Some denominations have relied on catechisms heavily throughout their history, but what exactly are they? Are they something modern churches should be using, or something that is better to leave in the past?

In today’s episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question around the nature of catechisms. We look through some of the history of catechisms, specifically some of the Baptist ones, and look at when things shifted away from them and whether that was a good or bad thing. We then wrap up by talking about what modern catechisms ought to look like to be most helpful for believers today!
