Summary
Dr. Barry Jones joins Kaitlyn to answer a question that we have probably all wondered at some point: Why do we fight God in our hearts? Dr. Jones gives us a theology of sin – where it started, how we encounter it, and what God has done to defeat it. Then he offers some practical help for addressing the sin we find in ourselves: practices of prayer and surrender that acknowledge our dependence upon God to save us from the power of sin.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Curiously, Caitlin, where we try to make theology make sense. Each week we will hear a kid |
| 0:06.8 | question about God, theology, or the Bible, and find a scholar who can answer it. We have gotten so many |
| 0:13.5 | wonderful questions from y'all. Don't forget that you can go to holypost.com slash curiously and leave us a question from a kid in your life. |
| 0:22.9 | Or you can leave a story about a Sunday school mishap or a kid doing something funny in church |

| 1:03.5 | favorite seminary professors. Well, let's hear our kid question today. Why do we always fight God in our hearts? |
| 1:11.6 | Which is so sweet. |
| 1:13.6 | And my favorite thing about this question is that clearly this is language this kid had to have learned from a parent or a Sunday school teacher that one of the ways we should talk about what's going on in our lives and our hearts is sometimes we fight God in our hearts. |
| 1:28.8 | What's your just initial reaction to this question? Why do we fight God? |
| 1:33.0 | You know, I think I can't really relate to it. I don't ever fight God in my heart. |
| 1:38.1 | But I can understand maybe how other people know. |
| 1:40.1 | Hypothetically. |
| 1:41.0 | This is, yeah, this is like in some ways, the essence of human struggle, right? |
| 1:45.8 | Is when I hear this question, it really is about, I think, trust and surrender. |
