    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.

Thank you Kaitlin for the time and thoughtfulness you put into all your work. This podcast has encouraged me in, enlightened me and equipped me to engage in a better way with the littles at church. Appreciate all you do & your beautiful perspective.

Big fan of the show

It hits just right on all the levels and hits such a wide breadth of theology such specific and respectful ways

Good

Good podcast with interesting questions but it feels like it’s 30 min of ads and 5-10 of actual content. Really broke the flow of the conversation.
