S2E10 Free Will: God’s Risky Move

Why did God give us free will? If He’s all-powerful and all-knowing, is the future already set in stone? In this episode, the team wrestles with some of the biggest questions: God’s sovereignty versus man’s will, the purpose of free will, and whether predestination leaves any room for choice. We ask if sin was created by God – or simply allowed – and explore the idea that a real relationship with God had to involve the possibility of rejecting Him. From predestination to the promise that God wills all to be saved, we’re putting it all On the Table as we talk candidly about free will.
