In this episode Jordan talks with Joel Chopp, Joshua Lee Harris, and Daniel Houck about the concept of free will, particularly within the context of Reformed theology. They explore the historical debates surrounding free will, the influence of Jonathan Edwards, and the distinctions between compatibilism and libertarianism. The conversation also touches on the implications of these theological positions for understanding human agency and divine providence, as well as the potential for bridging gaps between Wesleyan and Reformed perspectives.
