Summary
As we continue on with our Easter series, we are answering the question: Why was Jesus crucified? Not just why he died, but why did it have to be on a cross? From the brutal history of crucifixion to its transformation into a symbol of hope, Kaitlyn traces how early Christians wrestled with, and ultimately embraced the cross as central to our faith.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, Caitlin here. If you're looking for a podcast that features fascinating conversations with theologians, |
| 0:05.9 | philosophers, and bestselling authors, then I highly recommend listening to the Signal Award-winning show No Small Endeavor. |
| 0:13.3 | Produced by Great Feeling Studios and PRX, No Small Endeavor explores what it means to live a good life. |
| 0:20.4 | Each episode host Lee C. Camp sits down with |
| 0:23.0 | special guests like the Queen of Christian Pop, Amy Grant, pastor and theologian Tish Harrison |
| 0:28.6 | Warren, and gospel music legend Russ Taff to discuss how their faith shaped their journeys. |
| 0:35.3 | If you're looking for somewhere to start, check out their recent episode |
| 0:37.8 | with Americana songwriter Drew Holcomb, in which she unpacks how creativity is a way to |
| 0:42.9 | overcome fear and make something that didn't exist before. It's a beautiful heart-to-heart |
| 0:48.2 | that is worth a listen. Don't miss out. Follow no small endeavor on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, |
| 0:53.9 | or wherever you get your podcasts. |

| 1:28.7 | We do this because I believe that the church needs to learn not only from the big questions |
| 1:32.9 | that kids have, but from their answers too. As I've learned from years in children's ministry, |
| 1:38.2 | kids have incredible ideas about God. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're poignant, |
| 1:42.8 | sometimes they're not actually right, but they force me to think more about why we believe what we believe. |
| 1:50.6 | And their answers also tell us something about what they've picked up from us in church. |
| 1:55.2 | Sometimes things we meant to teach them and sometimes things that we didn't. |
| 1:58.6 | And as we'll see this week, sometimes they've picked up on the things we avoid talking about. |
