David Eaton, President and co-founder of Axis Ministry, will help you:
• Decipher what is happening in culture and technology
• Understand how it is affecting your kids

We live in a culture that grows more complicated and confusing by the day. We are called by Jesus to love our neighbor. While that sounds simple enough, how do we practically fulfill this command, especially if those around us see the world from vastly different points of view? How are we to be salt and light in this divisive time?

Questions for reflection:

3. Are there any conversations from the past that I need to repair or revisit with a different posture?
