Q2: Do we have free will? Mike asserts strong yes — biblically, intuitively, and philosophically supported

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 22) 00:06:07 – 00:08:40

Viewer Lace Buck Corny asks about free will, sovereignty, and whether punishment is just if we lack free will.

Mike says he is firmly in the free will camp.

He distinguishes Calvinist partial free will (free in everyday choices, not in receiving the gospel) from the broader free will question.
