WAA Podcast Episode 3: Is Health Really That Big A Deal? (36:20)

Welcome back to another podcast episode of What's an Adventist?

In case you didn't know studies actually show that Adventists live anywhere between 7-10 years longer than the average world population. Is that just because Adventists eat their "veggies" or is there more to it than that? Join Jesse Sias and Samuel Ikonne as they discuss some of the principles and practices behind Adventists and health (click on title to hear podcast).

Also, this week Jesse and Sam introduce a new segment called the Adven-test. This week's question is: "What two popular cereal brands have an Adventist connection?"

If you know the correct answers (and spell them right) email us along with your mailing address at jxsias@hotmail.com for your chance to win a DVD copy of the PBS documentary, "The Adventists."

WAA Podcast Episode 2: The Seventh Day Sabbath (40:16)

Welcome back to another episode of "What's an Adventist?"

One of the things that sets Adventism apart from other Christian denominations is the fact that Saturday (Sabbath) is observed instead of Sunday. So why do Adventists keep the Sabbath? Isn't Sabbath just a Jewish tradition? What are the challenges that Adventists face in keeping the Sabbath? Jesse Sias and Samuel Ikonne discuss these questions and share their perspective as life long Sabbath keepers.
