    Do dogs go to heaven?

    Do dogs go to heaven?

    Theologian Dr. Joseph Gordon joins Kaitlyn to tackle one of our most frequently asked questions: Do dogs go to heaven? Dr. Gordon answers the question, but also gives us a much bigger theology of creation, redemption, and creaturely life on earth. Plus, we also tackle even harder questions like: Do snakes go to heaven? What about mosquitos?

    How do we talk about God with kids?

    How do we talk about God with kids?

    Children’s ministry expert Dr. Scottie May joins Kaitlyn for an extra-special episode of Curiously, Kaitlyn! Instead of answering a kid question about God, Kaitlyn asks Dr. May all about how we talk to kids about God: How do we talk about hard things in the Bible with kids? How do we get kids to love learning about God, instead of memorizing facts about the Bible? What can we learn from kids about God? Plus: why Dr. May doesn’t like the term “Sunday school.”

    Why did God choose the Israelites out of everyone else?

    Why did God choose the Israelites out of everyone else?

    Dr. Carmen Imes joins Kaitlyn to answer the question “Why did God choose the Israelites as his special people out of everyone else, and bless them in a certain way he didn’t bless others?” Dr. Imes takes us back to the Bible, pointing us to the reason God gives for choosing Israel and blessing them: so that they can be a blessing to all of creation. Dr. Imes teaches us a fancy new Hebrew word, gives us lots of biblical examples of what it means to bless the nations, and even touches on one of Kaitlyn’s favorite phrases, “a city on a hill.”

    Why do we fight God in our heart?

    Why do we fight God in our heart?

    Dr. Barry Jones joins Kaitlyn to answer a question that we have probably all wondered at some point: Why do we fight God in our hearts? Dr. Jones gives us a theology of sin – where it started, how we encounter it, and what God has done to defeat it. Then he offers some practical help for addressing the sin we find in ourselves: practices of prayer and surrender that acknowledge our dependence upon God to save us from the power of sin.

    Does God bring heaven to earth?

    Does God bring heaven to earth?

    Mike Erre joins Kaitlyn to answer the question “Does God bring heaven to earth?” They talk about what “heaven” is, what it means for God to bring it to earth, and Mike predicts exactly when God will do it (not really). Plus, Mike explains why the Bible sometimes calls the world “good” and other times tells us to hate it.

Breath of fresh air

I don’t normally write reviews on podcasts but just couldn’t help it as I am loving this podcast right now. I love the premise of listening to the questions that kids have. In my experience adults are often wondering the same things but they might be too afraid to admit they have questions or doubts. The discussion here is weighty and stretching yet gentle and honouring and creative. And the host Kaitlyn is a delight - so thoughtful and curious, really listening and giving her guests space to share their thoughts but also asking great questions and adding her own timely insights. I’ve just recommended this to a friend who is struggling in his faith and I will happily keep recommending it!

Authentic theology at its best!

Curiously Kaitlyn is one of them most encouraging podcasts I’ve ever listened to. She perfectly lives out her theology of multigenerational faith informed by both children and experts. I love listening and feel encouraged in my own role in my small Australian church because someone like Kaitlyn is trailblazing a path that I can follow! Thank you Kaitlyn, you’re my hero!!
