The Psalms have some pretty violent imagery in them! If they are models for us, in many ways, about how to really pour your heart out to God in prayer, then what are we to do with these "angry psalms"? Mr. Robinson is here to help us out!
The question doesn't just perplex those new to the idea—sometimes those of us who have heard of it before find ourselves worrying about it. Just what is the "unpardonable sin"? Have I committed it? How would I know? On today's episode of the Living Youth Podcast, we answer these questions.
Influencers on social media are called that for a reason—they are extremely effective at influencing those who watch them. Their lives, attitudes, and apparent success can be extremely appealing, such that those who watch or listen come to want what the person or couple online seems to have. You might think you're too savvy to be influenced, but don't be too sure. Not only would 1 Corinthians 10:12 like to have a word, but the money talks too: Influencing is a multi-billion dollar industry becau...
Today, we answer the question of whether God is a socialist or a capitalist, and, spoiler alert, He's neither. His approach to economics—the approach Jesus Christ will bring to this earth in the years just ahead of us—is miles above every "ism" of mankind. And He wants you to be a messenger for His way, not a drone drafted into the ideological war going on between today's megaphone-enhanced advocates and activists. Listen in as we explore some of the principles and examples of God's approach to ...
There is a war going on for your mind, seeking to conscript you into various ideological crusades and conflicts. These days—at least in the U.S.—one of the most passionate is taking place between defenders of capitalism and advocates of socialism. It might seem rather abstract, but yesterday's boring academic debates are turning into today's street fights and riots. And drafting young minds is the key, both sides seem to think, to winning the battle for their side. So, if they are fighting for y...
Love is a very good thing. After all, the Apostle John said "God is love" for a reason. but both the world and individuals in the world weaponize "love" in a number of ways that, frankly, have nothing to do with real love, at all. Join us this week as we explain how.
We often talk in sermons and articles about parenting, but what about being more parentable? What can you do that will allow God to more fully lead and develop you through the parents He has given you? Join us as we take a look together!
A week ago, there was a lot of buzz about a simulation in which an A.I. drone was said to have chosen to attack its own side to prevent its human controller from holding it back as it sought to destroy enemy targets. Then, word came that it was all supposedly a "thought experiment." Meanwhile, experts sign a letter claiming that A.I. could cause human extinction. Will A.I. destroy the world? (Spoiler alert... Short answer: "No." Long answer: "OK, maybe a little—and, in the meantime, what career ...
Today, we ask a question that's important for each of us to answer: Why the Living Church of God? Contrary to the sentiment of many in this world, Jesus is not an "attend the church of your choice" sort of Messiah. He wants us to attend the church of His choice. There are real, biblical guidelines for discovering where Christ is working and where you should go, and we discuss them in this episode of the Living Youth Podcast.
God says not to bear false witness. But what's so bad about lying? What about "little white lies"? It's worth thinking about. Truth and reality go hand in hand...
This has probably been one of our most requested topics: friendship. Today, we'll look at five passages in the Bible that teach us something about friendship. They are certainly not the only passages, and some might be surprising! But if this episode is helpful, we'll plan on doing more on this topic in the future.
This week, we asked Mr. Jonathan McNair to stop by and tell us all about the upcoming L4T event. Join us and listen in!
This week we have the privilege of sitting down with two good friends visiting from the Church's Canadian HQ, Mr. Michael Heykoop and Mr. Javid Khan, to talk about Canada's very vital part in God's Work around the world and to learn a little more about their mysterious and exotic nation. Enjoy!
Romans 1:18–32 does a pretty thorough job explaining why our world is terrible—and the thinking you need to avoid to prevent falling into the same trap. And it's a trap being laid for the young, specifically, more than anyone else. Don't fall for it!
A lazy podcast at the end of a very busy week, but still hopefully a helpful one! A listener asked us to explain our work backgrounds and what brought us to where we are today, so we jump in and answer. And, still, there are opportunities to model biblical thinking. We hope you get something out of it, and for those in the middle of the Days of Unleavened Bread, we pray that the Festival is a profitable one for you!
We've all done it. Adam and Eve did it! But it's not helpful. Blaming others . It blinds us and twists our thinking. But there is real power in "owning up" to our mistakes, errors, and sins. As the Spring Holy Days approach and we are all examining ourselves, let's consider the effect of blaming others for our choices and aim at doing better.
The deleavening that you do leading up to the Days of Unleavened Bread can bring some sweet, sweet meditations. There are a lot of lessons packed into that crumb-sweeping! Today, we flash back to some lessons we've learned, and we hope they inspire you to do some meditating yourself this season.
Today we answer a question from a listener: With the world getting worse as Jesus Christ's return approaches nearer, how should a young person think about his or her future?
Sometimes you just want the Bible to spell out all the "dos and don'ts" of things in all their details, but it doesn't. Is that a bug or a feature? Join us today as we chat about why God might choose to handle some things this way.
Well, just as the March 2023 issue of Tomorrow's World is hitting subscribers' mailboxes, we've just finished creating the April-May 2023 issue. And with it still fresh in our minds, we thought we'd give you a preview. Asking whether we're sleepwalking into WWIII, pondering the possibility of an A.I. information apocalypse, warning against the dangers of perfectionism, explaining why world leaders can't fix anything, and more—we think this issue has a lot that deserves your attention!...
Artificial intelligence is quickly moving from behind the curtain to the very front of the stage, as increasingly intelligent chatbots, image generators, and more are entering mainstream use by "regular" folks. Join us for a bot-free chat as we ponder a bit together about what these new tools mean.
The Grammys and the Super Bowl halftime show are times when our culture spends a lot of money to put its values on display. And, on the whole, they were celebrations of perversity. Let's talk about why.
How do you deal with having a crush? It's a popular question you've sent to us, and we tackle it on this week's podcast.
This week, we talk about cussing and cursing and how it really does make a difference. What does using foul language really say about us, and what does God think about it? Tune in today, as we talk about the importance of keeping it clean.
Inspired by a keynote sermon Mr. Gerald Weston gave five years ago, today we tackle the tempting but misleadingly dangerous habit of asking, "Is it OK?" If we're going to think biblically like Jesus did, we have to learn to ask better questions.
We forgot a very important tip in our last podcast on Bible study—so important it was worth doing another one! Listen in, and take advantage of the most obvious Bible study tools you probably aren't thinking about.
Today's podcast was recorded last week while Mr. Phil Sena was still visiting with us, and it focuses on a couple of questions from you . Seems like you want some tips on prayer and meditation—so here you go!
You want to study your Bible, but it seems intimidating sometimes. Is there a simple way to get started? Our guest today, Mr. Phil Sena, pastor of Living Church of God congregations in Ohio, offers helpful advice to get you past your excuses and into your Bible!
It's been a busy week, so we're sharing this old, early podcast, today, never before aired outside of our YouTube channel! It's the eighth episode of the first season—before we upgraded our mics, in fact, so please forgive the sound quality. This one addresses questions we've received about tattoos. We hope you enjoy it!
In a world that is increasingly political, being representatives of a different kingdom presents its challenges. Join us today as we jump into our (non)relationship to politics and related topics.
