‘Teens: What They Don’t Tell Their Parents’ is a relaxed, practical evening for parents and carers who want to stay connected with their teens through the tricky years.

We’re looking for volunteers who are keen to jump on the phones to take donations during our March appeal or assist with hospitality.

This week on 89.9 TheLight, Rob and Ash unpacked what really brings lasting joy — and it may be simpler than we think. Reflecting on a recent Herald Sun article, they explored why chasing happiness can backfire and why a full life includes both joy and struggle. From shared experiences and volunteering to prioritising sleep and noticing life’s small delights, the conversation reminded us that gratitude and connection are often the true keys to happiness. Tune in to Rob & Ash weekdays 3–6pm on 89.9 TheLight 💛

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (ESV)
