Excellent This teaching is excellent. I would strongly encourage you to at least listen to Part 1 (this one) & Part 2 (What is God? - this is great for this current time of uncertainty with Corona virus).
I've recently "discovered" catechisms & am amazed at how well they teach foundational Bible truths in a nutshell. Holly Dutton has produced a singing version (KJV) of the Westminster Shorter Catechism and I play this whilst driving. It has increased my understanding and has strengthened my faith.
If I had been taught a catechism when I was young I might have been better able to discern incorrect teaching when I was in a charismatic/mild word of faith/prosperity church for 10 years in the 1990s.
Catechisms are still man made (eg beliefs regarding baptism, election) but on the whole I have found that the majority of the Westminster Shorter Catechism to be doctinally sound. However the Baptist Catechism is more in line with what I believe. I especially like the additional one which Ps Jerry mentioned that is in the Baptist Catechism "What is the Word of God?" and him drawing attention to it being "the only".
As Ps Jerry stated, the first 22(?) statements can be very encouraging if you are feeling spiritually low. I'm finding myself singing them every now and then.
