Catechism in the Early Church: Becoming a Citizen of God's Kingdom

Imagine you had a friend who was, I dunno, an alien. 

They have no grasp of life on earth, no understanding of human customs, minimal grasp of the language, culture, music, anything like that. 

And so for years, they undergo a process of both learning and un-learning. Gradually detaching from their weird Martian ways (no disrespect to our Martian listeners), and becoming finely tuned in the rhythms of a human being. 

That's a little bit what catechism (the process of teaching children and new converts) was like in the early church. Men and women who had been brought up in a secular, Roman culture needed to slowly learn the ways of following Christ. Crockpot style. It was a rich and transformative process.

Join the boys as we talk all about it. And Taylor talks about Disney, because of course he does. 

Also, shout out to Malta. Thanks Malta! You guys ROCK.
