Foundations: 100 Days of Devotions through Catechism
Ebook
Every day we are formed by what we see on social media. Every day we are formed by the new Netflix special. Every day we are formed by the hot-button topics of the culture that appear on our news feeds. In fact, every single day we are formed as we interact with the world around us. We learn from it, are taught by it, and live from it. So what is the faithful Christian to do when they can't help but be shaped by the world around them? What is the believer in Jesus to do when the world opposes so much of his teachings? This book seeks to answer those questions by turning to the lost art of catechesis. This book seeks to turn the tables on formation by the world by providing formation through the word. This devotional work utilizes an updated form of The Westminster Catechism, Scripture passages, brief reflections, and prayers to help form believers into more robust disciples. Who knows, maybe this process will provide a way for us to no longer be formed by the world but rather, to begin forming the world to reflect its great redeemer, Jesus Christ.
“If our ‘need today is neither for a therapeutic church nor for
a political church but for a confessing church, one that will
boldly confess the claims of Christ in the face of the heresies and
heterodoxies of our age’ (Donald Bloesch), then we also need a new
Reformation in which we recommit to catechesis in pursuit of deep
and broad biblical and theological literacy. Matt Crocker offers us
in this book a highly readable resource for ordinary Christian folk
in pursuit of this goal.”

“Matt Crocker has written a book about something I worry about
almost every day—how this generation is being formed in an age
where their immersion in social media is deep and the distractions
that lead to disintegration are unprecedented. I can’t imagine
something better for formation than a series of daily devotionals
that expound on the great confessions of the Christian faith and
invite us into an encounter with Scripture and with the living God
in prayer. When people take and use this book faithfully, they will
have been exposed to the whole counsel of God in a way that will
form not only their Christian minds, but their hearts and lives
also. Matt has written this in an engaging, accessible, and
culturally conscious yet countercultural way, and I heartily
endorse it.”
