Timothy Yoder

Guests Kymberli Cook, Timothy Yoder, and Paul Smalley discuss the tension between free will and predestination in Scripture. They explore the historical debate, different perspectives, and key passages. They also delve into the contrasting views on grace and offer advice on responding to those who question God's sovereignty.

Paul Smalley, teaching assistant and co-author rooted in Reformed theology, and Timothy Yoder, theology professor with expertise in philosophy, explore predestination and free will. They trace historical debates, map Calvinist and Arminian positions, contrast monergism and synergism, and discuss pastoral consequences like prayer, responsibility, and how these doctrines shape worship and humility.
