How did colorful eggs, chocolate bunnies, and mountains of candy become part of celebrating Jesus’ death and resurrection? Kaitlyn explores the surprising origins of the Easter Bunny and its traditions, and why Christians feel the need to baptize non-christian things by making up a Christian connection or a Christian origin. Should we join in on the Easter Bunny fun, or is this a tradition we should hop away from altogether? 0:50 - Theme Song 1:16 - Kids Try to Explain the Easter Bunny 2:20 - The Church Calendar 6:20 - Christian Symbolism and Eggs 10:16 - Sponsor - Zocdoc - Stop putting off those doctor’s appointments!

Why do we put ashes on our head for Ash Wednesday?
This week, we're kicking off a new segment - Kids Say the Most Heretical Things. instead of starting with a question, we let kids take a crack at explaining why we put ashes on our heads for Ash Wednesday. Their answers—funny, profound, and sometimes theologically questionable—give us insight into what we’re really teaching in church, whether we mean to or not. Along the way, we'll explore the history and significance of Ash Wednesday, how it connects to repentance, mortality, and Christian hope, and why facing our sin and death isn’t as dark as it seems. - Sponsor - World Relief - Get a free prayer guide to join a community of prayers in for refugees, immigrants, separated families, and persecuted Christians.

How did people like Adam and Eve live longer than we do now?
Dr. Dominick Hernandez joins Kaitlyn to answer an age-old question: How did people like Adam and Eve live longer than we do now?

Om Curiously Kaitlyn
Do you have questions about theology, the Bible, or the church that you’re too afraid to ask? Tired of pastors and scholars using unfamiliar language or overly complicated explanations? 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. Whether you're reminiscing about your own childhood curiosities or simply seeking a refreshing take on faith, tune in and rediscover the joy of learning with "Curiously Kaitlyn.”
