Lena shares her own testimony in this episode and how it applies to our daily struggles. One of the things that young people face is self-comparison. Comparison to friends, comparison to family, comparison to popular figures in the world. So, in this episode, we also cover how you can gain hope and perspective through such challenges.  Grab your notebooks and Bibles and we hope that this episode will inspire, and encourage you on your personal walk with Jesus.

Approximately, 58% of the world's population listens to music. That's over half the number. If that many people take music seriously, then it must be a great topic for us to explore in this episode. Today, our guest Divora shares about two experiments that were done to investigate the drastic effects of music and its influence on the minds of young adults. 

In this episode, we have a special challenge for you and we would like you to participate in it. At the end of the challenge, share with us what you discovered while participating in it. To reach us, you can send us an email at [email protected].

Faith is an essential element of prevailing prayer. “He that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” “If we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us: and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.” Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 5:14, 15. With the persevering faith of Jacob, with the unyielding persistence of Elijah, we may present our petitions to the Father, claiming all that He has promised. The honor of His throne is staked for the fulfillment of His word.—(Prophets and Kings, 157, 158.) Pr 79.3

Often times it's easy to make our prayers so formal that we forget to be vulnerable on our knees. Christ asks us to talk to Him as a friend and there on our knees pour out to Him. In this episode, Elizabeth shares with us the power of unwavering faith combined with prayer. 

We pray that this episode will richly bless you on your walk with Christ.

Have you ever felt like you went too deep in sin that you can't come back to Christ? That's exactly, how the prodigal son felt sitting at the pig's stay. He thought "Even the servants of my father are treated better than I am currently." You know, we have all had those moments in life and the one common question that many youths in such situations have is "Can God accept me well knowing my sins and weaknesses?". Listen to this episode as Leonique shares with us her personal testimony and the story of a man's life who was completely transformed.
