Crying can feel like a sign of weakness, which makes it hard to imagine an all-powerful God shedding tears. Kaitlyn explores what Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb reveals about a God who chooses to be moved by our suffering and how Christian hope does not minimize grief, but instead promises death, pain, and tears will not have the final word.

Who should be baptized, and why does it matter? Skye and Kaitlyn unpack the debate between infant baptism and believer's baptism, looking at the biblical arguments, church history, and the different ways Christian traditions understand what baptism actually means. They also explore how our views of baptism connect to bigger questions about salvation, communion, and what it means to belong to the church.

For one last episode, Kaitlyn and Mike tackle a final batch of kids' questions about heaven, miracles, Noah's Ark, Satan's snake, and how Adam and Eve didn't know they were naked. Kaitlyn also reflects on what she hopes listeners take with them from the show and why the church needs the curiosity of kids.
It's rapid-fire question time! Kaitlyn and Producer Mike work through some of the funniest, strangest, and surprisingly deep questions kids have sent in, covering everything from Genesis and heaven to free will, other religions, and the afterlife. Make sure to come back next week for our last episode!
Women are all over the Bible, but many of their stories rarely make it into sermons, Sunday school lessons, or children's Bibles. Kaitlyn sits down with Carmen Joy Imes and Nijay Gupta, authors of Fierce and Faithful, to talk about the women we overlook, the hard questions kids ask about Scripture, and why boys and girls alike need to hear these stories.
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.
