This week Todd and Carrie dig deep into Genesis 2 with fresh eyes. They share listener and friend summaries of the creation story (including powerful takes from Nancy, Trevor, Darrell, and Carrie’s sons), then Todd unpacks a brand-new perspective: Eden as total dependence on grace, the two trees as two doors — one to life in Christ and one to independence and law. Todd also reads a moving excerpt from his memoir *Leaves That Blew Away* (“God’s Tornado”) that imagines the Father, Son, and Spirit knowingly creating a world that would break their hearts — because real love is always a choice. Raw, honest, funny, and full of hope — exactly what Beers With Jesus is all about. If you love the Bible talked about like real people over a beer, this episode is for you. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome & listener story summaries 12:00 – Genesis 2 reading 22:30 – God delighting in creation one animal at a time 42:00 – Tree of Life = Christ / Grace vs. Independence 59:00 – Memoir excerpt: “God’s Tornado” What stood out to you most in Genesis 2?
