Disparate Youth (MEDUN Remix)

Imagine having a bank account that deposits 960 dollars every single day, but with one catch: you can't save any of it for tomorrow. Every night, your balance resets to zero. What would you do? You'd spend every dollar wisely, right? Well, we already have this bank—it's called time. Every morning we wake with 960 minutes, and every night they're gone forever. This powerful metaphor opens our exploration of Ecclesiastes 12, where the ancient teacher confronts us with life's most uncomfortable truth: time is the one resource we can never stockpile, slow down, or earn back. The passage urges us with stunning urgency to 'remember your creator in the days of your youth'—not as a religious obligation, but as the central organizing principle of a life worth living. Through vivid imagery of a decaying house representing our aging bodies, the teacher shows us that death itself becomes our greatest instructor, rattling its chains to wake us up to what truly matters now. The scripture reveals that over 90% of believers come to faith before age 30, underscoring that the spiritual path we pave in youth becomes the road we walk in age. We're challenged to stop measuring out our lives with coffee spoons, avoiding the deep questions, and instead to lose our lives in Christ so we can truly find them. The invitation is beautifully simple yet profoundly challenging: fear God, keep His commandments, and discover that what we surrender to Him is always returned as something infinitely better.

The fourth Fi Belek episode is with Mme Imen Kassebi, Director of the Youth House of Cheraa Fes. She explains how youth houses can play a real role in supporting mental health for young people in Kairouan.

Mme Imen describes how these spaces offer safety, structure, and freedom   places where young women and men can express themselves, discover their talents, speak openly, and feel supported. She highlights how activities, guidance, and community inside youth houses can help young people stay connected, confident, and mentally strong.

This episode shows that youth houses are more than just activity centers they can be a real solution for emotional wellbeing and a positive alternative for teenagers and young adults looking for a safe place to grow.

How do young people engage in the news cycle? Where do they go for information? What content interests them? These are the questions brands, businesses, and governments are asking as they all try to connect with younger audiences. This week on the podcast we speak with someone who has some of those answers.

Billi Fitzsimons is the Editor in Chief at The Daily Aus. It’s a newsroom that’s been designed with young people in mind. This independent newsroom boasts over 2 million visits per month and has a particular style which appeals to vibrant and influential young Australians. Billi eloquently tells us how and where it started, and what’s happening there now.

At The Daily Aus., news is delivered free of opinion, directly to the consumer via many platforms. Podcasting being one of them, and you’ll hear in Billi’s voice her passion for this format. Her recent interview with Opposition Leader Sussan Ley is a great example of podcasting serving its younger audiences, with the questions not too dissimilar to that of traditional media but asked through a young person’s lens.

This young Editor’s desire for storytelling, and appetite for news and content is apparent. The pedigree of media brilliance is not surprising when you discover who Billi’s parentals are (Parentals so Gen X). She shares many hints and tips on how and why brands should front up and connect with younger people. After all, younger people make up a majority voting mass in the community,  having overridden the 'baby boomers' last election. 

Looking forward to watching Billi make her way in the modern media landscape.

“Young and Dumb” is a late-night anthem about the reckless confidence of youth — rushing through life without seeing the warning signs, believing limits don’t apply yet. It captures that blur of neon nights, questionable decisions, and the fearless feeling of right now being all that matters.

Driving electronic grooves push forward like adrenaline. Dreamy synths blur the edges, reflecting how fast everything can go out of focus when you’re caught up in the moment. A reminder that sometimes you only learn where the line is after you cross it.

Youth ministry is not a solo sport, but far too often youth workers feel like they have to do it alone. We are here to help with that. Every week some of the top United Methodist youth workers offer free resources from their real-world ministries. You’ll find everything from games to downloadable lessons to coaching on how to put together a budget.

We hope that when you get online to work, you don’t feel like you have to do it all yourself. We want to be the first place you turn for games, lessons, ideas, coaching, and personal devotions.
