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.

Podcast 117: What to Think About Celebrity Conversions

There’s a growing number of celebrities converting to professing Christianity, Catholicism in particular. It might be someone we couldn’t care less about, or it might be someone we’ve long looked up to. What should we keep in mind when a popular public figure “converts”?

Podcast 115: You Become Your Entertainment

The old saying “You are what you eat” applies to more than physical food. Your entertainment feeds your mind and heart and has a powerful and unavoidable impact on who you will become. So, choose well!

(In a post more than two years ago, Mr. Mark Sandor wrote about a related topic. If you haven’t read it before, you might hop over there later. Here’s a link: “Thinking Biblically: Entertainment.” And while it’s not about entertainment only, we recently posted a few thoughts about Philippians 4:8 here.)

Podcast 114: Be Not Easily Offended

It’s easy to get offended—frankly, it’s become the default status of our culture. However, the ability to avoid being offended is a vital skill for developing real, Christ-honoring relationships of substance, and the Bible has guidance, perspective, and advice for young people seeking to develop that skill. It takes effort and practice, but it’s worth it!

Some Bible passages stand out to us and help us keep a larger picture in mind. When you find those, hold on to them! Today on the podcast, we discuss a few of ours.

Podcast 106: Why We Don’t Engage in Politics

Why don’t we get involved in politics? As the world around us falls apart, it can be increasingly tempting to follow the crowds into the voting booth. But it isn’t God’s way, and with thanks to a listener who asked us about this question, today we discuss why. Please join us!

P.S. Two things! (1) Teen Camp is gearing up! Just like we’ve done before in recent years, we’ll be posting pictures here on LivingYouth.org not long after it starts. Hopefully daily or close to it. So, keep checking in! (2) Mr. Gerald Weston has an excellent Living Church News article coming out on the same topic as today’s podcast, and we should have mentioned it! In fact, it’s already out online, and you can read it right now. The title is tongue-in-cheek: “‘It Is Your Patriotic Duty to Vote.'” (You have to look hard to see the quote marks in the quote marks…) Click through—it’s a quick read and crystal clear!
