Grace and Free Will, Ep. 2 Ron and John
This is the second episode where Ron and John explore the interplay between grace—what God does for us—and free will—what we decide for ourselves.
In this episode, they delve into numerous excerpts from scripture that inform this topic, but it includes passages that also raise as many questions as they answer.

Join John and Ron as they take this next step exploring a question that subsequently consumed the ancient world: If we are utterly dependent on God’s grace to restore our relationship, what do our own decisions have to do with it?
