In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron Smith sits down with Trevin Wax and Thomas West to discuss their new book, The Gospel Way Catechism. Together, they explore the modern challenges facing the church and families as cultural narratives compete with biblical truth. The conversation highlights the importance of discipleship within the home, the role of parents in shaping their children’s faith, and how the Gospel Way Catechism serves as a practical resource for teaching and defending the faith. They also discuss the need for a renewed focus on community, truth, and church revitalization in a culture marked by individualism and confusion.

• Cultural narratives often conflict with God’s design for faith and family.
• Parents play a vital role in spiritual formation and discipleship.
• The Church must be intentional about countering secular ideologies with truth.

• Contending for the faith is essential in today’s cultural climate.
• Church revitalization begins with biblical teaching and faithful leadership.
• Living out the Gospel in community demonstrates God’s truth to the world.
