About this episode

Paul Akin discusses the importance of catechesis with Trevin Wax and Thomas West, focusing on their book, The Gospel Way Catechism.

In this episode of Amazon to the Himalayas , host Paul Akin welcomes Trevin Wax and Thomas West to discuss their new book, The Gospel Way Catechism , a discipleship resource designed to help believers know what they believe and why. They explain the historic role of catechesis in forming Christians and argue that in an age shaped by secular individualism and cultural confusion, the church must embrace intentional “counter-catechesis.” Rooted in historic orthodoxy yet written for today, the book’s 50 questions and answers address issues like identity, sexuality, freedom, and consumerism, offering a practical tool for personal devotion, families, small groups, and whole-church discipleship, with a kids version in development.
