Navigating teen culture as a Christian parent can feel overwhelming — between social media trends, mental health conversations, and questions about identity, it's hard to know where to start. Axis exists to bridge that gap, equipping parents, grandparents, and ministry leaders with gospel-centered resources to have meaningful conversations with the teens in their lives.^1
Founded in 2007 by David Eaton, Axis is a 501(c)(3) donor-funded ministry that has impacted over 2.4 million parents and 2.11 million young people through its growing library of resources.^2 Their toolkit includes over 60 downloadable Parent Guides covering topics from smartphones to sexuality, The Culture Translator (a free weekly email breaking down what's trending in teen culture through a biblical lens), video-based Conversation Kits, a parenting podcast, and immersive Experiences designed to spark real dialogue between parents and teens.^1
What sets Axis apart is their "One Conversation" model — the idea that discipleship isn't a single talk but an ongoing, lifelong dialogue built on trust and cultural awareness. Because Axis is donor-funded, all resources are free to families, with the motto: "Axis is free to you because another parent paid it forward."^3
Why Christians Love It"I have had meaningful conversations about God and truth because of Axis conversation starters. Axis resources keep me up to date on what is happening and how to approach conversations in response."^2
"Axis is incredible at integrating culture and the Gospel so that parents can love their kids well, creating a better tomorrow for the next generation's relationship with Christ."^2
"Axis is one of the few organizations in the world that equips parents to do this, and I've seen first-hand how they steward resources for maximum kingdom impact."^2
