The news: Christianity Today highlights a growing movement to recover catechesis — structured, intentional discipleship — for children and families, spotlighting a new book by Charlotte and Andrew Ollerton called God's Story, Our Story: A Family Journey Through the Bible, published in 2026 by The Good Book Company. The resource is designed for parents and children to engage Scripture together.
Why it matters for church leaders: Across India, many churches are strong on Sunday worship but thin on weekday discipleship for children and youth. The global rediscovery of catechesis is a timely signal — families in your congregation are looking for structured ways to pass faith on at home, and your church can equip them to do it.
The takeaway: Consider launching a simple family discipleship resource or weekly parents' guide as a practical first step toward building catechesis culture in your church.
