The Proactive Catechist: Simple, Brain-Smart Ways to Share Jesus With Others
Congratulations, you are a catechist! Now what?
Sharing Jesus with a new generation of students is exciting and important work, but it might also feel a tad overwhelming. Especially if you are new to teaching or new to sharing your faith with others.
How will you know what to teach? How to teach? What will you do when kids act up? This book was written to help you smash those fears and set you and your students up for success this year.
This book is about confidence, pure and simple. We wrote it for every burned out faith formation director and exhausted catechist that has pulled us aside after an event on the edge of tears, afraid to give voice to their situation. (No, you are not the only one!) Directors are exhausted from catechist turnover. Catechists don’t know if they can come back one more year due to behavior problems. Both are frustrated with disengaged parents and students. They do the same things year after year and don’t feel the needle moving.
We are unapologetically staunch in the belief that quality education and authentic faith belong in the same sentence. We know the creator designed every single cell in our bodies and created them to work in specific ways. We know he calls us to discipleship. Why would working with the design of the brain do anything but help us be better disciples? As catechesis and faith formation “experts” we believe wholeheartedly that this is about helping students know and love Jesus better so they can live in friendship with him and serve him for the rest of their lives.
