Episode notes

Have you ever wondered why God created both the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? In this episode, we explore the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis, and take a biblical look at God’s design for relationship, freedom, and the human will—and how it all connects to the way we lead and love our kids.

You’ll learn:

• Why the existence of love requires the freedom to make a choice

• The deeper meaning behind the two trees in the Garden of Eden

• How God parents us through love, not force

• Why true obedience only grows in the soil of connection
