Let's dive into the surprising story behind God revealing Himself as Yahweh. Why does the Bible sometimes say God, sometimes LORD, and why do we almost never see "Yahweh" printed in English translations? Kaitlyn and Mike explore how this ancient name points to God's character, His promise of presence, and why the "philosophical God" and the "personal God" are actually the same God. They also unpack how knowing God's name shapes the way we read Scripture, pray, and understand Jesus.

And with Advent coming soon, Kaitlyn and Mike invite you to send in your kids' Christmas and Advent questions at holypost.com/curiously. The weirder the better.

What do we do when God feels silent, distant, or forgetful? Kaitlyn and Producer Mike explore how the Bible talks about God "remembering," why Scripture also says He "forgets" our sins, and why it can sometimes feel like God has overlooked us. They walk through stories from Noah to Zachariah, reflect on waiting, disappointment, and hope, and offer a reminder that God's presence—not quick fixes—is the promise we can rely on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This week, Kaitlyn tackle a kid's big question: "I know there's one true God, but are there little gods beneath him?" From Psalm 82 to Job and Paul, the Bible's language about gods, angels, demons, and spiritual powers is stranger than most of us realize. Kaitlyn unpacks what these passages mean, why scripture sometimes blurs the line between human rulers and spiritual beings, and how it all points back to the hope that the one true God reigns above every power.

Most of us imagine heaven as somewhere "up there." We look to the sky when we pray, talk about loved ones "looking down" on us, and even build churches to lift our eyes heavenward. Yet, Scripture's vision is far richer. In this episode, Kaitlyn explains why heaven isn't simply a place above the clouds, but wherever God's reign is made real. Both in the world to come, and even in our lives today.

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?
