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.\"","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T20:19:01.397523+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/curiously-kaitlyn-6868939"},"episode":{"title":"Why do Christians raise their hands in worship?","slug":"why-do-christians-raise-their-hands-in-worship","published_at":"2026-05-12T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/curiously-kaitlyn-6868939/why-do-christians-raise-their-hands-in-worship","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/curiously-kaitlyn-6868939","url":"https://960cca43-bf7f-4b28-9a20-fa86a2007f99.libsyn.com/why-do-christians-raise-their-hands-in-worship","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/35/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/960cca43-bf7f-4b28-9a20-fa86a2007f99/Curiously_Kaitlyn_May_12_2026.mp3?dest-id=4475443","summary":"Ever looked around during worship and wondered why everyone suddenly has their hands in the air?
