This episode is part of our HOUSE Conference 2025 lead‑up series from Youthworks, exploring this year’s theme — The Cost and Joy of Sacrifice.

In this episode, we share the full audio of the conference paper The Cost and Joy of Being a Living Sacrifice, written by Dr Viv Cheung. This biblical studies paper digs deeply into the language of sacrifice in the Bible and will help you engage more fully with the theological ideas we’ll be discussing together at HOUSE.

These papers are designed to take us from deep reflection in Scripture and theology to practical application in youth and children’s ministry. As you listen, be thinking about how the principles you hear might shape the way you disciple the next generation in your church.

If you haven’t already, we recommend listening first to our taster episode (The Cost and the Joy of Sacrifice | House Taster 2025) for an accessible introduction to the topic.
