25.01.2022 Check out the talk towards the end - a familiar face admits his phobia of smart phone apps & why Covid saved him from it. He also seems really 'thirsty' to tell you about another fear & its solution ('If only you knew..' - Jn4:10). ENJOY!

25.01.2022 Our 2020 silly/skit video's start tomorrow - but first, a few quick facts about our team.

24.01.2022 Stuck in your own backyard - why not join an eating challenge? (Just beware of risks in your surrounds). Investigative reporter Bruce Lee unpacks the origins of a Melbourne battler.

22.01.2022 Here's some great footage from YL international, that sums up why this work matters. No words required. Hoping to reach even more for 2020-21 from our Mt. Waverley base.

19.01.2022 As South Australia discovers some of their own 'Sleep-over' mini lockdown techniques, we remind our viewers here how Monash Man served his 1mth sentence (a ban on video-making), & quietly won the respect of the community to come back and try again. An Instagram poll was then enough to convince "Young Life's Manager" to take another look at him. (& Don't miss the BONUS feature at the end: Winter mental health check)... NOW: A history-making week in Melbourne has been noted - ZERO active Covid-19 cases, and on our way towards a brighter Christmas! Thank you God. But let's pray also for the Northern Hemisphere, who are in the thick of it.

19.01.2022 Here's an Iso message from SYG (starts 8mins in). You hear people say "I can't wait to get back to NORMAL", but should we strive for all to be as it was? Instead ask yourself "What's my ideal NEW normal?" Be intentional & BUILD a new normal. Think carefully what you RE-PACK into your life (cos it won't all be helpful)

19.01.2022 Wow, looks like camp in SA was a water-ski fest! Can't wait to offer teens in Melbourne a ski day - details coming soon!

18.01.2022 Endorsed by Tony the Italian, what could possibly go wrong? The team try a Live broadcast. Plenty of drama in this 5min skit - Mr. Robinson's finale, part of Young Life's Lockdown experiences. Who wants to be a host now? Remember to sanitise your hands - here's Part 3 of his brain-teasers. Hygiene IS EVERYTHING!

18.01.2022 Here's a neat reminder while house-bound: What's behind my mood?

15.01.2022 Our friends in Young Life Asia Pacific asked us to boil down what makes Christmas in Australia special. Here's what we came up with - pt 1: Song & Lights! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday break & stayed off social media a bit :) But now that it's past, please COMMENT for us - what traditions make the Christmas/New Year season special for you?

13.01.2022 Where has 2020 gone? Through it all, we've been creating new ways to BE THERE for you. In case you missed how we started off, here's a FlashBack to 27 April, where the Toss n Catch characters emerged, to make us smile a bit more. One of my fav's!

13.01.2022 Thanks for viewing parts or all of our 'Lockdown' series with Monash Man & Bruce Lee. Hopefully this video prompts you to think past our silliness & reflect deeper on your personal journey. Residents of Melbourne - keep praying that our current lifestyle hangs-in-there! We're praying that schools will return as normal in a few weeks, and our Drop-In Space will be available for Monash-area teens from early FEB. It's been fun making these posts for you -- thanks to all for... their contributions. Remember - it's not too late to SHARE our page with a FRIEND. Young Life Monash exists to make timely connections with Young people in THEIR world. If you'd like to know more about our plans & team, drop us a message HERE, or email: [email protected] Blessings!

