Producer Mike joins Kaitlyn again to discuss a seemingly easy but surprisingly tricky question: did Jesus get sick? Mike and Kaitlyn talk about the meaning of the incarnation: What does it mean that Jesus was (and is!) really, truly human, but did not sin? If Jeus was without sin, does that mean he was without illness? Did Jesus get especially tempted when he got a cold? What does it mean for us if Jesus did allow himself to get sick? 0:00 - Theme Song 00:28 - Did Jesus Ever Get Sick? 6:47 - Does Sin Make Us Sick? 11:20 - Would Jesus choose to be sick? 14:40 - Sponsor - No Small Endeavor - Award-winning podcast where theologians, philosophers, and best-selling authors talk about faith with Lee C.

Why did God make everything but people made sidewalks?
Most of us don’t give sidewalks a second thought. They’re ordinary, unremarkable, and everywhere. But Kaitlyn Schiess explains why even something as plain as a sidewalk can reveal profound truths about God and humanity. Responding to this week's child’s question, If God made everything, why did people make sidewalks? Kaitlyn explores the Christian belief that God created the world out of nothing, how human creativity reflects the image of God, and why our best inventions are those that foster community. From Genesis to Revelation, she shows that sidewalks may be more than concrete paths under our feet; they may point us toward the city of God. 0:00 - Sponsor - God’s Colorful Kingdom Storybook Bible - Available now, a kid’s storybook Bible from Esau McCaulley: https://a.co/d/hVy8aUl 0:55 - Theme Song 2:07 - Did God Not Make Sidewalks? 7:12 - God Made Everything… Out of Nothing 17:30 - Sponsor - Glorify - Sign up for the #1 Christian Daily Devotional App to help you stay focused on God.

Why does God make sad things when he's sad about them?
Theologian and pastor Dr. Barry Jones joins Kaitlyn to tackle a tricky question that leads us to some of the most beautiful passages in Scripture. Why does God allow evil things to happen in the world when he is sad about them? Dr. Jones explains how sin grieves God, and how God's sadness at our suffering can be a comfort to us. He also shows us how we can trust God even as we await answers to some of our biggest questions about God. 0:00 - Show Starts 1:06 - Theme Song 1:56 - Why does God let sad things happen? 5:56 - God gets sad! 14:16 - Sponsor - Dwell - Listen to scripture throughout your day.

Why do we call each other brothers and sisters?
Theologian Dr. Christa McKirland joins Kaitlyn to answer a question on the podcast that she has already answered before bedtime from one of her own children: why do we call each other brothers and sisters? Dr. McKirland gives us a picture of the people of God as a family, shows us what Scripture says about our relationship to each other as siblings, and points us back to our true identity as children of our Father God. 0:00 - Sponsor - For the Good of the Public Summit - CCPL’s annual summit in Washington, DC to act on important public issues.

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.
