We’re counting down the days until we’re all together in Yountville! Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, it’s the perfect place to unwind, connect, and be inspired. We’ve planned a weekend that invites you to slow your pace, savor the moment, and enjoy meaningful time with people who truly make a difference.
Expect thoughtful conversations, shared laughter, and plenty of opportunities to rest and reflect. Between the vineyards, the incredible food, and Yountville’s welcoming charm, we hope you’ll find space to breathe deeply and leave feeling refreshed and renewed.
We can’t wait to share this time with you.
David and the Axis Team
Keynote Speaker - Dr. Curt Thompson brings a mountain's worth of knowledge with him into any room he enters regarding what exactly goes on in the brain any time we interact with another human being. He'll take that knowledge and translate it into meaningful, concrete wisdom on how we can allow the transformation of our own story become the soil from which our teenagers will grow into healthy, thriving adults. This time with Curt will be something you'll be talking about for years to come!
Worship Concert - It's Jon Foreman. He started in a garage full of surfboards, and now he is a part of a little band called Switchfoot. His solo acoustic sets have become the stuff of legend, and he's going to bring the heat on Saturday night!
Worship - Frankie crafts raw, introspective pop that captures the beauty and chaos of being human. She will bring a distinct energy to our worship experience this weekend!
Bible Scholar - Paul will be our resident Bible geek for the weekend, and he is so excited to share the beauty of what Jesus' words really mean for a modern audience!
Worship - Andy is a dynamic worship leader who's primary hope is that God touches your heart through his music as much as He has touched Andy's own.
Speaker - Paul is a Vice President at Young Life and is best known for his role in the expansion of Young Life’s global youth ministry in the world’s largest and most challenging market — New York City.
Speaker - Allyson is a leader with Life.Church who is passionate about leading our next generation to become fully devoted followers of Christ through partnerships with parents and volunteers. Her team provides vision, direction, training, and resources to all Life.Church campus teams for LifeKids and Switch.
Speaker - Irene is a Content Creator at Axis and the directorial wizard behind our first short film, The Drive! She is absolutely crazy about her five kids and husband, and empowers them everyday to be the people God made them to be.
Host - David is not only the co-founder and CEO of Axis, but he also is an excellent griller of meat, is endlessly fascinated with learning new things, and enjoys nothing more than a quiet night by the fireplace with Lindsey.
Speaker - Evan is Axis' Senior Content Editor, and knows just about anything you want to know about the connection between old, dusty, philosophers and modern day cultural icons!
Host - Rachel is Axis' Major Gift Officer, and she is one of the most fun people you'll ever talk to!
James Andrews, MD will be our Emcee. Just like he keeps his patients alive, he will keep our “train” running on time … with humor and insight! With decades as an internal medicine doctor and decades leading parenting small groups at his church I’m elated to have him and Susan join us.
Our vision is to see all parents equipped with the conversation, discipleship, and culture translation skills needed to reach the next generation for Christ.
