Todd's World

Sarah dies at 127 and Abraham buys the Cave of Machpelah—the first (and only) piece of the Promised Land he ever actually owns. In this episode we walk through Genesis 23: Abraham’s mourning, the careful negotiation with the Hittites, and why a burial plot mattered so much to him and the generations after him (Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). We also talk about modern vs. ancient attitudes toward death and...

Short post-election show. Historic Democratic wave — a blue bloodbath — and a hard look at why. Border closed, but everyday costs, accountability, and messaging failed. Clips from Calley Means on the HHS bureaucracy (vapes, kids of officials, lobbying) and Erica Kirk on hot sauce sales. Generational losses, uniparty reality, and why the electorate keeps yo-yoing. Ends with the real answer: Beers w...

In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 22 — the binding of Isaac. God tells Abraham to take his son, the child of the promise, and offer him as a burnt offering on Mount Moriah. Abraham gets up early, walks three days, binds Isaac, and raises the knife. At the last second God stops him and provides a ram. They read the chapter in The Message, then look at it thro...

In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 21 in The Message: Isaac is finally born, Sarah laughs, and the long-awaited promise is fulfilled. Then the joy collides with real pain as Hagar and Ishmael are sent away. We talk about: Abraham’s grief at the peak of the promise Blended-family dynamics and the cost of trying to “help” God Hagar in the desert and God opening...

Last episode of the Wildly Opinionated News Hour before the November 3 midterms. Todd and Carrie break down election predictions (no blue wave, Senate holds, Michigan and Ohio races), react to an AI-generated video predicting the next 50 years (the “steep part of the curve”), discuss Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother, and cover France riots, the Cornell fraternity ban, data centers...

Abraham and Sarah tell Abimelech she’s his sister. God intervenes, Abimelech returns her with gifts, and Abraham prays for the king’s household. Most commentaries call this a lapse of faith. We don’t think the story reads that way. In this episode we walk through Genesis 20, look at Sarah’s age, the timeline, Jewish tradition about her beauty, and why this episode is more about God dealing with a...

Todd and Carrie crack open Genesis 19 and immediately discover why this story rarely gets the full treatment in church. Carrie goes in completely blind and reads the chapter from The Message —Lot, the angels, the mob, the daughters, the destruction, the pillar of salt, and the cave. Todd tries to keep up while they talk through hospitality culture, the “cries of the victims,” why Peter calls Lot r...

Todd and Carrie dig into the week’s wildest clips. James Talarico disappears from the Texas Senate trail for nearly two weeks (flu explanation + mental-health rumors + ACL Fest walkaround). Benny Johnson’s TPUSA entrance dance gets the full treatment. Mike Rogers hammers Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan debate. Vivek Ramaswamy faces groypers pushing his opponent with hot-girl memes. Plus the Cornell...

Abraham walks God to the road, then blocks his path. Sodom and Gomorrah’s sins are deafening. God is going down to see. Abraham starts at fifty righteous people and will not stop until ten. This week on Beers with Jesus, Todd and Carrie read Genesis 18:16–33 (The Message) and sit with the strange picture of Abraham interceding for a city he already knows is rotten. He rescued Sodom once for Lot. H...

Abraham is 99. For 13 years everyone thought Ishmael was the promise. Then God shows up and says that’s not what I mean. In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 17 and the start of Genesis 18 in The Message: name changes, circumcision, Abraham laughing first, Sarah laughing second, and a covenant cut into the body. We talk about: Why Carrie was wary of this chapte...

Young voters helped bring Trump back in 2024. Todd and Carrie ask why that coalition is already cracking — Iran, record diesel, and a midterm map that suddenly looks ugly. Then Kamala explains algorithms with flowers, Carrie is fine with a gay president, Todd isn’t, they close the Lindsay Clancy chapter with Patrick Clancy on 60 Minutes, and Dabo Sweeney says God’s still on the throne while Clemso...

Abram and Sarai are 86. God promised a family. Nothing is happening. So Sarai comes up with a plan. In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 16 in The Message: Hagar, Ishmael, jealousy in the household, and what happens when you try to force a promise God already made. We talk about: Why “they’re old as hell” is the whole setup Sarai’s idea, Abram going along, and...

Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 15: God appears to Abram again, Abram finally names the fear that a servant will inherit everything, God restates the promise of descendants like the stars, and then seals it with a covenant ritual. They talk about waiting longer than we expected, bringing specific fears to God instead of polite prayers, faith counted as righteousness, physical practices that h...

Carrie named it live: strangulation begins at home. A mother strangles her three kids one at a time. A hung jury. Jurors explaining why it was complicated. A culture that treats child murder as a mental-health footnote. Todd and Carrie refuse the soft landing. Latest Wildly Opinionated News Hour. Full episode and Beers with Jesus at toddsworld.net .

In this episode of Beers With Jesus we dive into Genesis 14 – the wild story of kings, war, Lot’s capture, and Abram’s daring rescue with just 318 men. But the real highlight? A mysterious figure named Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God, who shows up with bread and wine… and then vanishes from the narrative. Todd makes the case that Melchizedek is a theophany – a pre-incarn...

We’re both playing hurt this week (puffy eyelid + cracked ribs) and still going full send. Why Todd would rather deal with more child killers than live under Flock cameras and the surveillance state. Then the main event — the Lindsay Clancy Fan Club. Women lining the streets cheering a mother who strangled her three kids with exercise bands. The memes. The TikToks. The cultural sickness. And the s...

In this episode of Beers with Jesus (Todd’s World), Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 13 — the separation of Abram and Lot. Abram and Lot both become wealthy, the land can’t support them, and conflict arises. Abram lets Lot choose first. Lot takes the lush, well-watered plain that looks like the Garden of Eden. Abram settles in the hill country… and then God expands the promise dramatically. We...

God tells Abram to leave his country, his family, and everything familiar for a land He will show him. No map. No timeline. Just “Go.” In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 12 — the call of Abram, the covenant promise that all families of the earth will be blessed through him, the unexpected famine, and the strange (and repeated) story of Abram telling people Sa...

Beers With Jesus – Genesis Series They wanted to build a tower that reached heaven and make a name for themselves so they wouldn’t have to scatter. God took one look and said, “This is only the beginning… they’ll stop at nothing.” In this episode, Todd, Carrie, and special guest Cousin Trevor dig into the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10–11). We talk about the two sins that keep showing up throughout Sc...

We’re back after a few weeks off! In this episode of Beers with Jesus, Todd and Carrie dig into Genesis 9 — the rainbow covenant, God’s call to “live bountifully,” and the surprisingly awkward story of Noah planting a vineyard, getting drunk, and ending up naked in his tent. What exactly did Ham do that was so bad? Why does Noah curse Canaan instead of Ham? Is getting drunk actually a sin in the B...

We’re back after a short hiatus! Todd and Carrie return with a wildly opinionated breakdown of the week’s biggest (and strangest) stories.

After 150 days of chaos, the rain stops… but the waiting has only just begun. In this episode of Beers with Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 8 and explore what it really feels like when the worst of the storm is over, yet you’re still floating — waiting for dry ground and a new world to appear.