12.01.2022 Well we've nearly made it to the end of 2020. Life's commitments have been gradually restoring. We trust you are well, but not taking things for granted yet. Here's one last laugh for you, to remember the Lockdown days, when survival mode kicked in. (This was published on Instagram back in SEPT) Bear Grylls' quote reference & book can easily be found by Mr Google. There's more relevant faith & bible quotes being posted at Young Life Australia.... Thanks for following our series & keep our young people in mind, that they enjoy the end of the school year safely. HAPPY COMPOSTING! -MM & Bruce, 2020

07.01.2022 Back during Lockdown #1, I asked myself 'Is technology a time-waster, or a lifesaver?' 4 months on, in a stricter lockdown, I vote lifesaver, as long as its used well! Here's my thoughts on trying something new (from John ch.4) and how we should share a good thing when we find it. Thirsting for more? - I wonder what keeps you going daily... - I wonder what new thing you've tried, that surprised you, overcome a fear Still no gym unfortnuately :( #john4 See more

07.01.2022 Thanks for sticking with our Lockdown series - today we want to BROADEN your opinion of what Young Life does (in case you thought we couldn't go for 5min without a wig in a skit). Each week during the height of Australian school closures, teens on Instagram could interact with a talk LIKE THIS ONE. As youth groups / students were trying to fit Covid into their Worldview, Young Life leaders went through the account of Jesus' life (through the eyes of his friend John) & comp...osed a picture of what God really is like, chapter-by-chapter. Our leaders are passionate about being ready for the questions young people have about the BIBLE, and we want to be an authentic source in every season that teens go through. I'd love to receive a comment below from you, or a direct message if you want to ask me about part of the talk. Please watch this through & think of those who you could share it with: Introduce them to 'the Helper' (John 16) You can find the whole series of INSTA Club talks on YL's YouTube & the YLAustralia FB page.

07.01.2022 Did you know... that having a prescribed worry time can help manage the loss-of-control felt in lockdown? Put aside a set time of day to deliberately focus on your worries. (Won't that make things worse? Dwelling in it!) Actually, your brain isn't happy with you trying to pretend it's all ok, or 'covering-up' the fear, so it will constantly raise a red-flag in your gut. By facing it head-on for a few minutes allows us to move forward for the rest of the day.... Within this worry time, focus your thoughts on what I CAN control, rather than what is outside our ability. Accept your limits for the day, and give thanks for something small that you did achieve yesterday. Loss of control doesn't need to eat us up. Take a daily pause & your emotional pulse. Young Life leaders are in the same boat too, guys. Worry affects us all. In it together. AW

07.01.2022 A late audition clip & greeting from a friend / past volunteer + some of our MESSIEST memories at Mt. Wav's Drop-In Space. But please view right through for our invite & challenge to YOU: We're more than just silly videos & mess. Join us! (leaders/participants) AND Young Life exists all over the world, so ...before we get to Mr Robninson's 3rd brainteaser video, ..start searching for your nearest group. FYI - James tells me lockdown looms close by in Canada too. Chin up & be kind everyone.

07.01.2022 Gym membership still frozen from Covid? Grab a fruitbox, some buckets, playdough (or something you don't like stepping in) for these Home Exercise home HACKS from Young Life. Get creative (but don't mix up your props). -MM, Battler

07.01.2022 Check out our own 'Tony', + the 'Bored of Isol games', & a fantastic message on John ch3 + Lego (from the team at Young Life) Key point: New life matters!

05.01.2022 After a rushed appointment, Mr Robinson seems to be settling into his role well as Melbourne's Lockdown Host for Young Life. His specialty: Logic problems! Don't worry, he'll give you some 'thinking music' to work them out. So get your elbow bumps ready and sanitise your hands - here's Part 2 of his brain-teasers.

04.01.2022 What makes Christmas in Australia special? pt 2: Food! please COMMENT for us - what FOOD is a tradition to serve on your table around Christmas? Soon after the New Year, a Young Life tradition launches - Summer Camps! So many great meals are spent in cabin groups... ... Food, Fun & Total acceptance. See more

03.01.2022 Awesome work by Year 7, 8 students while stuck in Lockdown - what's your fav trick-shot? Once Young Life re-opens its Wadham House Drop-In Space, you'll have to bring them skills down & show us in real life!

02.01.2022 YL Monash's 'light relief' is on it's way. Let's process Covid a little bit through the eyes of another, and get creative on how YOU might tell a lockdown story one day. Keep watching & keep your chin up!
