Youth culture can feel like a foreign language, especially with how rapidly it changes. How can youth workers understand the culture of our students… and why is that important anyways?

  • Why is it important for youth workers to understand youth culture?
  • How would you describe the default approach most adults take toward interpreting and translating youth culture?
  • Could you walk us through a biblical view of Christ and Culture?
  • What is the intersection between theological depth and cultural analysis?
  • Can you give us an example of something going on in youth culture today and model how we could engage students in a meaningful conversation about their worldview?
  • Are there any common pitfalls regarding youth culture that you’ve seen youth workers fall into that we should guard against?

Evan Barber is the Senior Editor for Axis, a ministry that equips parents for gospel-centered conversations with their teen about faith and culture. He also cohosts their Culture Translator Podcast.
