This week Sarah and Mike talk with Evan Barber of Axis about navigating conversations with teens! Since 2007, Axis has helped hundreds of thousands of parents navigate conversations with their teens, creating resources to help bridge the gap between the generations. Evan leads a team of gospel-minded researchers, writers, speakers, and content creators, leveraging pop culture to help parents show teens how faith is relevant to every aspect of their lives. For three years he traveled with Axis Live teams, talking with Gen Z directly about worldview and pop culture, before becoming a curriculum writer and producer for content on mental health, relationships, social media, and spiritual formation. He is now the Chief Editor and head of the content department. Evan studied English and Philosophy at the University of Arkansas.  Conversations with teens about core teen culture topics can feel difficult, foreign, or even just plain too big, especially when trying to talk about social media issues in light of the gospel. The Parent Guides to Social Media, the first in the resource series by Axis, breaks down and translates teen culture in ways that parents can understand and gives the vocabulary to help parents navigate social media conversations with biblical wisdom and cultural savvy. FOMO. Influencers. Instagram. TikTok. YouTube. These Axis guide booklets are for parents wondering how to connect with their teens as they help them navigate social media responsibly and equip their teens to interact with both Christians and non- Christians in a way that is reflective of the gospel. The five guides around social media topics release November 22 of this year and will be available wherever books are sold.

David Eaton is the President of Axis which he co-founded in 2007. Every year Axis speaks to 10,000+ students face-to-fce and every month Axis digital products equip 120,000+ parents, grandparents, pastors, and teachers. In 2018 Axis helped caring adults start 1,700,000 conversations, that they would not have started without Axis, with their 8-18- year- olds.Learn more about Culture Translator, Parent Guides, and all that Axis offers here.Learn more about David's book, Smart Phone Sanity, here or Engaging your Teen's World, here.Check out the Fierce & Lovely Mini-Courses HERE.Learn more about the ReStory™ Universe HERE.

The Couch Time Podcast Smartphones, Technology, & Your Students 12.23.19   There may be a smart device under your Christmas tree. You may have been asked for a smart device. Maybe everyone in your family has a smart device. No matter where your family is, there are several things we would recommend you to think about with your family and technology. Just like with anything, there are good and bad uses for technology. There are horror stories all over the internet about students making bad decisions or people preying on students. This can make you want to run & hide, OR, we can figure out how to engage and help our students navigate the digital world. This is a BIG CONVERSATION that will take more than one podcast to go over, but here are 3 Key Things to start with:   1. Learn about technology. Because technology can be used in a destructive way, it's really important that you understand what is out there and how devices work. Learn about the pros & cons of social media, what is the legal age to have certain kinds of social media, Android vs iOS devices, and the different monitoring/filtering apps that are out there (Covenant Eyes and Accountable2You are really good ones). Read about and how to approach technology.

Make a plan for your family. Do Google search for "Family Cell Phone Rules" Make guidelines for how your family will and will not use technology. Train your kids how to use their phone. Technology can be really destructive unless it's used well. Use filtering/monitoring software on all devices. (Check out Covenant Eyes or Accountable2You) Have ONGOING conversations and draw your kids out. Help them feel understood. This is one of the BEST ways to train them.   3. Remember. Jesus is King, and He will give you want you need.   Merry Christmas!     Web - https://graceky.org/students  

In this episode we are going to be talking with a couple who chose sanity over their salary. Paul and Emily Hughes from Parent Guides to GCSE.  Paul and Emily met in 2003 as trainee teachers assigned to the same school and have been happily married for 11 years. Now that they've both escaped teaching, they run Parents Guide to GCSE, supporting parents whose children are in year 11. They offer free tips via email, or to get the most from their expertise you can sign up for one of three membership plans. They made £11,000 pounds in their launch week so they must be doing something right. Emily has a Master's from Cambridge in Maths with Education, while Paul has a Master's in Information Management and Computing from the University of Sheffield and they both taught successfully for 15 years before taking the leap.  Emily also runs a pop choir in her spare time, as she says she needs to be able to boss people around having left teaching. Making the break….. Paul and Emily are fairly new to business, it was a relatively slow process for them they say, Emily started the process by going part time, and started various different streams of revenue, in theory at least, in order to try and be able to get out of the teaching job, that was at the time making her thoroughly miserable. Paul took slightly longer to take the leap, but he has and the last 3 weeks for him in his words “the best 3 weeks ever”. They have realised that whatever they have been doing is working. The bills are paid, the children are fed, and they are still living their lives except how they want too now. They have the freedom to do what they want, when they want, how they want and if they want!

