Most young life boys have a certain brand that has evolved over the years to be uniquely YL. Goodbye, the days of the preppy boy in vineyard vines. Hello, the edgy Christian who is chasing after the Lord in ministry and can count on multiple hands the number of young life camps he has been to. Although everyone is unique and fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), they seem to have a certain brand that I could pick out anywhere. So let's take a look at the 26 things that make up a young life boy.
1. Small mustache
2. Melenzana
3. Vans

Only the most holy people carry their backpack around with them all day. Sorry not sorry.
