Episode notes
Lead With The Love Story
- Lead every conversation with the core gospel: God loves you and gave himself for you.
- Keep that love-story context first so doctrines feel meaningful rather than a burdensome to-do list.

- The kerygma is 'first' in quality, not merely first in time, and must be repeated throughout catechesis.
- Re-announcing Jesus' love should be the principal proclamation across all teaching stages.

- Present the kerygma in five clear points: creation, fall, Christ's death and resurrection, metanoia (conversion), and the Church.
- Use that five-point headline to orient deeper catechesis and apologetics.
