Was Calvin a fatalist? And does Reformed theology leave people afraid to believe? This episode addresses how some preaching can overstate election and sovereignty to the point of paralyzing faith. But Scripture gives us a better, more biblical picture. Our pastors explore the doctrine of concurrence: how God's eternal decree includes—not excludes—human liberty, responsibility, and the real invitation to trust in Christ.
