Building the Foundation of Faith in Your Family with Catechisms

If you've never been part of a church that uses catechisms regularly in their worship liturgy, you might not be familiar with this historical tradition and biblical teaching tool. You may even have a foggy view of catechisms as a dry and monotone concept. This podcast will help bring the notion of catechisms to life for your family, and help you see how you can use this valuable tool - which has been around for centuries (millenia, even) in the church - to pass down your faith to your children.

Veritas teachers employ catechisms in lower Grammar school, during devotions, handwriting and grammar practice, and more. They have seen how it helps to implant the foundational truths of God's word deep in kids' hearts and minds (and parents of Veritas students can probably attest to this fact, too!).

In this episode, Veritas Head of School Ty Fischer talks with two local pastors - Rev. Christopher Seifferlein of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church and Rev. Kasey Horvath of All Saints Church - about catechisms, including:

• What the purpose of catechisms has historically been in the church
• How catechisms help parents, pastors, and all believers grow and stay firm in faith
• How they have used catechisms to help pass on the faith to their children
• And more!

We hope you enjoy this insightful and encouraging episode and take away some ideas and inspiration for ensuring that these foundational truths are "written on the hearts" of your family, too.
