Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart?
Old Testament scholar (and Holy Post pundit!) Carmen Imes joins Kaitlyn to talk about a question both little kids and grown ups ask a lot: why did God harden Pharaoh’s heart? Was God causing Pharaoh to do something evil? Was God overriding Pharaoh’s free will? Dr. Imes teaches us about the Hebrew words for “hardening” a heart, how historical background can help us understand this passage, and what the larger theology of the story teaches us about God. 0:00 - Show Starts 1:35 - Theme Song 2:32 - Why Did God Harden Pharaoh’s Heart? 8:17 - What is a “Hard Heart?” 17:50 - Sponsor - Blueland - For 15% off first order of Blueland cleaning products, go to this link: https://www.blueland.com/CURIOUSLY 19:05 - Sponsor - Zocdoc - Stop putting off those doctor’s appointments!

Is it wrong to doubt God?

Do you have questions about theology, the Bible, or the church that you’re too afraid to ask? Tired of pastors and scholars using unfamiliar language or overly complicated explanations? Curiously, Kaitlyn is a weekly podcast hosted by author and theologian Kaitlyn Schiess that tries to make theology accessible, meaningful, and fun. Each week, you’ll hear a kid ask a theology question–sometimes serious, sometimes silly–and Kaitlyn will interview a scholar to help answer it (without all the academic jargon). Together, Kaitlyn and her guest discover that this one simple question opens up big theological ideas that can impact our lives, shape our view of God, and understand Scripture in a new way. Whether you're reminiscing about your own childhood curiosities or simply seeking a refreshing take on faith, tune in and rediscover the joy of learning with "Curiously Kaitlyn.”
