If Jesus tells us to love our enemies, does that extend all the way to Satan? This week, Kaitlyn and Mike take a surprisingly thoughtful kids' question and use it to explore what Christians mean when we talk about the devil, and what Scripture is actually asking of us when it commands enemy-love. They also revisit the much-maligned phrase "love the sinner, hate the sin," and ask whether it still has value, and consider why the hardest "enemies" to love usually aren't cosmic villains, but the people who cut us off in traffic, frustrate us in the checkout line, or vote differently than we do. 0:00 - Theme Song 2:23 - Does God Love Satan? 6:00 - Who/what is Satan 10:14 - Satan and Evil 14:00 - Sponsor - SelectQuote - Go to https://www.selectquote.com/kaitlyn to get started on your new life insurance policy 15:02 - Sponsor - World Relief - Let's Talk About It!

Have We Ghosted the Holy Spirit?
Why don't Christians talk about the Holy Spirit more often? Have we quietly replaced dependence on God's Spirit with confidence in our own smarts and systems? What starts as a kid's Halloween question about the "Holy Ghost" quickly turns into a bigger conversation about why the church is so divided, whether we'd even notice if the Spirit disappeared from our theology, and how we might learn to let God surprise us again. After all, the Holy Ghost isn't here to haunt us, but to make us alive. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:19 - Sponsor - Dwell - Listen to scripture throughout your day.

Does God speak through dreams?
Do you have weird dreams? Could they be from God? In the Bible, God sometimes talks to people through dreams. Why did he do that? Does he still do that today? Kaitlyn and Mike talk about prophetic dreams and what they tell us about our relationship to God and to our own minds. 12:10 - Sponsor - Check out the Gracebased Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts or learn more at https://gracebased.com/podcasts/ 13:10 - Sponsor - Get the right life insurance for YOU, for LESS, and save more than fifty percent at www.selectquote.com/kaitlyn

Does God still perform miracles?
It's a miracle! Kaitlyn's here to talk about miracles. They seem to be all over the Bible, so Christians obviously believe they happened—but do miracles still happen?

Will there be competition in heaven?
Will we have ferocious sports rivalries in heaven? Will we have tantrums over lost card games? Will we play? This week, Kaitlyn and Producer Mike answer the question - Will we have competition in heaven? Along the way, they discuss questions about how we categorize effects of the fall v. natural human limitations, what we can and cannot know about life in eternity, and how our work in this world can become our source of identity and value. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:10 - Not Sinful, but Limited 4:37 - Will We Have Perfect Bodies in Heaven? 6:50 - Different Talents 12:33 - It's Good to Play! 17:40 - The Bad Side of Competition 20:58 - Do We Need Competition? 25:13 - Quick Kid Answers 27:19 - End Credits
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."
