April 11, 2017This month CCCA presents David Eaton. Lost In Translation: Three Keys to Building Lifelong Faith in the Snapchat GenerationJoin Axis for a presentation that examines the three biggest influences on teens, four practices that will develop them spiritually, and three keys that will build their faith into a lifelong faith. Axis has spent the past 10 years serving pre-teens, teens and their parents at churches and schools all across the United States and Canada. They’ve witnessed the increase in apathy, decline in engagement, addiction to smart phones and a decrease in faith in God. From a decade of observation and side-by-side partnership with innovative families, churches and schools, they’ve seen best practices that will improve discipleship for pre-teens and teens. |
