Fresh from his star turn in this year’s “Behind the Work” video about the preaching of the Gospel in Africa and our growing band of brothers and sisters there, Mr. Peter Nathan joins us in the podcast studio—a.k.a. Mr. Robinson’s office. We hope you enjoy this interview, in which we get a bit of his personal background and how he became involved in the Work in Africa!

On the podcast this week, we address a question from one of our young adult listeners. As the world turns increasingly twisted, there are growing pressures on Christians in the workforce to compromise their values. This listener asks us what choices a young person can make to help prepare for that. We take on the question, along with our special guest, Mr. Jonathan McNair, Director of Living Education for the Living Church of God.

(And not only will this be the last podcast until after the Feast of Tabernacles is over, but it may also be the last post of any sort here on the Living Youth website until after the Feast, as well. but we do have more in the works! We are looking forward to posting Christian Living classes from this past year’s teen camp, new videos, new essays from new writers, new podcasts, and other goodies we find here and there. So, until then, have a wonderful Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day!)

Note: For some reason, this Spotify episode is not embedding well. However, following this link should take you there just fine. If it doesn’t, let us know and we’ll try to fix it. If the embedding gets better, we’ll come back, refresh all of this, and you’ll never know there was any problem at all… 🙂

P.S. The built-in Spotify embed tool is still wonky, but this workaround seems to do the trick. Hopefully you see the embed below.

After a sort-of-accidental break last week, we’re back! And we could not help but talk about the queen in this podcast episode. The death of Queen Elizabeth II should prompt us to consider some very important things regardless of our nationality—including biblical connections that few understand. Her death symbolizes the end of an era in many ways and reminds us of just how different our current era truly is. We hope you enjoy the discussion. The YouTube and Spotify links are right below. Also, we mention a few other items in the podcast, and those, as well as some additional resources, are listed below the YouTube and Spotify embeds—just scroll a little lower!

• Booklet: The United States and Great Britain in Prophecy
• Video, Canadian Telecast: “The Real History of the British Monarchy”
• P.S. I forgot we were going to share this, too! Here is the speech we mentioned (very quaintly raw footage when creating such things were fairly new, with camera changes and “start overs”), recorded in Cape Town, South Africa, in which the young Elizabeth says she will devote her life to her people’s service. It was actually something she said when she was only 21, around four years before becoming queen. The part we had in mind begins here at 4:50, and we’ve started the clip at that link a little early so you can get the context of her discussion of the oath taken by her ancestors as they reached adulthood. You’ll need to watch it past the first camera change. (She actually does it twice for two camera takes, and the clip ends during the second take). But you might consider listening to the whole clip from the beginning, as it’s only 7 to 8 minutes long. In particular, something I noted in watching the whole thing, that I had not seen when I found the small clip, was her comments to her age-wise peers (a lot of you guys!) about coming into adulthood. She notes that reaching such an age in life is the time to take on the burdens of one’s elders who have sacrificed so much to protect the childhood of the young. It really struck me, and I wish I had heard something like that when I was 21. In fact, I might even make the video a separate post. We hope you find her words inspirational and motivational.
