Summary
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?

| 0:44.6 | And we joked about me just saying yes and moving on. |
| 0:48.9 | Of course he did. |
| 0:49.8 | But then you and I both have learned recently, this is a more complicated question than I initially |
| 0:55.1 | thought. And people disagree about this a lot more than I initially thought. |
| 0:58.3 | Yeah. There's even like a church father who was basically like, of course Jesus didn't get sick. |
