    Why Did Jesus Intentionally Confuse People?

    31/03/2026 | 35 mins.
    Ever read something Jesus said and thought… wait, was that supposed to make sense? One young listener asks why Jesus seemed to intentionally confuse people in Mark 4, and it turns out she's stumbled onto one of the hardest passages in the Gospels. Kaitlyn and Mike dig into the parable of the sower, Jesus' surprising quote from Isaiah, and whether God actually wants some people not to understand. They also wrestle with a tension many of us feel: why doesn't God just make everything clearer? The answer has less to do with intelligence and more to do with relationship, trust, and timing.

    Why are Jesus and Scripture both called the Word of God?

    24/03/2026 | 24 mins.
    You may have heard people in church say, "Jesus is the Word of God," but they also say, "The Bible is the Word of God." The Bible itself refers to Jesus as the "Word of God." How are those things both true? Kaitlyn's explains how the term "Word of God" is used throughout the Bible, the debates around the Greek word for "word," and how we interpret scripture to define important terms.

    In Canine Heaven, Is Jesus a Dog?

    17/03/2026 | 34 mins.
    If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be? And what happens when the real Jesus challenges the version we've made in our own image.
