Episode notes

- Scripture contains strong, diverse passages that emphasize both God's sovereignty and human choice, creating a genuine theological tension.
- Kaitlyn explains this spans Genesis to Revelation with verses that sometimes make humans sound like puppets and other times clearly responsible.

- Kaitlyn uses Joseph and Jesus' crucifixion to show scripture sometimes attributes the same event to wicked people and God's foreknowledge.
