Interview with Danielle Hitchen, founder and writer at Catechesis Books
On today's bonus episode, Fr. Wesley sits down with Danielle Hitchen, the founder and writer at Catechesis Books. Catechesis Books is a publishing company committed to producing materials to nurture the blossoming soul. For hundreds of years, Christians have practiced catechesis - a tradition of educating believers in the basic tenets of their faith – through prayer and study of scripture, through a formal catechism, and through liturgy and worship. By these practices, the essential truths of the gospel take root in the hearts and minds of believers of all ages, allowing their souls to blossom into an ever more Christ-like image. Danielle is also working on a podcast about the Christian calendar called the Sacred Season Podcast.
