Pop culture is constantly changing making it hard for parents and guardians to keep up with what their children are exposed to in the world. Axis is an organization that seeks to build your teen’s lifelong faith in Jesus by tackling tough conversations together, one conversation at a time. While offering memberships to access more resources is an option, one free resource Axis provides is a weekly newsletter called The Culture Translator.
Each week, the Axis team researches pop culture to help you stay up to date on the music, movies, TV shows, and social media trends impacting your child’s world. These insights are then sent to your inbox alongside a handful of conversation starters. Axis also provides two podcast formats that share the same information in an audio version. This can be found on Apple and Google Podcasts as well as Spotify. While The Culture Translator podcast includes the ‘overview’ of these trending topics, which is exactly what would come to your email The Culture Translator Roundtable provides a longer podcast episode that dives deeper into the topics of the week from a biblical perspective. In the Roundtable, the Axis team shares why these topics are important as well as how to approach conversations with your child. Some families even listen to the podcast in the car and talk about it right then and there.
