Wrestling with the Word: The Disturbing Story of Jepthah

In this episode, Pastor Siyoung hosts alongside Pastor Jacob and Hwihu as they wrestle through the troubling story of Jephthah; a military hero whose rash vow leads to one of the most disturbing moments in all of Scripture. They walk through what actually happened, why it unsettles us, how to interpret it honestly, and what lessons we can carry with us from a story we might rather skip over.

Undivided - A Conversation About Singleness

What does it actually look like to live faithfully, fully, and with undivided devotion to the Lord in the season of singleness? In this episode, Davina sits down with Justin, Han, and Joanna, members and leaders of 7:35, our church's singles ministry for a real, and raw conversation about singleness, identity, contentment, and what it means to try to keep Christ at the center of it all. They talk about who they're becoming, what this season has taught them about themselves, how to hold the desire for marriage without letting it run you, and what it looks like to steward this season well -not perfectly, just faithfully. They also get into how the church can do a better job of loving and walking alongside single people, and what they'd want every single person listening to actually believe about themselves and this season of life. This episode is for the person thriving right now and the person quietly struggling, for the married person who wants to understand their single friends better and it's for anyone who needs to be reminded that their life is not on pause. 7:35 is named after 1 Corinthians 7:35 - that we would live with undivided devotion to the Lord.

Our Worship Philosophy: Music, Discernment, and Staying True to Scripture

How does our church decide what songs we sing, and why does it matter? In this episode, host Davina is joined by Pastor Paul, our intern, and Hwihu, our worship director for an honest and fun conversation about our worship philosophy at our church. They discuss what Colossians 3:16 teaches about congregational singing, common concerns with contemporary worship music (thin theology, emotional manipulation, man-centered lyrics), why a blanket source-based ban falls short, and how our church evaluates songs by content -staying true to Scripture while practicing flexibility without compromise.

Pastors & Politics

In this episode of Living Stones, host Davina is joined by Pastors Paul, Siyoung, and Jacob to tackle the complex and often controversial topic of pastors and politics. Should the church be engaging in political conversations at all? What happens when politics and theology collide and what is the pastor's responsibility when they do? The conversation then turns to one of today's most debated issues: immigration. The pastors talk about why this topic is worthy to bring up, discuss the difference between propaganda and honest reporting, and wrestle with the tension between government responsibility and individual Christian responsibility. This is a conversation for every Christian trying to navigate a noisy, divided world with faith and integrity.     And don’t forget to subscribe to our podcast on Living Stones (https://livingstonescornestone.podbean.com/ [https://livingstonescornestone.podbean.com/]) or follow us on YouTube(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh_qrMU8kkdUBMfsaAefJmZBD9DlV9uIG [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh_qrMU8kkdUBMfsaAefJmZBD9DlV9uIG]) for more Christ-centered conversations!
