Navigating teen culture as a Christian parent can feel like a second education — one shaped by friendships, media, identity, and purpose. Axis exists to help parents, grandparents, and ministry leaders have gospel-centered conversations with the teens in their lives.^1
Founded in 2007 by David Eaton and Jeremiah Callihan, Axis is a 501(c)(3) donor-funded ministry whose vision is to see parents equipped with conversation, discipleship, and culture-translation skills to reach the rising generation for Jesus.^2^4 David Eaton serves as CEO, leading a team of gospel-minded researchers, speakers, and content creators.^5
The toolkit includes the free weekly Culture Translator email, which breaks down music, movies, TV, slang, and social trends; downloadable Parent Guides on technology, mental health, faith, and relationships; the Axis Podcast Network; short culture videos; and teen-friendly Conversation Kits on subjects such as dating, divorce, and miracles.^6^8 Their One Conversation model treats discipleship as an ongoing, trust-filled dialogue rather than a single heavy talk.^6
Because Axis is donor-funded, families can use the resources free — another parent paying it forward through gifts and The Table, a community of monthly givers.^4
