About this episode

Kaitlyn and Mike discuss the implications of animals in heaven and the true nature of Jesus in relation to our perceptions.

If your dog goes to heaven, will she see Jesus as a dog? Kaitlyn and Mike explore what the Bible actually says about animals, God's care for creation, and whether the pets we love might be part of the new creation. They tackle why Jesus became human and why that particular, embodied humanity still matters today. The conversation leads to a bigger question many adults quietly assume: is Jesus whoever we want him to be? And what happens when the real Jesus challenges the version we've made in our own image. 0:00 - Theme Song 1:05 - Will Jesus Look Like a Dog to Dogs? 5:04 - God Loves Animals 12:11 - Is Jesus Still Human? 19:00 - Sponsor - Toups and Co Organics - Simplify your routine and feel good about what you put on your skin.
