  • So much love

    This latest episode (Did Dinos Live with Adam and Eve) brought so many tears to my eyes. About 2/3rds through you guys talked about so many beautiful ways to take these challenging bible stories and just help kids make their own way to “God really cares about me.” Oh my goodness, this may be my favorite episode yet.

  • Where are the scholars?

    It’s a good show but it used to be much better when they had new guests and scholars on the show. Mike the producer is helpful but I think having experts in their specific fields answer questions that they are well studied in was more helpful. The conversations were better that way too. Don’t really listen as much anymore.

  • Fearing God is something I struggle with

    It’s easy to accept the idea that all we have is on this earth. I’ve always needed tangible things. As someone who struggles to have balance, a healthy fear of God is also a hard idea to wrap my head around. The episode of wisdom being a women which I confess I listened to because I thought women would have “more merit” than men was truly helpful as I search myself. Thank you to Kaitlyn & Mike for their light but rhetoric🤍

  • Please bring back guest theologians

    Please please bring back guest theologians. The diversity of perspectives and backgrounds added so much depth and really challenged me to think in different ways.

    Kaitlyn is incredibly gifted and thoughtful, and one of my favorite parts was hearing her draw out insights from guests through her questions. I really miss that dynamic.

    Even if it’s once a month, plzzz bring back guests 🙏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

One Last Curiously Kaitlyn
Q: Will God ever let me see a miracle?
Yes, miracles are possible and occur in surprising forms; the hosts emphasize recognizing everyday miracles and the wonder of existence itself as a miracle in a fallen world.
One Last Curiously Kaitlyn
Q: What language will everyone speak when they get to heaven, and what language would God speak in?
God speaks Aramaic in biblical tradition; in heaven there may be linguistic diversity with miraculous understanding rather than a universal tongue, reflecting Pentecost's pattern of diverse languages understood by all.
One Last Curiously Kaitlyn
Q: How did Noah survive with lots of dangerous animals on the Ark?
The discussion emphasizes that the story's point isn't zoological feasibility but God's care for humans and all creation, with practical details left to imagination; the ark looms as a symbol of divine provision rather than a literal zoological manual.
One Last Curiously Kaitlyn
Q: What kind of snake was Satan?
The term used in Genesis is serpent, not a specific snake species; the biblical tradition often identifies Satan as the tempter but stresses that the language is a theological device rather than a precise zoological label.
Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons, Will There be Birthdays in Heaven, and More!
Q: Who did Cain marry? Was it his sister?
The Bible doesn't specify, suggesting there were other people created by God whom we don't hear about; the duo concludes Cain's wife was not his sister in line with biblical warnings about versus possible historical context.