1. Teens Fight Back What it is: Meme accounts on Instagram, many of which are run by teens, are spamming certain hashtags to thwart child p*rnographers’ efforts to reach more people. Why it's innovative: The hashtags in question are seemingly innocuous ( #dropboxlinks, #tradedropbox), but the teenagers discovered that p*rnographers would covertly advertise “young boys” or “young girl links” in their posts, then DM links with illicit images to anyone who commented on the posts or used the hashtags. When reported, Instagram initially responded by saying that their Terms of Use had not been violated, so the memers banded together to overwhelm the hashtags with memes, thus making the p*rnographers’ posts harder to find. We love their ingenuity and willingness to take action, but it’s clear that we need to talk with our kids about this sad reality and what to do if they come across it. (Instagram has since deactivated some hashtags, but that just means new ones will be used.)   2. Danger on Discord What it is: Free messenger apps are increasingly being used by terrorist groups like ISIS to disseminate info and recruit new members. Why it's concerning: In the past, terrorist orgs have tried to set up websites and use platforms like Tumblr, but they kept being hacked or shut down, so they’ve begun turning to smaller, less well known, and less regulated apps like Telegram, RocketChat, Viber, and gamer-specific Discord. Of course, the chances are slim that your kids will ever be contacted by ISIS or another terrorist cell, but they’re not the only predators on these apps, and all of them capitalize on users’ lack of awareness, young ages, and hesitancy to tell others about something questionable. Have you created an environment where your kids feel safe enough to talk with you if something strange or threatening comes through one of their apps? Our Parent’s Guide to Discord can help. 3. Live Listen What it is: ICYMI, Apple has a feature called “Live Listen” that allows you to use your iPhone or iPad like a microphone and your AirPods as the receiver. Why it can be creepy: It only works with iOS 12 and AirPods (other headphones don’t work) and was designed to turn AirPods into hearing aids by magnifying sound. But as this Instagram post (may have to log in) shows , it can be used to spy on someone in another room without them knowing. All they have to do is leave their phone in the room with Live Listen activated and walk away. Two things: 1. Please don’t use this against your kids. As tempting as it might be, good relationships are built on trust, not secrecy and control. And 2. If your kids have the ability to use the feature, have a conversation with them about why you won’t use the feature on them and how you hope they’ll show others the same courtesy. Did you know we also create in-depth Parent Guides on a weekly basis to aid you as you disciple teenagers? We’ll be featuring one each week in the new section below in order to better serve you! Let us know what you think. Parent Guide Spotlight: As Billboard’s Artist of the Year for 2018 and Spotify’s most-streamed artist in 2018, Drake has massive influence, not just on culture, but also on music lovers. Our brand new Parent’s Guide to Drake will help you better understand him and his influence so you can disciple teenagers to be thoughtful and intentional about who and what they listen to.   The Humans Trafficked In Our Homes Today, January 11, is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day and the entire month of January is dedicated to raising awareness to end modern slavery. Today’s slavery is radically different from the Atlantic slave trade that brought millions of Africans to work the plantations of the antebellum South. Present-day slaves are mostly women, young girls, and even boys coerced into commercial sexual exploitation. Experts believe as many as 4.5 million people are currently trapped in sex slavery. The average annual profit from a woman forced into sexual slavery is $100,000, meaning this black market is a lucrative business. While this all sounds horrible, you may be wondering just how it touches your family. If pornography is being consumed in your home—which, sadly, is likely; of the most-visited websites in the US, numbers 6, 7, and 8 are all porn sites, beating out eBay, Instagram, and Twitter—then in very real ways that act is aiding and enabling the sex slave trade. Porn and sex trafficking go hand in hand: 49% of women rescued from the industry said pornography was made of them while they were in bondage. Here’s a disturbing, yet informative video on the inextricable link between porn and trafficking. So what can your family do? First, have honest conversations about the porn pandemic. There are no innocent users. The industry is filled with victims and perpetrators, and viewers become complicit, fueling supply and demand. Second, harness your child’s passion for social justice by raising awareness online or by starting a trafficking club at their high school. Third, get involved with local or national groups actively engaged in the fight to end modern slavery. Here’s a great list to choose from! Finally, check out our three-part Parent’s Guide to Pornography detailing how porn appeals to and impacts both boys and girls.
