How do we help our kids fall in love with their Catholic faith?
In this episode, Jeremy interviews Andrea Zachman—wife, mother of four, faith formation leader, and author of The Sacred That Surrounds Us—about creative, hands-on ways to help children encounter God through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
Andrea shares her journey from law enforcement to parish ministry, how this Montessori-based program helps kids pray with their hands and hearts, and the powerful spiritual insights she’s witnessed from children in the atrium.
Together, they explore how parents can nurture a living faith at home—by slowing down, asking good questions, and teaching kids to truly know and love God.
You will:
- Discover a proven, hands-on way to teach children the Catholic faith
- Learn how to help your kids fall in love with God—not just know about Him
- Hear inspiring stories of children encountering Jesus in profound ways
