Chad Thoughts: What If God Gave Adam a Choice?

Episode Title: Chad Thoughts: What If God Gave Adam a Choice?


Episode Description:

Have you ever had a "Chad thought"—one of those curious wonderings while reading Scripture? In this episode, we dive into Genesis 2 and explore the creation of Eve as Adam's helper. But here's the question: What if God didn't just create Eve outright? What if He gave Adam choices first—parading the animals before him to see what he would choose? Join me as we explore how God might be doing the same thing in our lives today, presenting us with options, letting us test them out, and ultimately leading us to what we truly need. Sometimes finding the perfect fit requires something from us—and that's okay.

In This Episode:

  • What "Chad thoughts" are and why they matter when reading Scripture
  • A deeper look at Genesis 2 and the creation of Adam's helper
  • Why God presented all the animals to Adam before creating Eve
  • The possibility that God gives us choices and lets us test them out
  • How sometimes getting what we need requires giving something up
  • Why even in a perfect garden, Adam still needed help
  • The daily choice to leave the kid's table and go deeper with God

Key Quote:

"Sometimes finding that perfect fit or the thing that we may need takes something from us. And so in return, God always gives you that perfect gift back."

About the Podcast

Leaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state. Every Monday at 6 am I will release short episodes where I am going to share what stood out to me in my time with God. At the end of the day it comes down to where scripture meets your story. You may be in the same spot as I am or you are sitting at the adult table or may need to join the kids table. Either option is ok, these episodes are to start the conversation as to “what stands out to you?” and not only grow myself but help others grow as well. "Here's the thing - leaving the kid's table isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice. And every day you choose to go deeper, I'll be right here with you."
