will not appear unless you accept Marketing cookies, like the YouTube player, but we don’t have a specialized HTML code snippet for that. But don’t worry! If you are subscribed on Spotify, it’s still there! Or, you can just follow this link.

Podcast 139: What Is a Date, Anyway?

/in /by

The world has completely ruined dating to the point that even the meaning of the word “date” has been lost. This week, we discuss some principles behind dating to help make it the wonderful part of life it really can be when we are willing to think biblically.

In this week’s podcast, we mention two Tomorrow’s World articles you’ll want to read if dating is of interest. Here are the links!

Podcast 135: When Honoring Your Parents Seems Difficult

/in /by

God wants us to obey His commands even when they are difficult to obey. And, in a broken world, even the Fifth Commandment—to honor our father and mother—can present real challenges. Today, we discuss some of those challenges and how to approach them.

Also, in this episode we highlight a fantastic sermon in which Mr. Rod McNair discusses some children with a very famous—or, perhaps, infamous—father and how they ultimately honored him. You can watch it here on YouTube: “The Surprising Legacy of the Sons of Korah.”

Podcast 134: Christ’s Return Is Not (Just) About You

/in /by

If life seems good, we might be tempted to think we’d like Christ’s return to come later instead of ASAP, maybe after we’ve “lived” a little more. But with a little perspective, it becomes clear: We have every reason to pray with sincere conviction, “Your kingdom come!” Join us as we talk about it.
