Curiously Kaitlyn

When we say Scripture is inspired by God, what do we mean? Did God simply dictate every word, or put the authors in some sort of trance? Did Paul know he was writing Scripture when he first penned his letter to the Romans? Kaitlyn helps us understand what Christians mean when they say the Bible is "God-breathed," and how the Holy Spirit worked through real people with real personalities, purposes, cultures, and quirks. She also explains why God's choice to work through messy human means is not a problem to solve, but a gift to receive.

Kaitlyn looks at why Proverbs personifies both wisdom and folly as women, how those images have often been misunderstood, and why Proverbs 31 should not be treated as an impossible checklist for Christian womanhood. She also talk about the Bible's honest account of sin's impact on men and women, the difference between wisdom and certainty, and why learning to live with unanswered questions can actually strengthen faith.

Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air? Kaitlyn and producer Mike explore where this practice comes from, what the Bible actually says about worship, and why different churches express worship in such different ways. They also unpack the tension between emotional worship and thoughtful faith, and ask an important question: What if God cares more about the condition of your heart than the placement of your hands?

We know we are supposed to get baptized, but does it matter where it happens? Kaitlyn and Mike unpack what baptism actually is, why Christians do it, and why it's about more than just a personal moment. Where you're baptized might be less about the building and more about the people standing with you...but the building still matters!

Many of us cannot imagine Heaven without bacon. Concerns about meat in Heaven may seem silly, but they're actually really relevant. Kaitlyn unpacks our understanding of our relationship to food, the Garden of Eden, and the Resurrection. And Mike wonders if, perhaps, Heaven will be full of hamburger trees.
