I don\u2019t know the shooter\u2019s parents. Neither do you. But we do know the killer\u2019s mind was not ultimately captured by the life-giving truths of the Gospel.

In short, a catechism is a summary of beliefs in a fixed question-and-answer format for instruction and meditation. Catechism isn\u2019t just for Catholics \u2014 it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/article\/should-know-catechisms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crucial for Protestants<\/a>.

Another good option for Baptist parents of young kids is the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vor.org\/rbdisk\/html\/proveit\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prove It<\/a>\u201d catechism.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/newcitycatechism.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New City Catechism<\/a>\u201d by Sam Shammas and Timothy Keller is intended to help both kids and adults grasp the fundamental doctrines of Christianity through a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegospelcoalition.org\/new-city-catechism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">52 questions and answers<\/a>. Keller provides a <a href=\"http:\/\/newcitycatechism.com\/introduction-timothy-keller\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">helpful introduction<\/a> that not only explains why catechisms are important but gives memorization tips and tricks. <\/p>\n<p>A pastor friend also recommends the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/students.wts.edu\/resources\/creeds\/heidelberg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heidelberg Catechism<\/a>\u201d as \u201camazingly warm,\u201d though it may be more difficult for small children.

It\u2019s available for just $1 <a href=\"https:\/\/store.opc.org\/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=childscatechism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Though not labeled a catechism, one of the most spiritually transformative books I have read is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianbook.com\/gospel-primer-christians-learning-glories-love\/milton-vincent\/9781885904676\/pd\/904670?en=google&#038;utm_source=google&#038;kw=21440761692&#038;mt=&#038;dv=c&#038;event=PPCSRC&#038;p=1186432&#038;gclid=CjwKCAjw5pShBhB_EiwAvmnNV3pdVJwdGBjPk7GYJlU6QZR3vI8ziP7q4-I6oYx4wiq9xYiIdG0R9hoCASoQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Gospel Primer For Christians<\/a>\u201d by Milton Vincent. It explains why Christians should preach the gospel to themselves each day and helps facilitate that practice. It\u2019s a wonderful book to keep by your bed for daily consumption \u2014 and you\u2019ll likely find yourself thinking about its profound truths throughout the day, re-reading it again and again, and sharing it with your friends.<\/p>\n<p>If these aren\u2019t suitable for your family\u2019s needs, ask your pastor what other resources your church provides. Simply memorizing scripture is always a great place to start for parents and children together. Consider beginning with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=psalm+1&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psalms 1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=psalm+22&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">22<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=psalm+23&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">23<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=psalm+91&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be discouraged if memorization comes slowly \u2014 especially as an adult! Memory hacks abound, so learn what works best for you. Repetition and reading out loud are key. Try making flash cards or taping individual Q&#038;A\u2019s next to the kitchen sink or on the bathroom mirror where you\u2019ll see them often. Ask your spouse, child, or friend to quiz you. Try tackling one simple question and answer at a time with your children as part of their bedtime routine until they can recite it confidently.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t think of it as homework! As the very first truth of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ligonier.org\/learn\/articles\/westminster-larger-catechism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Westminster Larger Catechism<\/a>\u201d declares, the main purpose of your life is to \u201cglorify God, and to enjoy Him forever.\u201d As you allow truth to saturate your mind and soul \u2014 at whatever pace \u2014 <em>enjoy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>When You Walk by the Way<\/h2>\n<p>Thankfully, not all catechizing is formal book reading and recitation \u2014 but casual catechesis is just as much of a responsibility. It\u2019s active teaching while going through the passive motions of life. After giving God\u2019s Ten Commandments to the children of Israel, Moses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Deuteronomy%206&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">instructed<\/a> that the parents must \u201cteach them diligently to your children.\u201d Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n[You] shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When you\u2019re lounging around the living room or darting off to soccer practice. When you\u2019re tucking them into bed or picking out their outfit the next day \u2014 teach your children diligently. Even the mundane parts of life are opportunities for what Federalist contributor Katy Faust describes as the \u201cGreat Equipping.\u201d I can\u2019t recommend her <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/12\/13\/4-ways-to-help-your-kids-fight-assimilation-into-cultural-leftism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">essay<\/a> on it enough.<\/p>\n<p>As my colleague Joy Pullmann <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/03\/30\/the-six-christians-martyred-in-nashville-are-a-call-to-repentance-to-all-who-will-hear-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> on Thursday, in this spiritual battle, \u201cWe war with words, many of which we pray.\u201d In addition to the words we offer up to the Father, we desperately need strategic words of truth down to our children and inward to our own souls. <\/p>\n<p>As spiritual attacks come from all sides, Saint Paul <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Ephesians%206&#038;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charges<\/a> Christians to \u201cput on the whole armor of God\u201d so that we can fight \u201cagainst the schemes of the devil.\u201d Your children desperately need this panoply of truth, righteousness, the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and scripture if they are to stand strong in the evil day. <\/p>\n<p>Start suiting them up.<\/p>\n<div  class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ece5335384f0640ff8f3599ca239c8f7 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-ece5335384f0640ff8f3599ca239c8f7\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">   Kylee Griswold is the editorial director of The Federalist.
