In this powerful and insightful episode, Aaron sits down with Pastor Thomas West to explore The Gospel Way Catechism: 50 Truths That Take On the World — a brand-new book co-authored with Trevin Wax, set to release July 22, 2025.

📘 The book brings an ancient practice — the catechism — into today’s cultural moment to help Christians recognize and resist false secular narratives and reclaim a joy-filled identity in Christ. Pastor West shares how catechesis offers a proactive spiritual formation that equips believers to live out their faith with clarity, boldness, and joy in a culture that often leads us astray.

🔥 Topics We Cover:

• What exactly is a catechism, and why does it still matter?

• The difference between catechesis and apologetics

• How secular culture catechizes us unknowingly

• The story behind planting a church in London and seeing revival take root

• The creative process behind writing The Gospel Way Catechism — in C.S. Lewis’s home!

• How formation before defense sets us up for deep-rooted joy in Jesus

📖 The Gospel Way Catechism offers 50 truth-filled Q&As to help believers anchor their faith, fight cultural confusion, and form deep gospel instincts. From questions on work, sexuality, and freedom to identity, salvation, and the Kingdom of God — this resource is for new believers, seasoned Christians, and small groups alike.
