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 burial, Sarah’s place in the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11), Abraham being called a “prince of God,” and what it means to leave a stake in the ground for what God has promised.

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 with Jesus and following truth. Short show this week because of the weekend, but we didn’t want to miss the reckoning.More stories and merch at toddsworld.net#BlueBloodbath #Midterms2026 #Trump #ElectionRecap #WildlyOpinionated #Accountability #Uniparty #MAHA #CaseyMeans #EricaKirk #GenerationalLosses #BeersWithJesus #ToddsWorld #NewsHour

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 through Hebrews 11:17–19 (Abraham believed God could raise the dead). They talk about why this is the climax of Abraham’s story, the striking parallels to Jesus, the meaning of “Jehovah Jireh,” and what it actually looks like to hold the people and things we love with open hands.Also discussed: Isaac’s age, the geography of Moriah, dying to self, and having an eternal perspective when life doesn’t make sense.No neat bow at the end. Just the story and what it still asks of us.toddsworld.net for all the stories and merch#BeersWithJesus #Genesis22 #AbrahamAndIsaac #JehovahJireh #BiblePodcast #TheMessageBible #FaithAndObedience #Hebrews11 #MountMoriah #ChristianPodcast #Toddsworld

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 pagan king than about Abraham messing up. Also: shrewd as snakes, intercession, and not being responsible for the results.toddsworld.net for the books and merch#Genesis20 #Abraham #BibleStudy #BeersWithJesus #Genesis

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 righteous, what actually happened to Lot’s wife, and why the whole city gets wiped out.Also in this episode: a clip from the Steve Deace show where Todd’s question about Jesus (fully God, fully man) gets answered, plus the usual beers and honest reactions.Next week continues in Genesis.Books, merch, and the rest of Todd’s World: toddsworld.netAlso check out the Wildly Opinionated News Hour.Subscribe and share a clip if this helps.

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 7 case (texts, deadlifting Jane Doe, Camille Paglia), Nick Fuentes on demographics, public-execution talk, Trump’s diesel deal, and midterm optimism.

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. He refused its spoil. Now he asks the Judge of all the earth whether the good get swept away with the bad.We talk about mercy and justice side by side, talking to God like a friend, what it means to stand in the gap, and why Abraham looks for a minute more merciful than God—until you set him next to the cross. Also: a little on why this whole cultural mess grieves more than it solves, Steve Gregg on the kingdom, and why discipleship is mostly attempts and failures.Next week: Sodom and Gomorrah.Todd’s World: toddsworld.netBooks, Wildly Opinionated News Hour, and past Beers episodes are there.Genesis 18:16–33. Abraham. Sodom. Intercession. Mercy. Judgment.#BeersWithJesus #Genesis18 #Abraham 

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 chapterThe 13–14 year gap nobody talks aboutAbraham trying to keep Ishmael as Plan ACircumcision of the flesh vs circumcision of the heartBaptism, obedience, and getting it done the same day“Is anything too hard for God?”Isaac meaning laughter, and God owning the jokeScripture: Genesis 17–18 (The Message)Books & merch: toddsworld.netBeers With Jesus every week + The Wildly Opinionated News Hour every other week.What promise have you already decided God “must have meant”?
