This week hosts Sarah Humphrey and Tricia Goyer talk with Thomas West, senior pastor of Nashville First Baptist Church on his new children's book The Gospel Way Catechism for Kids.

Help children build a strong biblical foundation and confidently navigate today's culture with this engaging, gospel-centered catechism designed specifically for ages 8–12.

Based on the trusted adult resource, The Gospel Way Catechism for Kids equips parents, grandparents, Bible teachers, homeschool families, and church leaders with a practical tool for teaching the essential truths of the Christian faith. Through 50 foundational questions and answers, children learn how God's Word provides lasting truth in a world filled with competing messages and confusing ideas.

Written in an age-appropriate format for middle-grade readers, this interactive discipleship resource helps kids develop biblical literacy, spiritual confidence, and a deeper understanding of God's redemptive plan.

Children will explore important questions such as:

How do we know God and understand His Word?
Why did God create the world?
Who is Jesus, and why did He come?
What is the gospel?
What is the mission of the church?
How should Christians live in today's world?
