In this thought-provoking episode of The Triggered and True Podcast, we delve into the profound story and significance of the two trees in the Garden of Eden. While Christian faith is not a requirement to understand these concepts, Christianity has undeniably shaped the perspectives shared in this episode.

We explore the human tendency to label things as good or bad and question whether we are truly capable of making such judgments.

The episode examines why the knowledge of good and evil is considered the root of all emotional pain. We discuss how this knowledge robs us of rest by keeping us in a constant state of processing and judgment. We also address the paradox that the knowledge of good can be just as detrimental as the knowledge of evil.

Listeners will hear about the concept that one cannot "eat from both trees" and how the knowledge of good and evil can act as a safety mechanism. Through personal anecdotes and theological insights, we explore how recognizing and relinquishing our need to judge can set us free from shame and anxiety.

Join us as we uncover how to live truly free by embracing compassion and love, and recognizing our inherent value beyond our actions. This episode is a journey towards understanding and liberation from the draining cycle of judgment.

Many of us know the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. In this episode, we explore this concept from a fresh angle. The reality is, under pressure, you will treat others as you treat yourself. If you aren't kind to yourself, extending kindness to others becomes exhausting. Our treatment of others reflects the state of our inner world. Join us as we dive deeper and share insights that could transform your life.
