Summary
In today’s installment of the “Kids Say the Most Heretical Things,” Kaitlyn tackles a big question: What will heaven be like? We hear from lots of kids about what they think - from what it will look like (“shiny, like a necklace!”) to what we’ll do in heaven (“eat orange cinnamon rolls”) to what they hope for (“to talk to Jesus in real life”). These kids have a lot to teach us about the future we are looking towards.

| 0:03.5 | Okay, when you die, but what do you think it looks like that? |

| 0:13.6 | That doesn't make any sense. |

| 0:17.9 | Curiously Kate, yeah. |
| 0:32.1 | Welcome to Curiously Caitlin, where we usually take a kid question about God, theology, or the Bible, and find a scholar who can answer it. |
| 0:42.4 | This week we have another episode in our Kids Say the Most Heretical Things series where we flip the script and begin not with kid questions, but with kid answers. |
| 0:49.4 | I believe that the church needs to learn not only from the big questions that kids have about God, but from their answers, too. |
| 0:54.5 | I have learned so much from kids. Their questions help me be more curious. Their answers stretch me to think more deeply about who God is. |

| 1:03.2 | including the things we didn't mean to teach them, but maybe accidentally did. |
| 1:08.1 | This week we are covering a big question that will tell us a lot about what kids have picked up |
| 1:13.4 | along the way. What is heaven like? Even the question itself says something about what we |

| 1:35.9 | chapter 21, at the very end of the story of the Bible, then I saw a new heaven and a new |
