Today, Mr. Phil Sena joins us again to discuss steps teens and young adults can take to embrace the fact that the Church of God is not just their parents’ church, but theirs as well. Join us!
We mention at least two resources in the podcast. Here are links to get to them:
Mr. Mark Sandor is in town for the big family weekend, so we decided to take advantage of his presence to address some questions submitted by our wonderful listeners. On this episode, we have questions about who can keep the Passover, when to counsel for baptism, avoiding worldly attitudes about dating, and being open with God in prayer. We hope you’ll join us!
We mention several resources in today’s podcast. Here are links to each:

If we’re willing to step out in faith and observe the Bible’s holy days—the feasts of God listed in its pages and kept by the first-century Church—instead of the counterfeit days proffered to us by counterfeit Christianity, we find there are many blessings that become ours. In this episode, we discuss five blessings we hope you won’t take for granted. Join us!
In this week’s podcast, we encourage you to read (or read again!) the booklet The Holy Days: God’s Master Plan. You might already have it in your home, but if not, you can find it at that link. (Or this one!)

It might seem paradoxical, but it’s a fact: Christians don’t celebrate Christmas. And they don’t because Jesus would not want them to. If following Christ means anything to you at all, then listen in this week to learn what everyone needs to understand this time of year.
Many know they should be studying their Bible, but it can feel intimidating. But don’t let doubt (or the devil) stop you! You can do it! Join us today as we give you six approaches to getting over the hump and getting started in your Bible study.
Also, we mentioned one Living Youth post, one LCN article, and two older podcasts in this episode. That’s a lot of mentioning! Here are links to those things—then, below, the different streaming services with this week’s podcast episode.

Today, Mr. Phil Sena stops by, and we talk about the vital importance of taking personal responsibility—especially in a world that is passionately teaching us to invest more in blaming others or characterizing ourselves as victims. Join us as we open our Bibles and see what God has to say on the topic.

It’s easy to think that we can be one way when we’re alone and another in public, or to buy into the idea that one’s private, personal choices are not in any way anyone else’s business, because one has nothing to do with the other. But, in reality, the inside always impacts the outside, and individual choices do have societal ramifications. Let’s apply some biblical thinking to the question.
P.S. You know, we lamented at the end of this podcast that we had not provided more tips and advice on how to address what’s on the inside. We’ve talked about doing an episode on shepherding your heart, and we probably should! So, as a small step in that direction, we thought it would be helpful to share one of Dr. Roderick Meredith’s sermons on having a positive attitude. There is more to say, to be sure, but at least this can help get you started! Here it is: “Build a Positive Attitude!”
