Welcome to the Jeff Kaven show where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization putting it all together and living as activated disciples.

This is show 305, what's so special about the catechism?

And welcome. Here we are. We're still at the beginning of January. And I got to ask you a question.

Are you doing catechism in a year? Everybody is talking about this right now.

Just recently I had the opportunity to go to seek in St. Louis and Father Mike was there.

We did a panel discussion about the catechism with Father Josh Johnson, a bunch of others, and man that was good.

And everybody was coming up to us at that conference and saying, hey, I'm doing catechism in a year now. I did Bible in a year before.

And it was something that I appreciated.

You know, sometimes when you are on podcasting shows and you do a show, sometimes you don't hear from people as much as you would like to.

But when you go to an event like that with 17,000 hungry souls, you hear about it pretty quick.

So I want to talk to you today about what is so special about the catechism and kind of get into some of the main points as to why I think this can be a game changer in your life.

And if you have children, this is definitely a game changer in coming to understand the faith.

So I want to go down a little deeper with that.

And I want to give you some analogies about the catechism that just might just might put you over the edge as far as wanting to really get into it because it is a tremendously valuable book.

It's amazing how many people don't even know we have a catechism and you can be an evangelist in that way too and sharing the good news with people and the great resources that we do have.

Hey, if you do want show notes on any of the shows on the Jeff Kaven show, all you have to do is text my name, one word, Jeff Kavens, and you can text that to three, three, seven, seven, seven.

That's three, three, seven, seven.

And we'll get you on the list and we'll give that to you, give those notes to you every single week.

You don't have to do anything after that. Just join me.

I'm very aware that that you are in the car.

I'm very aware you're jogging and you're doing the laundry and you're you're in the clean in the garage or whatever, you know, and we want to accompany you with some really good, good notes.

And I try to put together good notes.
