Session 2
Kathy Koch
Celebrate Kids
Why Teens Love Technology
Becoming a family that manages technology well is something that both parents and their teens have to commit to do; parents cannot expect teenagers to do it on their own. Navigating this new world of social media and screens is difficult, but not hopeless. Technology can be used to bring us closer together, but how do we do this? Kathy explains how and why parents have the opportunity to model what it means to be relational first and tech savvy second in a world that would reverse the order.

Chris McKenna
Protect Young Eyes
Teaching Digital Citizenship
What does it mean to be a digital citizen in a culture that seems to have a new social platform show up every other week? The thought of taking ownership over technology can be a very daunting task for us, but Chris shows us that this is the most important thing we can do for our children. Whether we're setting up boundaries and filters for our children or modeling what it means to honor God through our technology, Chris shows us that becoming a digital citizen is doable and desperately needs to be done.

After a 12-year career in business advising and 6 years in full-time student ministry, Chris started managing educational content for Covenant Eyes and became the founder and CEO of Protect Young Eyes. In a world where technology is native to our kids, Chris and the PYE team update parents on the latest digital trends through live presentations, their blog, and digital citizenship curriculum to help families, schools, and churches use the internet well.
Session 4
Sally Burke
Moms in Prayer International
Role of Prayer in Technology
It is easy to talk about the power of prayer in Christian circles, but it is much harder to actually engage in prayer consistently. Sally Burke’s journey of bringing mothers together in prayer all over the world has redefined what it means to pray fervently and consistently. Sally’s resources and practical suggestions can bring hope into parents' lives when they feel like they're losing their child to the world. Through community, Scripture, and relentlessness, as Burke describes, any parent can become a true prayer warrior.

In her years of growing up in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Sally was fascinated with the space program, and eventually became a space shuttle engineer. It wasn’t until after her marriage and the birth of two children that she and her husband came to faith in Christ, and God began changing her priorities. Today in her role as president of Moms in Prayer International, Sally is carrying on the legacy that began over thirty years ago. Her vision remains unchanged, that more children, schools and moms might experience God’s life-changing answers to prayer.
Tim Cleary
The Aetherlight
Everything You Need to Know About Video Games
Because they evolve at such a rapid pace, video games have never been a typical common ground for parents and their kids. Let’s face it, there is a wide gap between the Atari and the Xbox One. Tim Cleary helps parents understand the appeal of today’s video games, helpful questions to ask when monitoring a child’s gaming habits, and many of the positives that can come from healthy gaming.

As one of the founding creators of The Aetherlight: Chronicles of the Resistance, a virtual world for 10-12 year olds that fosters biblical engagement, Tim Cleary has always been captivated by Narnia, Star Wars, and Marvel comics. His heroes are: Jesus, his wife, C.S. Lewis, Stan Lee, and George Lucas. And as the lead writer for The Aetherlight, Tim balances lives at the intersection of scripture and pop culture, fostering energy and interest between the two.
Mark Oestreicher
The Youth Cartel
The Need to Belong
Mark Oestreicher, a respected youth leader, speaks about current research on how teens develop and how that development differs from their parents’ generation. He gives important insight on today’s culture (not just about new technology, but how even the very length of adolescence has grown), and how parents often talk to and treat their teens based on this, combined with a parent’s own experience as a teenager in the past. Mark suggests in practical terms how to use the way teens learn as a way to help them learn who they are made to be and how to become a successful adult by growing, connecting, and belonging well with others in each season of their lives. 

A veteran youth worker and founding partner in The Youth Cartel, Mark provides resources, training, and coaching for church youth workers. Also, he is the author of dozens of books, including Youth Ministry 3.0, Hopecasting, and Leading Without Power: 9 Paths to Non-Coercive Ministry Leadership. Mark is a sought-after speaker, writer, and consultant.

FAQs
Who is Axis?
Our mission is to build lifelong faith, one conversation at a time, and to bridge the gap between parents and their teenagers. We believe one of the best ways to do this is through culture translation, that is, taking current trends (pop culture, social media, video games, music, movies, politics, etc.)  and intersecting them with deep, theological ideas that make sense and are relevant to the next generation.
