Well, hello and welcome to Job with Julie. I'm Julie Slattery, and today we're going to be talking about culture, technology, and raising children.

Primarily teenagers, but if you've got younger kids in the house, don't tune us out because you're part of this conversation, too.

I'm about to sit down with David Eaton and Allison Roar on two people who are involved with a ministry called

Axis, and they have some really practical advice for us.

My prayer is that when we finish the conversation, you're going to see things like

video games, smartphones, Instagram, not as something to be afraid of, but as an exciting

challenge to engage in a great conversation

with your kids.

So let's dive in.

And David, you are one of the founders of Axis, which a lot of our listeners might be

like, what is Axis?

So let's start right there.

What is Axis?

Hey, we help parents and their teenagers communicate and understand each other.

Yeah, which sounds like a very needed thing.

But I, I've been called, we've been called miracle workers before.

That's better.

That might be a little bit more elite, but we think of it as culture translation.

Yeah.

So we're looking at the intersection of faith, technology, media.

If C.S. Lewis and MTV, if they made a baby, they would name their baby axes.

Wow.
