Curiously Kaitlyn

Dinosaurs, Adam and Eve, evolution, and the Bible can raise some big questions, especially for kids. Kaitlyn and Producer Mike talk about how Christians have tried to make sense of science and Scripture, and why helping kids ask good questions may be more important than having the perfect answer.

Producer Mike's son Oliver has a lot of questions about the Bible, so Kaitlyn sits down with him to talk through as many as they can. Why did God rest on the seventh day? How did an angel shut the lions' mouths? Why did God make us, and how has God always existed? Listen along to hear what it actually looks like to talk about the Bible with kids.

Why did the Pharisees clash so often with Jesus if they were genuinely trying to be faithful to God? Kaitlyn explains who the Pharisees actually were, why they saw Jesus as a threat, and why the familiar picture of them as self-righteous villains misses important context. She also explores what Jesus' harshest critiques were really about, why Christians should be careful about calling people "Pharisees" today, and what these conflicts teach us about faithfulness, power, and trying to do Jesus' job for him.

Why did Jesus go to heaven? And if he went "up," does that mean he's living somewhere in outer space? Kaitlyn and Mike unpack the surprisingly strange story of Jesus' ascension and why the Bible gives us so few details about where Jesus actually went. Kaitlyn explains why the ascension isn't primarily about Jesus leaving the earth, but about Jesus taking his place as King, ruling and reigning at the right hand of the Father.
