Summary
Most of us assume angels rank above humans in the great cosmic hierarchy. But angels, for all their mystery and power, lack two essential parts of what it means to be human: a physical body and the kind of covenant relationship with God that shapes our story. Kaitlyn takes up the simple question of whether angels are boys or girls and uses it to draw out the deeper differences between angels and humans and how these differences point us back to the astonishing claim at the heart of Scripture: that embodied, relational humanity holds a uniquely honored place in God's creation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Curiously Caitlin, where we try to make theology make sense. |
| 0:06.5 | I don't know. |
| 0:10.1 | That doesn't make any sense. |
| 0:14.3 | Curiously, Kate, yeah. |
| 0:19.6 | Welcome back to another Curiously, Caitlin. |
| 0:22.2 | I am joined once again by producer Mike. |
| 0:24.7 | Mike, how are you? |
| 0:26.1 | Caitlin, I'm feeling angelic today. |
| 0:29.3 | Are you? |
| 0:30.2 | Yeah, and a little boyish. |
| 0:32.0 | And a little boyish. |
| 0:34.3 | Wow, without context, what a way to answer. |

I like your answers. And unlike today, most days I'm not totally sure what you're going to say. I know it'll be connected to the episode. I don't know what it's going to be. This week I knew part of what you were going to say, but boyish was not on my list of your possible answers. I got to keep on your toes. |

| 1:21.3 | Sometimes there's just screaming. |
| 1:23.2 | Not even like, oh, let's record that again. |
| 1:26.0 | I just like that probably what happened is a mom or a dad is like holding their phone for the kid to ask this question. And while that's happening, another child is screaming bloody murder. And we're all just kind of going. We're just going with it. We're just going with it. So to be clear, the question was, are angels depicted in the Bible as girls or boys? |
| 1:44.9 | Girls are boys? |
