    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.

    Why Didn't God Stop Pharaoh's Magicians?

    10/03/2026 | 31 mins.
    Pharaoh's magicians seem to be doing magic in the Bible! If supernatural power comes from God, then how are these guys turning rods into snakes? Kaitlyn talks about how people have understood that passage in the Bible and what it reveals about our relationship to idols, magic, and God.

    Why Angels are Jealous of Humans

    03/03/2026 | 32 mins.
    Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation.

    Freewill, Predestination, or Both?

    24/02/2026 | 34 mins.
    Did God choose you or did you choose God? Kaitlyn tackles one of Christianity's most debated questions, predestination vs. free will, exploring what the Bible says about God's sovereignty, human choice, and how believers have wrestled with holding both together for centuries. She also addresses the deeper motivations behind this debate, including fear about salvation, questions about responsibility, and the temptation to settle for overly simple answers to complex mysteries.

    Where did the Chapters and Verses Come from in the Bible?

    17/02/2026 | 33 mins.
    Isn't it weird that the Bible has all these little verse and chapter markers? And the original writers of the books of the Bible didn't write them. So, where did they come from? Kaitlyn explains why we have verse and chapter markers and how it sometimes changes how we read the Bible.
