Curiously Kaitlyn

Why Did God Ask Abraham to Sacrifice Isaac?

The story of Abraham and Isaac is one of the most unsettling passages in the Bible. Kaitlyn explains why God tested Abraham even though he already knew what Abraham would do, and what the story reveals about both faith and the character of God. God's tests are not meant to reveal something to him, but to reveal and form something in us. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:04 - Why Did God Test Abraham? 5:27 - Uncomfortable Things in Scripture 10:15 - Tempting vs Testing 16:15 - Faithfulness 25:36 - Wrapping Up 27:51 - End Credits

Will There Be Marriage in Heaven?

In wedding ceremonies, couples say, "Til death do us part." Wait, but what happens to your marriage after death? Jesus talks only briefly about marriage and weddings, but that has been enough to give scholars a lot to debate about throughout the centuries. Kaitlyn explains what these passages say and why she thinks heavenly matrimony seems plausible. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:52 - What Will Marriage Be Like in Heaven? 6:14 - What Does the Bible Say? 10:36 - Marriage's Purpose 17:41 - Sponsor - CBE International - CBE's 2026 Conference is in Chicago on August 6-9 2026!

Does God Cry?

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.   0:00 - Theme Song   2:32 - Does God Cry?   11:10 - Sponsor - Tyndale - To celebrate the NLT's 30th anniversary, Use code CURIOUS30 to receive 30% off any NLT Bible! https://tyndale.com   12:02 - Sponsor - With and For - The With and For podcast brings together psychology and spiritual wisdom—check it out now: https://pod.link/1712333330?view=apps&sort=popularity   13:05 - Sponsor - World Relief - Help walk alongside refugees by donating now at with https://worldrelief.org/KAITLYN   14:27 - Incarnate God Tears   29:48 - How to Explain it to a Child   32:02 - End Credits

Why did God make Eve from Adam?

The story of Adam and Eve has often been used to argue that men were created to lead and women were created to assist. But does Genesis actually say that? Kaitlyn looks more closely at the two creation accounts, the meaning of the word "helper," and why Eve's creation from Adam's side is meant to emphasize their shared humanity rather than her inferiority. 0:00 - Theme Song 0:56 - How Did God Make Even Out of Adam's Rib? 6:02 - Do We Know Genesis? 14:58 - Sponsor - Blissy - Pure mulberry silk pillow cases—hypoallergenic, naturally cooling, and recommended by dermatologists!

Do we get mansions in Heaven?

Heaven is often imagined as clouds, mansions, and maybe a few streets of gold, but Jesus' promise in John 14 is far more comforting than heavenly real estate. Kaitlyn talks about what Jesus meant when he said his Father's house has many rooms, why "mansions" may be a misunderstanding, and how the Bible's picture of eternity is physical, communal, and full of belonging. Heaven may not include a private mansion, but may offer something much better: a place in God's household. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:55 - Does God Have Mansions for Us? 3:09 - Mansion? Room?
