Customer Reviews
Love this resource!
The podcast version of the culture translator is a great way to engage this info, stay on top of big ideas, and hear consistent Gospel-focused insights about the lives of our young people and this digital world.
We love the Culture Translator
Having the option to listen to the culture translator, in addition to, or instead of reading the email, is nice to have!
Parents Need to Know!
I am overwhelmed with things to do and this podcast helps me feel better about my parenting because I can listen as I go! It has accurate, current topics our kids are faced with and it uses a biblical lens to view our culture and kids, so that we can be all that we were intended to be as parents-in-the-know that want to guard against the dangers this world pushes on us every day. I love it! Thank you Axis!
